Best movies 2010

As is often the case I get to the end of the year and have a tough time compiling a best movies list. Some movies have to sit with me for a while and, of course, I need to catch a good many that I missed throughout the year. This past year was no different and so I find it a bit easier and more entertaining to list the films in categories. The 28 films [!] are listed under each heading by preference. [If I haven't listed a movie that is making a lot of other lists it is probably because I have yet to see it].

I think I saw Vincere, Inspector Bellamy, and The Father of My Children with you! Pretty fun. & I just saw Exit Through the Gift Shop. Here in France it's called "Faites le Mur".

Yes, saw them with you. Let's see 'Take the Wall" or something like that? Interesting title.
