AFI Announces Top Ten of 2010

While every online and print source of motion picture industry news and criticism puts out a Top Ten list this time of year (yours truly not an exception, look for it soon), some may say the “definitive” voice is the American Film Institute. For better or for worse, they’ve announced their list of the top ten films of 200… and, personally, I am quite pleased. None of these films are anything short of spectacular.

“Black Swan,” directed by Darren Aronofsky
“The Fighter,” directed by David O. Russell
“Inception,” directed by Christopher Nolan
“The Kids Are All Right,” directed by Lisa Cholodenko
“127 Hours,” directed by Danny Boyle
“The Social Network,” directed by David Fincher
“The Town,” directed by Ben Affleck
“Toy Story 3,” directed by Lee Unkrich
“True Grit,” directed by Joel & Ethan Coen
“Winter’s Bone,” directed by Debra Granik

BLACK SWAN continues it’s remarkable tsunami of critical acclaim, while WINTER’S BONE is still (thankfully) proving small films are capable of competing with the big dogs.
