Top 10 Films of 2010 – John’s Picks

Here is my list of the top 10 films of 2010. Spencer and I go into more detail on the films themselves in Episode 74. This post exists as more of a cheat sheet for those of you looking to catch up on the films of last year.

Below you will find a list of all of the films I’ve seen that went into wide or limited release in the U.S. in 2010. I do this to put the top 10 in context. So don’t think of this as a top 10 of every movie released in 2010, just the top 10 of the 80 or so movies that I saw in 2010. This list is followed by the top 10 itself and honorable mentions.
