Your favorites/best of 2010 so far (first 6 months)
Yeah yeah yeah, I know there is a "Rank em as you see 'em" thread. But that talks about the good AND bad films of 2010. I wanted to hear what people thought were the best of the year only (so far). Or their favorites. Here's a list of mine:
1) "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"
2) "Toy Story 3"
3) "Micmacs"
4) "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest"
5) "North Face"
6) "Iron Man 2"
7) "The Secret in Their Eyes"
8) "A Prophet"
9) "Shutter Island"
10) "Fish Tank"
11) "The Girl Who Played with Fire"
Edit: I want to change number #4. Even though it doesn't open in the U.S. until the Fall, saw it this week.

That scene in the hotel suite where they were smokin the "jeffrey" was one of the funniest and best executed comedy scenes ever filmed IMO. My audience was howling the whole time. I missed so much from them laughing, and me.

Copied directly from my "My Picks of '10" signature which is from the thread "Rank 'Em as You See 'Em". This list changes every time I see a new movie from this year, so in the next week or so it will be outdated.
2010 Top 10
1.) Ip Man 2- 92% (A-)
2.) Shutter Island- 91% (A-)
3.) Toy Story 3- 89% (B+)
4.) Kick Ass- 86% (B)
5.) The Book of Eli- 84% (B)
6.) Youth in Revolt- 76% (C)
7.) Remember Me- 74% (C)
8.) The A Team- 73% (C)
9.) Hot Tub Time Machine- 73% (C)
10.) The Losers- 72% (C-)
* I consider anything above 60 percent to be a decent film, anything below that is either acceptable or plain out horrible.
Others
Iron Man 2- 72% (C-)
The Wolfman- 68% (D+)
Dear John- 66% (D)
How to Train Your Dragon- 65% (D)
From Paris With Love- 63% (D)
The Lovely Bones- 60% (D-)
Edge of Darkness- 54% (F)
Alice in Wonderland- 39% (F)
She's Out of My League- 32% (F)

OK guys, I'm buying it now. I was on travel when it came out and it was gone when I got back. I heard nothing but great things about it. But I love Matthew Vaughn, so I'm sold. I can't wait.
OH....another movie I forgot to add to my top 10 (damn it). Speaking of "Kick Ass"...."Nowhere Boy" featuring Aaron Johnson from "Kick Ass". It's not in the U.S. theaters until this Fall. But came out last year in the U.K. And I bought the BD. Fantastic film (about young John Lennon).

Of what I've actually gone to the theater to see:
Toy Story 3
Kick Ass
That's it. I'm out. My least favorite list would be much longer. Just an awful year for mainstream film.

I'm never much for lists, but 'Valhalla Rising' blew me away this year.
That film sticks out above anything else so far.

I'd say hell no. A very, very different movie from those two. I indeed loved STARDUST more than I ever expected to, but KICK-ASS left me cold and disinterested.
