It will be interesting to see what you guys think about his #1 movie, and with #9 going to Takers.

1) Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
2) Vincere
3) Wild Grass
4) Mother and Child
5) Life During Wartime
6) Another Year
7) Inspector Bellamy
8) The Girl on the Train
9) Takers
10) From Paris With Love

"From Paris With Love" !????

I don't know who this guy is, but he's all over the place.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Takers and From Paris with Love? Really?
Life During Wartime was pretty bad... and I liked Happiness.

The Girl on the Train is a pleasant surprise. One of the better films I've seen in the last year.

I'm looking forward to watching Another Year and Inspector Bellamy.

This little blurb might answer a few questions:

I disagree

I'd actually put Scott Pilgrim on my list.

I don't know how I should feel about this.

Genuinely surprised that #1 isn't Toy Story 3.

This is going to be a great thread

Pretentious sissy list.

Given that Scott Pilgrim is actually generally liked by the internet fanboys, i'm surprised he put it at no. 1

That's all part of White's strategy. He zigs when you expect him to zag.

I've never even heard of movies 2-8.

Exactly.

puzzling. even though i wasn't big on Wild Grass despite its stunning visuals, i thought it was critically acclaimed? which means... why the fuck did it make Armand White's top 10 list?!

1) Scott Pilgrim vs. the World 80%
2) Vincere 92%
3) Wild Grass 66%
4) Mother and Child 79%
5) Life During Wartime 68%
6) Another Year 94%
7) Inspector Bellamy 81%
8) The Girl on the Train 79%
9) Takers 29%
10) From Paris With Love 38%

It's like a pretentious list with a few guilty pleasures thrown in.

I saw Scott Pilgrim vs. the World last week and was looking forward to it because of all the great reviews and boy was I disappointed. Scott Pilgrim was just dumb. I know it was going for the cooler trendy type feel but in my opinion failed.

I thought the movie was great myself, but it's definitely not for everybody.

Are we going to have a separate thread for every critic's top ten?

I posted Eberts in the AFI top 10 thread, I should request that one get renamed the thread of top 10s.

I love this guy.

'Mother and Child' was Hallmark Channel fodder - ewwww

Here's hoping he puts out one of his annual "Better Than" lists - those are always a lot of fun.

Anyways, this is actually a pretty good list, and surprisingly uncontroversial (excepting the last two, of course.)

"Vincere" really is an incredible film (though its "operatic" nature may make it off-putting for some), and, as a big fan of Mike Leigh, "Another Year" has been one of my most anticipated films for quite a while.

If that's true, I'm DVRing everything on the HC. Sex, nudity, immoral people. I'm so there!
