Top movies of 2010

I loved Winter's Bone. If only because I've been to that part of the Ozarks before a few times (my grandpa lived in a town called Boliver Missouri), and that movie was so damn authentic (the scenes where you see the inside of the poor cabin and how they would store lotion and stuff in old maraschino cherry jars...I've seen places like that, and I don't know but it sure felt like an authentic touch to me) Not that I knew any meth cookers or really visited anyone from that poor a part of the state, but I've known people from there (and a few tweakers from the area) and that film got them just right without making them into total stereotypes.
 
I also enjoyed the hell out of Scott Pilgrim too. It helps that I was/am a video game geek from the NES era.

So The Town was your 9th favorite movie but also one of the most overrated?
 
Im guessing the real reason that TSN made it onto so many of your lists is because it somehow validates your Facebook use. LIke, you were in the in-crowd before FB made it big or something.

TSN was a good movie, but what makes it one of the better movies of the year?

Editing? No
Cinematography? No
Sound? No
Writing? No
Acting? No
Directing? No

Though I'm on FB, I hate it so no.

Regarding your specifics...

Editing? I totally disagree. It's weaved seamlessly, going back and forth between the two depositions as well as the actual origins of FB.
Cinematography? This isn't True Grit so um, it doesn't really lend itself to some Roger Deakins nod.
Sound? This wasn't Avatar.
Writing? Um, hell yes. Did we even watch the same movie?
Acting? Yes. Perhaps there were no standout performances like Bale or Leo in The Fighter but everyone did exactly what they had to do and nailed their roles, minus Jones.
Directing? Yes. The movie is great. Period. How much or little Fincher had to do with that, I don't know. But he got a hell of a lot out of a cast that wasn't exactly full of big names. Sure Eisenberg and Garfield are solid, but you get my point.

For instance, dreams don't work that way. The reason time is slowed down in dreams is because your brain fires hundreds of images at you in a short period of time. Your mind then tries to sort out and make a narrative out of the images, which causes the impression of a slowing effect. The notion that anything that happened in Inception is even slightly plausible (even suspending disbelief for the sci fi gadgetry involved) is silly. Dreams just don't work that way.

Mine work that way.
