Favorite Movies of 2010

Numbers 1-26 are ranked IN ORDER. As the post shows though, I thought 1-12 were all pretty great. I'm surprised my "didn't like" list is as short as it is, but this year I actively avoided movies that looked bad... so basically I avoided a LOT of movies. Anyways, here's the list!

My Favorites
1. How To Train Your Dragon

2. The Social Network
3. Inception
4. Toy Story 3

5. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

Favorite Movie I saw This Year That Didn't Come Out This Year

Into the Wild

Best to Worst: 2009s Movies

READ THIS BEFORE GOING STRAIGHT TO THE LIST LIKE YOU PROBABLY ALREADY HAVE: I have not seen every movie this year. This list only includes movies I myself wanted to spend the money to check out. There may be some good movies I don't have on here because I didn't want to or have the time to see them. There are probably dozens of horrible movies that I'm not ranking very low because I had the smarts to not see the films to begin with.

ALSO: Most "Best Movies" lists across the internet only include Post-Oscar-Season movies - or movies that came out starting in March. My list includes movies released from January 1st of 2009 to December 31st of 2009... which is hard because December 31st isn't here yet.

Please leave me your lists in the comments! You can do top 5, 10, whatever. I'm curious what everyone else liked. Obviously we didn't see the same movies, and I'm sure we have differing opinions, so yep, let's seem em!
