My Favorite Movies of 2010

I did an advanced search on imdb for movies released in 2010 and discovered there are 7,503 of them! I looked through the first 1000 and made this list of movies I've seen and movies I would like to see. The two lists are ordered from favorite to least favorite.

I saw 35 movies which were released in 2010. I actually saw more movies via NetFlix but this list is just about the 2010 movies.

1. Inception - one of the best movies in the past decade
   
2. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World - entertaining from start to finish
   
3. Eclipse - yes, I'm a huge Twilight fan. I admit it.
   
4. Kick-Ass - I'm a sucker for super hero movies, especially about ordinary people. The foul-mouthed 12-year old girl who could take-out a room of thugs, was also cool to watch.
   
5. The King's Speech - we can all relate to stage fright. Overcoming it may take years of hard mental and physical work. Based on true events. Great movie.
6. Black Swan - The pressures of work can really get to us sometimes and in this case, drive us crazy. Seeking perfection is an unrealistic goal.
7. The Fighter - you can probably relate to trying, succeeding then later failing, then trying harder and succeeding again. Boxing is a really tough profession.
8. The Karate Kid - I was not a fan of the original but loved the remake
   
9. Hot Tub Time Machine - I dropped in on the movies with nothing in mind to see and spotted this movie I never heard about. I loved the idea of going back to the 70s to right the wrongs.
   
10. Let Me In - I saw the Swedish original Let The Right One In and it really left an impression on me. The American remake was really true to the original movie. I was thoroughly impressed.
    
11. 127 Hours -My adventures could have put me in similar situations where I would be forced to do something extreme to survive. This movie really made wonder what I would do in this situation.
    
12. Eat Pray Love - I loved this movie about seeking the meaning of life.
    
13. The Book of Eli - Gritty post-apocalyptic movie about one man's goal to preserve the King James Version of the bible owning the last copy in existence.
    
14. True Grit - I never saw the original but this movie hooked me from start to finish.
    
15. The Other Guys - Very funny movie that pokes fun at police action movies.
    
16. Get Him to the Greek - likable characters put in very funny situations. The rock star also learns something in the end.
    
17. Secretariat - based on the true story of the greatest race horse ever. I love racing movies.
    
18. Due Date - Funny road trip movie that goes way over the edge.
    
19. Date Night - Mistaken identity, crazy chases ... very funny.
    
20. Skyline - Great special effects and exciting story about alien invasion. I can't wait for the sequel! It felt like the movie was just starting when it ended.
    
21. The Social Network -Fascinating movie about how brains, luck and talent played a part in making some people very rich.
    
22. Iron Man 2 - Not as good as the first movie but still very entertaining. I look forward to the sequels as well as expanding Marvel comics movies yet to come out.
    
23. The Crazies -yet another survivor movie during a zombie break-out. I do love the zombie movies for some reason.
    
24. Gulliver's Travels -great special effects and funny remake of the old classic story.
    
25. It's Kind of a Funny Story -funny and touching story about mental illness
    
26. Diary of a Wimpy Kid -I can relate to being a wimpy kid in school struggling with bullies and popular kids.
    
27. Grown Ups -I can relate to being a kid in an adults body.
    
28. Devil -From the mind of M. Night Shyamalan. This was his best movie in a long time.
    
29. Love and Other Drugs -
30. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 -Yes, I enjoy the Harry Potter movies. I have not read the books. Part 1 was kind of boring at times but I understand it's just the setup for the real ending.
    
31. Tron: Legacy -I loved the original and the remake was pretty good too.
    
32. Frozen -scary because it can happen to you. It really makes me wonder what I would do.
    
33. Alice in Wonderland -you either love or hate this movie. I hated it.
    
34. Megamind -Some good parts but for the most part, I was bored surprisingly.
    
35. Alpha and Omega -Cute story and good animation.
    
36. Furry Vengeance -I really did not like this movie about animal revenge.
    
37. Nanny McPhee Returns -silly movie. good for kids though.
    
38. Marmaduke -Awful.
