The best of the best...and the worst of the worst

2010 has been a year that's flown by pretty quickly. There's been some good, some bad, and a lot of decisions to be made. I feel like every year, I evolve more and more as a person, learning more about the world around me. 2010 holds a lot of memories for me, and I admit that I will miss it a lot. But with less than two weeks left in the year, it's time for me to release my 2010 Best and worst lists. This year is very special because it's the end of a decade, so I can also release my best of the decade lists. This is going to be a pretty long post. I can tell.



Let me start out with my 20 best films of the year. 2010 had so many good films I couldn't narrow it down to 10. I'm going to list them all in alphabetical order, so that I don't have to actually pick one favorite.



127 Hours
The American
Black Swan
Cyrus
Easy A
Exit Through The Gift Shop
Get Him To The Greek
