Top Movies 2010

Well another year has come to an end and as per prior years this year's list of movies is here. This year, I thought of doing this a bit differently and I've put in all the movies I've seen this year that were released in 2010 in star categories. In addition to this, I've selected the movies that make this year's top 5. In my opinion, this has been a good year for movies and some really good movies were released.
Without further ado, following is the top 5 list of movies for 2010.

5. The Town – Ben Affleck impresses once again with co writing the screenplay and also directing this movie. Its fast paced and has good performances from all actors. Although this kind of story has been told many times before, it still is a great movie that does keep one interested till the end.

4. Shutter Island – How can a combination of Martin Scorsese and Leo DiCaprio go wrong? The movie is a great interpretation of the movie and keeps the spooky feeling throughout the movie. I was really looking forward to watching this movie and it didn’t disappoint.

3. Toy Story 3 – How can you use a tried and tested formula and don’t screw it up, make it better. Pixar never ceases to amaze me and have made this great franchise even better. The main difference between their movies and other animations is the storyline and this movie is also a great example of that.

2. The Social Network – Very hard not to make this number 1, but I guess I had to pick one. It’s a great movie with good performances from all the main actors, including Justin Timberlake. The score is fantastic and gives the movie the dark undertone it needs to make it great. This is my pick for the Oscars this year and I think it will do really well overall at the academy awards.

1. Inception – The best movie this year by a whisker. I am a hopeless science fiction fan and couldnt resist putting this on the top of the list. In the years of remakes and sequels/prequels, Chris Nolan has come up with a unique science fiction thriller. Its got a great story and pulls it off really well. One of the best science fiction movie for the ages.

As mentioned above, ratings for all movies this year is below. Enjoy watching!!
