1. The Social Network - just an absolutely tremendous written script with great dialogue.
2. Daybeakers - The fact that this movie doesn't get talked about or mentioned boggles my mind. It's my personal favorite movie of the year, but Social Network was just an overall better movie. I loved the way it was shot, and the plot I thought was original and excellent.
3. Hot Tub Time Machine - I know its crazy but I love Craig Robinson and they actually pulled off a hilariously entertaining movie out of such a ridiculous plot.
4. Inception - What really needs to be said about Inception that hasn't? It's Christopher Nolan so that right that is all that really needs to be said.
5. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World - This was probably the most original movie I saw this year, just the way it was shot, the dialogue, and the transition shots. The movie was so fast pace and was just one of the best movie experiences I've had all year.
6. Kick Ass
7. She's Out of My League - Probably the most under the radar movie this year. Every time I watch it I can never find a bad thing about it.
8. Cyrus - Incredibly funny and goofy. Jonah Hill was at his finest in this movie.
9. Get Him To The Greek
10. Easy A
I've seen a lot of other movies in theaters this year such as Youth and Revolt and Devil which I thought were good movies but definitely don't deserve to be on any list. Although, my choice of HTTM could be said, but I have a soft spot for it haha. The Last Airbender was awful, I can't really remember if Wolf Man was this year but found it to be boring. Splice was okay. Iron Man was decent, but had too much stuff going on and way too many characters in it (kinda like Spiderman 3, but a lot better). I have yet to see Black Swan and 127 Hours though I really want to. Oh and Clash of Titans was just embarrassing. Jackass 3D was really fun but again doesn't belong on a list like this.
