2010 movies

[mellicious]

I did my annual ritual of trolling through last year's LJ entries to see what movies I saw in theaters last year, and I came up with this list (in more or less the order we saw them):

Up in the Air
Zombieland
Alice in Wonderland
How To Train Your Dragon
Iron Man 2
Clash of the Titans
Percy Jackson and the Olympians
Prince of Persia
Toy Story 3
Despicable Me
Inception (saw twice)
Machete
Red
The Town
The Social Network
Megamind
Unstoppable
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (part 1) (saw twice)
Easy A
The Fighter

Since I wasn't updating all that regularly this year, I might've missed a couple, but this looks like the bulk of them, anyway. I think I'd have to go with Inception as the best of that list, no surprise there. I liked a lot of these quite a lot. Unstoppable was very good and mostly got ignored. Others I especially liked were How To Train Your Dragon and of course the Harry Potter movie. (All of the cartoons on that list were very enjoyable, actually: Toy Story 3, Despicable Me, and Megamind, besides the dragons.)

I was going to suggest True Grit as our Sunday movie this week, but Rob is working on Sunday. I guess we could break tradition and go on Saturday!

Oops - added Red and The Town - I thought the fall movies seemed thin. (I enjoyed both but The Town was better.) Aaand The Social Network, which I liked a lot but not as much as Inception.

And one more that got left out, darnit - Machete. Which actually is up there, quality-wise. Well, not quality, per se, but a very enjoyable movie, in any case. Making 20 movies I saw last year -- almost twice as many as I came up with in 2009.
