Call yourself a film buff

Frankly I'm appalled. During 2010, I saw just ten new films at the cinema. I love films, I love the cinema. Ten films is a complete disgrace. What makes it worse is that at least three of them were due to me accompanying one of the kids, rather than making a deliberate choice to see them. It makes choosing my film of the year very difficult. Thankfully six films that I did see were great (it seems to have been quite a good year for films) and if pushed I would select as the best film, Inception followed closely by Up In The Air. Toy Story 3D was unquestionably the most over-rated. It was fine but not even the best of the trilogy and certainly not a classic. The best film of 2010 that I didn't see at the cinema has to be Oil City Confidential featuring the mesmerising Wilco Johnson. The full list is below. 2011 will be better

Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll
Up in the Air
Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief
A Single Man
Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang
How to Train your Dragon
Inception
Toy Story 3
Monsters
The Tourist

Perhaps more interestingly are the five films I would have most liked to see but didn't get round to. They are in no particular order;

The Social Network
Piranha 3D (is this sufficient excuse for the picture of Kelly Brook)
Kick Ass
Catfish
Chico and Rita
