Best of the year for me has to be Inception.

Haven't seen Unstoppable - really fancy it too.

Absolutely loved this.

Leonardo is much better in his older years than he was in his 'hayday' when he was younger.

Agree, Inception is probably the best film I've seen this year.

Another vote for Inception, although I saw straight through Shutter Island despite its attempts to throw me off the scent. Still enjoyed it.

If you liked Arnie and Sly 80's action, the The Expendables was OK.

Also try Green Zone, Hurt Locker, and The Kingdom (might not all be 2010).

Inception, Kick *** and Shutter Island were excellent.

RED is fun

Salt is average

Expendables is unspeakably awful

All IMO of course

Yeah it's pretty good, plus Rosario Dawson is easy on the eye.

I think a lot of us did, but the beauty of the film is in the way it is crafted.

Poor film aside from good cinematography.

The Town is very good - I had forgotten about that. Somewhere between Heat and The Departed.
