Best Film of 2010

I can't do a "Top 5" list of the best films of 2010 because, quite frankly, we didn't SEE that many movies this past year.  Our summer was busy with photo shoots, and consequently, we missed many of the summer blockbusters.  But, with that said, I can say without a shadow of a doubt, the best film of the year was Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.

#1 Forever - Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
As the poster says, it IS the most epic film ever.  This film does so many things right; great comedy, amazing action, memorable music, quotable dialog, and enjoyable characters.  Director Edgar Wright took his time to make sure this film was done properly.  It is not a Hollywood cash-in, but a finely crafted piece of geekdom.  

Wright worked with the comic's creator, Bryan Lee O'Malley, on ever aspect of the film and it shows.  Scenes and dialog are pulled directly from the books, as are the locations and clothing.  It's a comic book come to life in every sense of the word and is a shinning example of how film adaptations should be done.  The film may have tanked at the box office, but it's building a huge cult following that is going to live on for many years to come.

Agree! This was definitely one of my favorite movies of the year. It's currently my favorite to play and listen to while I'm cooking! Bravo!
