I personally felt Inception was the best of the list above. I do however admit I have not seen them all.
The fact that in 2010 after so many Matrix movies and similar “jacking in” themed plots, to have something so fresh and new, is outstanding.
For me the sign of a great movie is if I love it at Cinema, watch it when it is released on optical media, but then still want to watch it again before another year is out. When you just can’t get enough of it. Inception is that movie, Fighter, Kings Speech and Black Swan, not so much.
Oh My gosh Steve Martin at 9th and # Natalie Portman at top . baaad
Yes, Annual academy awards Projections!
But, Steve Martin and Natalie Portman at top?
Wow. The King’s Speech didn’t even make the list. I’m sure searchs exploded for it after the awards.
Your predictions were partly right, what are your thoughts about next years contenders?
