    The Hangover and The Messenger got nice boosts, and Sugar keeps its head above water...

    Intersting list.

    Inglorious Basterds and Avatar are surprisingly absent.

    I'm a fan of polite discourse Casey, and especially in terms of personal thoughts on film...no one is ever wrong, so there's no point in yelling, to me.

    The hangover was pretty dull film.

    But its very nice to see that two animated films made it into their top 10.

    I thought they would include 500 Days of Summer. Bummer, asides that a good list.

    Indeed, I figured that, Funny People, and maybe Star Trek or District 9 would have showed up...

    the hangover definitely isn't on any of my top lists but it was hilarious and not dull imo!!

    Well, thinking out of left field, or whatever field my mind is in at the moment, I hope, if A Single Man or A Serious Man, are nominated for and one of them wins best picture at any awards show, that whoever reads out the winner has their glasses on! With such similar titles we wouldn't want another "Marisa Tomei" rumour!

    interesting potential dilemma Matthew...

    I'm just thinking back to when The Hurt Locker was released and how much you guys loved it, and now with the nominations rolling in and Best Pic lists, sounds like you were on the money.

    (takes a bow)

    I'm just happy a good film is doing well. Our enthusiasm for it started off as perhaps wishful thinking, but it's worked out (so far)...

    I like this list a lot. I would like to see (500) Days of Summer more, but I like the includison of Sugar and the Hangover. I wonder if it and Star Trek will split a lot of the popular/still a good movie non-arthouse vote?

    Bigelow in '10.
    Hurt Locker for the W.
