MOVIES WATCHED IN 2010: 340 *The core of the list falls under the 3 STAR column, meaning around half of all the movies I watched this year I considered merely average. Sometimes these were a pleasant surprise from a title I didn't expect and on many occassions I was left disappointed (blockbusters). * *5 STAR (KISSING THE SKY) titles mostly consist of titles I have seen in the past: "classics", with very few new titles even troubling a 5 STAR rating. Although a few just missed out.* *1 STAR (KISSING THE FLOOR) titles speak for themselves in my opinion. By far the worst movie I saw this year was Halloween II (Rob Zombie, 2009), which infuriated me on many levels and considering I also sat through Porn Shoot Massacre (Corbin Timbrook, 2009), (thanks Lovefilm!!) and a hacked to pieces Game of Death, The (Robert Clouse, Sammo Hung Kam-Bo (uncredited), Bruce Lee (uncredited), 1978), takes some doing.* All movies listed in chronological order. **(Rewatched) 5 STARS (KISSING THE SKY): 001) Straight Story, The (David Lynch, 1999) (Feb) 002) Predator (John McTiernan, 1987)** (Apr) 003) Silence of the Lambs, The (Jonathan Demme, 1991)** (Apr) 004) Alien (Ridley Scott, 1979)** (Apr) 005) Back to the Future (Robert Zemeckis, 1985)** (Apr) 006) No Country for Old Men (Ethan Coen, Joel Coen 2007)** (May) 007) Shawshank Redemption, The (Frank Darabont, 1994)** (May) 008) Groundhog Day (Harold Ramis, 1993)** (Jun) 009) Great Escape, The (John Sturges, 1963) (Jun) 010) Oldeuboi (Oldboy) (Chan-wook Park, 2003)** (Jun) 011) Psycho (Alfred Hitchcock, 1960)** (Jun) 012) 12 Angry Men (Sidney Lumet, 1957)** (Jul) 013) Bourne Identity, The (Doug Liman, 2002)** (Jul) 014) Shrek 2 (Andrew Adamson, Kelly Asbury, 2004)** (Jul) 015) Toy Story 3 (Lee Unkrich, 2010) (Jul) 016) How to Train Your Dragon (Dean DeBlois, Chris Sanders, 2010) (Aug) 017) Terminator, The (James Cameron, 1984)** (Sept) 018) Suspiria (Dario Argento, 1977)** (Sept) 019) Låt den rätte komma in (Let the Right One In) (Tomas Alfredson, 2008)** (Nov) 020) Toy Story 3 (Lee Unkrich, 2010)** (Nov) 4 STARS: 001) Corpse Bride (Tim Burton's Corpse Bride) (Tim Burton, Mike Johnson, 2005) (Jan) 002) Up in the Air (Jason Reitman, 2009)** (Jan) 003) Inglourious Basterds (Quentin Tarantino, 2009) (Jan) 004) Youth in Revolt (Miguel Arteta, 2009) (Jan) 005) Ging chat goo si 3: Chiu kup ging chat (Police Story 3: Super Cop) (Stanley Tong, 1992) (Jan) 006) Galaxy Quest (Dean Parisot, 1999) (Jan) 007) Ging chat goo si (Police Story) (Jackie Chan, 1985) (Jan) 008) Viskningar och rop (Cries and Whispers) (Ingmar Bergman, 1972) (Feb) 009) Tonari no Totoro (My Neighbour Totoro) (Hayao Miyazaki, 1988) (Feb) 010) Kaze no tani no Naushika (Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind) (Hayao Miyazaki, 1984) (Feb) 011) Mimi wo surmise (Whisper of the Heart) (Yoshifumi Kondō, 1995) (Feb) 012) Kurenai no buta (Porco Rosso) (Hayao Miyazaki, 1992) (Feb) 013) Mononoke-hime (Princess Mononoke) (Hayao Miyazaki, 1997) (Feb) 014) Hauru no ugoku shiro (Howl's Moving Castle) (Hayao Miyazaki, 2004) (Feb) 015) Birds, The (Alfred Hitchcock, 1963) (Feb) 016) Little Children (Todd Field, 2006) (Feb) 017) Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The (David Fincher, 2008) (Feb) 018) Rio Bravo (Howard Hawks, 1959) (Feb) 019) Yakuza, The (Brotherhood of the Yakuza) (Sydney Pollack, 1974) (Mar) 020) Entre les murs (The Class) (Laurent Cantet, 2008) (Mar) 021) Quiz Show (Robert Redford, 1994) (Mar) 022) Beguiled, The (Don Siegel, 1971) (Mar) 023) Moon (Duncan Jones, 2009) (Mar) 024) Invention of Lying, The (Ricky Gervais, Matthew Robinson, 2009) (Mar) 025) Road, The (John Hillcoat, 2009) (Mar) 026) Hurt Locker, The (Kathryn Bigelow, 2008) (Apr) 027) Princess Bride, The (Rob Reiner, 1987) (Apr) 028) Kick-Ass (Matthew Vaughn, 2010) (May) 029) Zombieland (Ruben Fleischer, 2009)** (May) 030) State of Play (Kevin Macdonald, 2009)** (May) 031) Descent, The (Neil Marshall, 2005)** (Jun) 032) Annie Hall (Woody Allen, 1977)** (Jun) 033) Ghost Town (David Koepp, 2008)** (Jun) 034) Leaves of Grass (Tim Blake Nelson, 2009) (Jun) 035) Funny People (Judd Apatow, 2009) (Jun) 036) Il y a longtemps que je t'aime (I've Loved You So Long) (Philippe Claudel, 2008)** (Jun) 037) Finding Nemo (Andrew Stanton, 2003)** (Jun) 038) There's Something About Mary (Bobby Farrelly, Peter Farrelly, 1998)** (Jun) 039) Pale Rider (Clint Eastwood, 1985)** (Jun) 040) Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (Rawson Marshall Thurber, 2004)** (Jul) 041) Snatch.
