Top 5 of 10: Cinema

Now that 2010 is well and truly behind us, its time to look back and name our favourite films of the past year. 

The Academy (and to a lesser extent the Hollywood Foreign Press) will be all up in our face with their choices, but as time has proven over and over again, they often are way off.

So instead here are the films that you talking about and the reasons why they made my list. 

I love films and I love going to the cinema, and 2010 was a good year for that.

5: Never Let Me Go

Why: It reminded me how short life is.

4: Please Give

Why: My love for Nicole Holofcener - the new Woody Allen. 

I even loved the unresolved infidelity, because we are all adults here.

3: The Kids Are Alright

Why: When Annette Bening sang All I Want, my heart broke.

This film never forced any agenda but instead used humour and nuance to subtly explore modern relationships.

2: I Am Love

Why: When Edo says: Happy is a word that makes you sad.

Everything from the opening titles to the sets were breathtaking. This was more than cinema, this was art. And Tilda of course! She’s amazing.

1: Cairo Time

Why: A small film that made little impact but was the most enjoyable two hours of my 2010.
