The Films Of 2010 (MCN) Dec 31 fourth tally

The newest tabulation of film critics' year end top ten lists, courtesy the cinema geeks at Movie City News. About this iteration they write "There were a couple of technical glitches as the new system settles in – but the lists are starting to add up now. Yes, Social Network stays on top, but Inception and The King’s Speech are moving up the charts." My own favourites I've marked in boldface.

One Vote Wonders include...
Hadewijch
Lourdes
The Portuguese Nun
Nowhere Boy

But nobody gots no respect for my beloved Me And Orson Welles or the extraordinary Of Gods And Men. Presumably the former is an idiosyncratic favourite, and the latter hasn't been seen outside of festivals yet.
