The Movie City News tabulation of critic year-end top ten lists, as of Jan 7. Their chart includes links to all the individual top ten lists. But mine is way better because those lazy bums only rank the first 20 films. 
It's a messy chart this time around, because I've added in a bunch of Rotten Tomatoes numbers, for comparison. So mine is actually way, way better.
Note that Lourdes has debuted at #53, Winter's Bone holds its own at #2 but Inception is gaining on it. Sadly, no other critic shares my enthusiasm for Me And Orson Welles. And Nowhere Boy is loved by precious few. Alas.
Aha!! I need no longer feel abashed at my enthusiasm for Me And Orson Welles! It was on last year's chart, ranking #51. Whew.
