Quentin Tarantino has named his twenty favorite films of 2010. As you might
expect from Tarantino, the list is eclectic, including critical darlings,
the usual awards suspects, and a slew of popcorn movies, from the good to
the much less good (Robin Hood!). Here's the list:

  1. Toy Story 3
  2. The Social Network
  3. Animal Kingdom
  4. I Am Love
  5. Tangled
  6. True Grit
  7. The Town
  8. Greenberg
  9. Cyrus
  10. Enter the Void (“Hands down best credit scene of the year … Maybe best
credit scene of the decade. One of the greatest in cinema history.” QT)
  11. Kick-Ass
  12. Knight and Day
  13. Get Him to the Greek
  14. The Fighter
  15. The King's Speech
  16. The Kids Are All Right
  17. How to Train Your Dragon
  18. Robin Hood
  19. Amer
  20. Jackass 3-D

Notably not making the cut is Sofia Coppola's Somewhere, which was awarded
the top prize at this year's Venice Film Festival by a jury headed up by
Tarantino.

At the time, the Italian press speculated that favoritism had been in play,
given that Tarantino and Coppola are friends and exes. Tarantino denied
this, saying, “I wasn’t going to let anything like that affect me at all … I
was just going to literally respond to the film. … [Somewhere] enchanted us
from the first. Being her friend didn’t affect me or make me sway the jury
in any way. We kept coming back to it, as one of us said, because ‘it’s a
great fucking movie,’ all right?” So either despite being a "great fucking
movie," Somewhere wasn't as great as the twenty movies on his list; or it
was never actually that great and Tarantino was playing favorites; or it was
never that great, but Tarantino still thought it was better than the other
movies at Venice, so he wasn't playing favorites; or he just forgot to
include it on his list.
