I had thought about doing this sort of thing some time ago, but this particular list I've only been putting off for about ten years. If I may be so bold, these are perhaps the best movies of the year, from where I stand.* Probably not exactly your list. But.
Thirty seems about right, right?
Where the year is disputable, I made a decision. Also, I order them all the way to thirty because I can. Perhaps you disagree?
 | #30. Happythankyoumoreplease Or else it's awful. Can not decide. |
 | #29. Chloe Easy to believe in. With a better ending... |
 | No bias necessary. Would work without him. |
 | #27. Easy A Wished better things for it, but that's not a criticism. |
 | #26. Hereafter Try explaining how this works at all; I don't get it. |
 | #25. The Fighter All its flash was in human form, and that's too much. |
 | #24. Barney's Version All right with the Canadian content, already! |
 | #23. Kick-Ass Could score higher if I could remember it well. |
 | #22. Rabbit Hole So many troubled marriages, so little time. |
 | #21. Please Give Surprise, another genre picture! Not really. |
