#1 Black Swan



Darren Aronofsky has quite a reputation for emotionally-charged, intense films ("Requiem For A Dream" and "The Wrestler") and this film is no different. I'm honestly on the fence on if this is a better film Than "The Wrestler." Without a doubt this film should have beaten "The Social Network" for best drama at the Golden Globes. The movie draws you in to its insane world and keeps you on the edge of its sanity until the curtains close. Natalie Portman is incredible and who knew that Mila Kunis could actually act. Though I suppose the argument could be made that she didn't stray to far from past characters.

Black Swan
Highly Recommended

#12 The Social Network




Well I forgot to add this to my 2010 update. However that did not make it a great film. Entertaining from beginning to end with great acting. I only wonder how much of it is real. I suppose I could find out by reading up on it, but I don't have that kind of time, so I'll just pretend its all real and maybe add in a few extra details of my own to make it even more salacious.

The Social Network

Highly Recommended
