Which films did he choose for his best of 2010 list? King picked Matt Reeves‘ Let Me In as his #1 film of 2010 declaring it “the best horror film of the decade.” Hit the jump to see the full list in brief.
Stephen King serves up a top 10 smorgasbord that encompasses a wide range of strange flavors, including a couple of things I have no intention of sampling. We’ll list them in backwards order like he does — presumably so his excellent top choices can erase the bad taste left in our mouths from the worst ones. There’s sometimes a line I have trouble crossing in a few of King’s creations and here I’ll draw that line between 8 and 9. Thanks to Marshall for the slashfilm link.
10. Green Zone – “one Iraq war movie that puts story and suspense above shrill outrage.”
9. Jackass 3D
8. Monsters
7. Splice
6. Kick-Ass
5. Takers ‚Äì ‚ÄúThis satisfyingly complex cops-‚Äôn’-robbers movie features great performances ‚Ķ and the armored-car heist is the best action sequence I‚Äôve seen this year.‚Äù
4. The Social Network – “succeeds where Michael Douglas; Wall Street sequel fails.”
3. Inception
2. The Town – “Bad title, fantastic movie. … a strangely intimare film”
1. Let Me In
