The InSneider's Top 10 and Worst 10 of 2010

Earlier this evening, Entertainment Weekly's John Young posted a Top 10 list that reminded me I hadn't formally posted one of my own.

Seven of John's Top 10 films made my own list, and I haven't seen I AM LOVE (his #10) or WAITING FOR SUPERMAN (his #8), though I have screeners of both. Clearly we have very similar taste in movies, as the only one we seem to disagree on is INCEPTION. While I admire Christopher Nolan's mind-bending original vision, I can't say I was a huge fan of his multi-layered narrative, which ultimately left me cold.

Without further ado, here are The InSneider's Top 10 Films of 2010, as well as the Worst 10 Films of 2010. Feel free to weigh in with your own in the comments section.
