Surfing past a site that lists the top 100 U.S. box office draws for each of the last 10 years, I not only realized how many movies I have yet to see, but also decided to choose one film each year as my favorite. I haven't seen any of the top 100 for 2010 yet, and for several years I had a difficult time choosing, hence the "Honorable Mentions" at the bottom. There were also some indie and foreign films that might have appeared here if they'd been in the top 100 (I'm thinking especially of "Waitress" from 2007, "Secretary" from 2002, and "The Lives of Others" from 2006). Obviously I don't care for The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, or Harry Potter....
