My moviegoing comes and goes, and this year it mostly went: I saw a total of 16 new movies. (Plus some oldies, but those don’t count.) Below are my 10 favorites, roughly in descending order of preference:

“Cairo Time,” “Toy Story 3,” “Mademoiselle Chambon,” “The Kids Are All Right,” “Inception,” “Catfish,” “127 Hours,” “The Social Network,” “Cyrus” and “The Secret in Their Eyes.”

The other six: “True Grit,” “Avatar: Special Edition,” “Crazy Heart,” “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1,” “The Art of the Steal” and No. 16 out of 16, the closest thing to a stinker on the list, “Iron Man 2.”

One or two of these may technically have come out in 2009, but I saw them in 2010, as did almost everyone else. I only saw “The Social Network” on New Year’s Eve, solely to sneak it onto my 2010 list, and undoubtedly numerous other movies I didn’t see were as good as anything on this list.

What were your favorites?
