Glad to see you liked Melody for a Street Organ, zedz. It's wonderful, utterly vicious in its political commentary but deeply affecting too, with a visual complexity approaching Boschian levels!

Anyone else like Lourdes?

That doesn't seem like such an unreasonable opinion, but given that there are several dozen movies from 2010 that I prefer to either I guess I'll let eerik defend that himself if he wants to.

Inception bad? No. Shutter Island being the much better film? Amen to that.

Yes.
Agreed. But as Phil says there's plenty released that is better than both.

For films that officially opened in the U.S. in 2010:

1. Ghost Town [Zhao Dayong's incredible documentary, I actually saw it at the NYFF in 2009 - the first film I ever saw at that festival - and apparently it did show at IFC in late 2009, so I will count that as its "official" U.S. theatrical run, as minuscule it may be]
2. Carlos [preferably the long, complete version, which did play in NYC, at the NYFF, then BAM and I think IFC]
3. Everyone Else
4. The Social Network
5. World On A Wire [Rainer Werner Fassbinder's film from the '70s, shot for German TV but made its U.S. debut in 2010]
6. The Ghost Writer
7. Dogtooth
8. Sweetgrass
9. The Strange Case of Angelica (O Estranho Caso de Angélica)
10. Inside Job

Katalin Varga - no U.S. theatrical release yet, and none planned that I know of, though Artificial Eye put out a DVD of it this year in the UK
Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives - U.S. theatrical run scheduled for this spring, currently available on DVD from Korea, DVD and Blu coming from the UK in March
Certified Copy - begins its U.S. theatrical run in March and is scheduled for release on IFC's Sundance Selects label later this year, meanwhile it comes out on DVD and Blu-ray in the UK next month

To clarify the "Sundance Selects" thing, it's not just a DVD Label. Sundance Selects will be the nominal theatrical distributor in March, but you can still expect the DVD/Blu-ray to come from Criterion.
