As you might have noticed, we've gone a little Top 10 crazy in the last few weeks. It's what you do at the end of the year, and especially if you write about movies, where top 10 lists are practically their own languages. But among the more inventive lists, like best lines of dialogue and best movie music moments, our four critics put together their own personal top 10s. If you've been reading them you might have noticed they're all really, really different, but there was enough of a common thread that we used a somewhat scientific process, spearheaded by Mack, to pull them all together for an all-CB top 10. By ranking each pick on a numerical scale (#1 is 10 points, #2 is 9 points, etc.), here's the group top 10 we wound up with.
1. 50/50
2. The Descendants
3. (tie) Young Adult and The Ides Of March
5. The Muppets
6. Moneyball
7. Cedar Rapids
8. Take Shelter
9. (tie) Drive and Tree Of Life
Believe it or not, 50/50 didn't even make everyone's list-- The Descendants was the only common film between all four lists, though Young Adult, Take Shelter and The Ides of March were loved by more than one of us too. Below are links to all four lists, where you can check out all of our detailed reasons for why we chose these movies.
