Hmm. Very interesting taste and order. I'll think of mine and post later tomorrow but not all bad. Birdman I think was pretentious crap but it's your list. I will be back with my 10. I wonder where "The Departed" and some others are missing but that would be my OP
shareHow is Birdman pretentious? It's so freaking well-made.

Birdman is so overly self involved and self aware that I can see how it would come off as pretentious. The Fighter like most of the David O films of late has a such a realness to it. Interesting that Fighter would be number two for you.
I will hold the Christ light for you. One Bread, One Body
A realness, but a certain exuberance and movement as well.
