I've divided this post into several categories, ranking the movies I've seen that were released in 2010. ENJOYED IT - Would recommend Toy Story 3 Ramona and Beezus Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Knight and Day How to Train Your Dragon Despicable Me The A-Team Iron Man 2 Inception Diary of a Wimpy Kid ENJOYED IT - Not necessarily for everyone (or guilty pleasures!) Sorcerer's Apprentice, The Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief Charlie St. Cloud Babies Tron: Legacy (moved from the top category since I think this may be a love it or hate it movie) INDIFFERENT - Not a lot of feeling one way or the other Tooth Fairy Robin Hood Life as We Know It Letters to Juliet Leap Year Last Song, The Eclipse (The Twilight Saga) Extraordinary Measures Clash of the Titans Dear John Book of Eli, The Alice in Wonderland MIXED FEELINGS - Liked some parts, disliked something about it When in Rome Voyage of the Dawn Treader (The Chronicles of ...

Whip It - very compelling The Young Victoria - A WONDERFUL MOVIE!

Saw this meme on the Pink Lemonade blog (Thursday Thirteen) and I just can't pass up a movie list challenge. lol My Top 13 Movies (if you ask me next week, it might change though - lol) 1 – Lord of the Rings (all 3) - Saw these repeatedly in the theatre and again on DVD 2 – The Scarlet Pimpernel - Sink me! I have loved Sir Percy since I was 16! 3 – A Knight's Tale - We will, we will ROCK YOU! 4 – Pride and Prejudice (1995) - Allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love this movie!
