#8 The Social Network
I thoroughly enjoyed watching The Social Network, not only because the network of note came to be while I was at my alma mater. Tight script, excellent acting, captivating story, regardless of how accurate it actually was. I loved the juxtaposition between the two court cases and how they framed the flashbacks that comprised the bulk of the movie. Eisenberg made a great Zuckerburg and Garfield was stellar as Saverin, the friend and business partner who seems helpless as the vision of which he was a part slowly slips away.
#7 Blue Valentine
This one goes on the, "I didn't see it but I wish I had even though it was likely soul-crushingly depressing," list.
#6 Exit Through the Gift Shop
I didn't know much about this movie - or, indeed, the graffiti art community - before heading to see Exit Through the Gift Shop with the Mulhern, but I'm glad I did because it was thoroughly enjoyable. The documentary is straightforward enough at the outset, telling the story of budding documentarian Theirry ("Terry") Guetta and his attempt to follow public artists using some family connections. However, by the end the story has become twisted around so that you almost can't believe it was true to begin with. Exit Through the Gift Shop very intriguing film that I'd highly recommend.
