Glad to see some respect for Winter's Bone. I can't argue with too many choices. Altho I would have nominated Shutter Island over several films esp the overrated The Kids Are Alright. And Chris Nolan for director over David O. Russell-The Fighter was carried more by its actors than any direction which was serviceable.
I know I'll be in the minority, but I thought "Black Swan" was dreadful--so garish and over-the-top. As we were leaving the theater, this is the verbatim exchange between me and my husband:
Me: God, I haven't seen a dance movie that kitschy since Sylvester Stallone directed John Travolta in "Stayin' Alive."

Husband: Yeah--and you saw both Lambada movies.
