During 2010, we received over 49 million rankings where movie fans have been placing new films from the year onto their lists and putting them up against the best movies of all time. This list culminates those rankings to generate the movies of 2010 that are highest ranked by all of the users of Flickchart. This list is only accurate up to the day this was published, so if you’re eager to see if things have changed, you can check the daily results at http://www.flickchart.com/charts/2010.

Don’t forget too that once you’re there, you can further filter the list to get the best of 2010 combined with any of your favorite actors or genres. Best animated movies of 2010? Check. Best Jonah Hill movies of 2010? Check. Best animated movies starring Jonah Hill of 2010? Check.

While there certainly may be some debate on what made the cut and where each film landed on the list that may not line up with your personal best of 2010, we’re surprised and interested to see such a wide variety of blockbusters, indie films, animated, documentary, comedy, sci-fi, and action make their presence this year. We’ve been making strides to improve the global rankings to be as accurate as possible, and we’ll have even more innovations on this front in the new year – along with a laundry list of new features we’ve got cooked up.

Remember, if you watched and ranked these movies on your Flickchart, you helped to create this list! If not, be sure to rank your favorites of 2010 to influence the list for the future! Without further adieu, here are your Top 20 of 2010:
