Edgar Wright’s 5 Favorite Movies of the Year

All week here at the GQ Tumblr, we’ll be taking a delightfully surreal trip back through the cultural demilitarized zone that was 2010: meat dresses, Mel Gibson meltdowns, Sarah Palin’s Alaska… some day historians will look back on this year and say, “What … the hell?”

But lets start on a positive note, with Friend-Of-GQ Edgar Wright, director of this year’s  woefully underrated Scott Pilgrim vs the World, sharing his Five Favorite Movies of the Year. Take it away, Edgar:

The Social Network
Hugely entertaining, and portrays the rise of billionaire geeks as if it were a gangster saga, with more backstabbing than poking.

Black Swan
A dark tale about what happens when you drive yourself crazy aiming for perfection. Sinister, sexual, and captivating. Great cinema in the vein of Hitchcock, Polanksi and De Palma.

Toy Story 3 
It contains the key ingredient of so many children’s classics: being utterly terrifying. The furnace sequence joins the Bambi’s mother dying, the Sorcerer’s Apprentice, and Pink Elephants on Parade in the pantheon of dark Disney greatness.

Enter the Void
A total out-of-body experience: Our druggie hero dies early on, then spends the movie floating through a neon Tokyo heaven, techno hell, and every orifice imaginable.

127 Hours
Hiker Aron Ralston was trapped in a canyon under a boulder for five days; Danny Boyle tells this true story in ninety-five amazing minutes.
