I still haven't seen all the movies I have wanted to see, such as "A Separation", "Poetry" and "Rampart". However, as things have worked out for yet another weak year at the movies, these actually are 10 films, as of today, that were a cut above everything else (which amounts to 34 movies total I actually watched this year), which I present to you in a rare non-Press Play post.
