David Fincher's The Social Network or: This is why I should never pick a "Favorite Movie of the Year"



David Fincher's The Social Network is so far and away the best movie I saw from 2010 that it really makes me question why I even go to the trouble of picking a "Best Movie" of the year every year. I originally chose Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World as my favorite and, credit to me, I did state at the beginning of that piece that I hadn't seen several of the other best movie contenders that were out there. Well, now I see why I did that. The Social Network is not only my favorite movie from 2010 but I'd go so far as to say that it's one of the best movies of the last decade along with Fincher's other masterpiece, 2007's Zodiac.

Lesson learned.
