Another year, another… oh, couple hundred interviews in the books for the staff at Movieline HQ. It’s next to impossible to whittle this towering stack down to a manageable year-end review, but read on for a reasonable cross-section of the best, smartest, funniest and/or most candid moments from our magnanimous guests of 2010.

If you live in the Northeast, the chances are good that you’re reading this blog post from behind a wall of snow. Literally . Sunday’s snowpocalypse crippled New York, Boston and all cities in between with three-foot snow drifts, 50 mph winds and all-around treachery. Most Five Borough residents are still buried — take a look at this picture to get an idea of what things look like on the streets — but Movieline is here to remind those trapped at home that things could be a whole lot worse.

Forget No Strings Attached . How will this announcement affect Natalie Portman’s Academy Award campaign? The Black Swan star’s representatives have confirmed that the Best Actress frontrunner is engaged to, and expecting a child with, Swan choreographer Benjamin Millepied. The couple met during production on the Darren Aronofsky film — where Millepied also co-starred as Portman’s on-screen dance partner — and are expecting their child sometime in 2011. Congratulations!

I was hesitant to make a top 10 movie list this year because, really, who cares what I have to say? But then I started thinking, Yeah… who cares what I have to say? Without the title of “movie critic,” I can just choose whatever movies I want — the ones that I truly enjoyed the most — as opposed to movies that I know are technically great or that any film fan should definitely see, but may not be as emotionally pleasing to my Big 12-school-educated mind. I know that a “favorite movie list” from an Internet writer my age is supposed to include Inception and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World , it’s almost blasphemy for it not to, but mine doesn’t.

Optimism for 2011’s film culture will only get you so far. That’s the enduring lesson of IMDB’ s perennial spirit bludgeon also known as 50 Most Popular Feature Films, which, in the last week of any given year, provides as explicit a reminder as any of what Hollywood will soon shovel into multiplexes. Here’s your top 10 at the moment: Pirates of the Caribbean 4 ; Fast Five ; Transformers 3 ; Thor ; The Green Hornet ; Twilight Part 4, Part 1 ; Harry Potter Part 7, Part 2 ; Captain America ; Hanna ; and The Hangover 2 . Get me rewrite, Brooks Barnes . [ IMDB via @ebertchicago ]

You didn’t honestly think we were going to feature 12 films from Have Yourself a Movie Little Christmas without talking about this one, did you? Clarence (Henry Travers), an angel who hasn’t earned his wings, learns all about the life of George Bailey (James Stewart) so that he can help the man on the darkest night of his life. George dreamed of seeing the world, but wound up staying in his small town of Bedford Falls, N.Y., to run his father’s Building and Loan company, lest the city’s crotchety rich man Mr. Potter (Lionel Barrymore) take over everything. George falls in love with Mary (Donna Reed) and raises children with her, and under his direction, the Bailey Building and Loan builds homes for lots of working-class people in town who never thought they could afford one.

I could feed you that tired old line about Javier Bardem delivering the performance of a lifetime etc. etc. in Biutiful , but come on. Why lie? The reality is that Bardem has delivered such richly drawn, deeply layered work for years, from his role as doomed Cuban poet Reinaldo Arenas in Before Night Falls to the right-to-die proponent Ramon Sampedro in The Sea Inside and even the affectless, coin-tossing killer Anton Chigurh in No Country For Old Men — all canonical characters of the last decade, all justifiably Oscar-nominated (with the latter winning). It is fair to say Biutiful ‘s struggling, terminally ill Barcelonan eclipses them all; so when will Bardem receive the awards-season recognition he deserves?

There’s probably no good reason to read any movie critic’s Top 10 list, but lots of people — including myself — read them anyway. Let’s not be falsely modest about it: It’s an honor to be able to compile a list and to have a place, online or otherwise, to moor it. But everyone who cares about movies has his or her own private list, posted online or not, which may include some or all of the usual suspects in a given year (like The Social Network or The King’s Speech , pictures which lots of people, though not all people, seem to love) as well as a selection of fiercely protected personal favorites.
