Some kind of yearly best seen favorite good attempt to get into the zeitgeisty list mood

In no particular order, and based on things I saw this year, ignoring “real” release dates:
The Kids Are All Right
Please Give
Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World
Police, Adjective
A Prophet
Exit Through the Gift Store
The Wild and Wonderful Whites
Winter’s Bone
Mystery Team
The Social Network
Crazy Stone
Collapse
Hunger
The Chaser
House of the Devil

And I watched little tv but caught a few shows via on-demand or netflix, and some were so awesome like OMG!

Damages, season 1 (Thanks for the rec, Gio!)
Louie
Party Down
Community
The Thick of It, all three seasons
