A glance at this year’s top box office performers may trigger a case of deep cinematic depression, suggesting a future bounded by “Transformers” sequels on one side and “Hangover” sequels on the other. But this year, I could easily have made a list of Top 20 films, including “The Artist,” “The Way,” “50/50,” “Of Gods and Men,” “In a Better World,” and the documentaries “Incendiary” and “Cave of Forgotten Dreams.” Tough cuts, all. — Ann Hornaday

10. “Win Win” Tom McCarthy’s observantly funny film about a lawyer (Paul Giamatti, left, with Alex Shaffer) driven to comically dark lengths to support his family captured the economic anxieties of the year with compassion and warmth.
