This was the year a bunch of plastic figures gave me a lump in the throat, the biggest by far generated by all the touchy-feely films I saw. This was the year the world’s best known social misfit provided us an in into how we out ourselves on digital networks. This was also the year we discovered we could be dreaming within a dream, which, in turn, could be a dream. Toy Story 3 and The Social Network are right up there, at the top of my Hollywood movie list: both films, on the surface so dissimilar, were achingly similar — about shaping up to a future not known. Growing up is not easy, and there is never a time when you are not looking for love, whether you are a toy or human. Inception was a startlingly innovative idea, that you could be floating in free-fall in someone else’s dream, which led us straight back to that eternal question that floats out of films that make us think: what is real, what is not?Closer home, in one of the best films of 2010, Bollywood gave us a whole new way of looking.
