1.The American - 9/10
2.True Grit - 8/10
3.Edge of Darkness
4.The Book of Eli - 7.5-8/10
-.Unthinkable
-.Tron Legacy
-.London Boulevard
8.Machete - 7/10
it's my #1 overall year of the current decade and I think it's within my Top 5 years (or so) straight up in overall movie quality.
I guess it depends on how one defines 'great movie' as if one means 9/10 or 10/10 standard, then I would agree. but then again it's within my Top 56 movies straight up which makes it pretty great in my book

basically one area it shines is that it holds a higher level of movie quality before it drops below a certain point as you can see that it's got seven movies I score a 7.5-8/10 or higher (which makes those movies within my Top 105 movies straight up) which, if I look at things strictly on that fact, it would be my #1 year (i.e. as in volume of movies I score a 7.5-8/10 or higher in any given year) as only 2005/2006/2008 come close with each having six movies based on that standard which tend to score very strongly among all years in general. although I can say at least some years do top 2010 for me straight up overall (like 2005/2008 and possibly a bit more etc).
Edge of Darkness (Not a great movie, but I'll give it a nod for being filmed in my area)

also, ill add this... it's definitely underrated as it's easily above it's 6.6/10 average as that movie should be a easy 7.0/10+ minimum for a average on IMDb. hell, plenty of forgettable super-hero movies score into the 7.x/10 range and they can't touch Edge of Darkness in my mind.
