Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2010: Sofia Coppola’s Somewhere

With this, Coppola confirms her fascination for living spaces and perhaps fills us in on a social scene that isn't accessible. The reason why we love this director is for her ability to integrate modern soundtracks within the tonality of her films and her exploration of the search of self themes are far from boring.

Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2010: Abbas Kiarostami’s Certified Copy

For a while now, Kiarostami's contribution to the world cinema scene has been limited to philanthropy and little seen docs and shorts -- this film represents a new direction for the filmmaker as its the first film shot outside of his homeland, and the discourse will be a lot less politicized.

Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2010: Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan

While The Fountain is one that is up for debate, Aronofsky can tackle all genres and all stories and even switch up the look of the film and he'll usually get it right - he is also someone who gave instant cred to the Wayans name, reminded us that Ellen Burstyn needs more work and resuscitated Mickey Rourke's career.

The characters in Mike Leigh's films linger on several hours after viewing - its a testament to a directing style that brings out the best of the actor and that never gets old.

Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2010: Bruce Robinson’s The Rum Diary

The combo of Depp, the novel on which this film is based on, and the guy who made cult film Withnail & I is enough for me to be psyched for Robinson's long gestating project (Depps was throwing hints at us way back when he was filming 2003's Secret Window).
