In addition to our Best of 2010 list, DVDTalk has a few other lists spotlighting the best, and worst, of last year's film crop. High Definition junkie Thomas Spurlin has a list of The Best Blu-ray Upgrades, while Big Apple resident Jason Bailey has a list of The Best Films he saw last year. Of course, it wouldn't be a new year without movie maven Brian Orndorf's list of The Best Theatrical Releases of 2010, along with his always entertaining list of Biggest Dogs From Last Year too. Check them all out, and let's hope that 2011 is an even better year for film fans!

Looking back on it, 2010 was a pretty good year for movies, both theatrically and on home video. From big budget Hollywood flicks to foreign films and classic movies in HD, the past year saw some great releases. The DVD Talk review panel got together to pick the best of the best, and after two rounds of voting and much gnashing of teeth, here are the results. There are some surprising choices, and some truly great releases didn't quite make it, but that's what happens when you get a group of film geeks together. In any case, all of the entries are top-notch movies and TV shows that deserve a little extra time in the spotlight. Be sure to check out our Best of 2010 lists to discover if your favorite release made the list.

It's time for the last installment of Anime Talk for 2010. We don't need to mention that the Holidays are just around the corner and winter is pretty much here to stay for the next couple of months. What does all this mean? Well, I'm sure your wallets are taking a hit like ours are, but it also means that hopefully there's some downtime as well. I think you can figure out how we're going to spend our downtime: watching anime! A few titles have come our way over the past month or so and we've tackled as many as possible. We also have some manga reviewed this time around and a figure review has been included as well. WTK has also been keeping an eye on bargains aplenty, and though most of the Black Friday deals have come and gone, there are still some sweet savings out there. Read about all this and more in this month's Anime Talk!

In case you missed it, don't forget to check out the December installment of our art house film column, Taking out of frame. Christmas is coming early for fans of early cinema. Flicker Alley has a wonderful set of early Charlie Chaplin shorts, Criterion has released Modern Times, and the restored Metropolis is available on DVD and Blu-ray. Not only that, but there's an interesting documentary on actor John Cazale, the second movie adapted from Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy hits store shelves, and Lars von Trier's Antichrist has also been released. Read all about these art house releases and many more in this month's Talking Out of Frame.

This week we're featuring some of the best exclusive content that DVDTalk has published over the last few years. Lets start it off with a recent interview. Guilermo del Toro is one of the most creative directors working today. From the arthouse fare of Pan's Labrynth to the blockbuster Hellboy movies, del Toro has shown that he's versitile as well. DVDTalk writer Jack Giroux had a chance to talk with the filmmaker about his body of work, his early days as a film critic, and the recent Criterion release of his directorial debut, Cronos. Read what he had to say in this latest exclusive DVDTalk interview.
