If you have not grown weary of our Top 10 coverage (and, really, how could you?), We’ve decided to give our truly epic Top 10 of 2010 the “handy aggregation” treatment. Do you not have time to read all of our thoughtful reasons and clever wrap-ups? Do you just want to know what the overall most popular films were in the GATW sea? Have I got some information for you!

After the break, I keep it as simple as I possibly can – each film that appeared in our respective Top 10s (including our honorable mentions because, hey, I’m feeling generous!) will be listed with one number after it – one little number that indicates how many lists that film appeared on. This year, we made a total of 18 lists (including our Editors’ picks, our Critics’ picks, our Newsies’ picks, and our Coding Ninja’s Top 10 Movies Out of 17 He Saw This Year), on which a staggering 93 films appeared. The higher the number that appears next to each film title, the more Whalers liked it, and the more we can assure you that you will like it, too. What are you waiting for? Hit that break!
