With Jason Solomon's Top 10 Films of 2010

Everything you need to know about London from architecture to accents and great music.

Today Jason Solomons runs through his top 10 films of 2010.

1 - The Arbor - Groundbreaking British documentary by Clio Barnard, based on the lives of the daughters of Rita, Sue and Bob Too author Andrea Dunbar. Moving, devastating, mind-changing, all in the best possible way.

2 - Father of my children - Beautiful, tender, delicately judged drama about a French film producer who leaves his young family. Everyday perfection, Eric Rohmer would have loved.

3 - Please Give - Bitterly hilarious New York satire starring indie talents Catherine Keener, Amanda Peet, Rebecca Hall, directed by Nicole "the female Woody Allen" Holofcener.

4 - The Disappearance of Alice Creed - Tight as lycra Brit thriller, with Gemma Arterton kidnapped by Eddie Marsan and Martin Compston, twisting and turning till the end.

5 - The Kreutzer Sonata - Bernard Rose made Mr Nice, but this was much fiercer, a searing examination of sex, jealousy, drugs and Beethoven in modern LA.

6 - Whip It - Drew Barrymore proved a spry director in this funny, sexy hip chick flick about roller derby in Austin, Texas.

7 - Sons of Cuba - Brit film maker Andrew Lang gained access into the boxing academies of Castro's Cuba and discovers "little soldiers of the revolution".

8 - White Material - Superb performance from Isabelle Huppert in a post-colonial, coffee masterpiece by French artist Claire Denis.

9 - Catfish - Unsettling doc about New York boys on the trail of a Facebook love sting.

10 - LA Danse - Fred Wiseman directs fascinating insight to the workings of the famed Ballet corps of Paris' Opera House.
