Nice list. I definitely agree that Drive and Melancholia should be in the top 3. Source Code I liked, but I don't think it would make my top 3. I think I would rank Tree of Life a tad higher than 9, but it's such a hard film to compare against others. Other than that, I think I might put Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy somewhere in my top 10 as well.
There's a bunch of movies I want to see that I haven't gotten around to seeing yet though: Shame, The Artist, A Separation, Take Shelter, 13 Assassins, and We Need to Talk About Kevin among others.
