Greetings, Glancers! We continue my new series of posts which will detail my favourite films of every year since 1950. Why 1950? Why 10? Why anything? Check out my original post here. As with most of these lists the numbering doesn’t really matter much, though in most cases the Number 1 will be my clear favourite. As I know there are plenty of Stats Nerds out there, I’ll add in some bonus crap at the bottom but the main purpose of these posts is to keep things short. So!
There were a lot of films I liked this year, but few, if any, I truly loved. This top ten then – not much differentiation in the ranking. Here are the almosts: Avatar. Harry Brown. Moon. District 13 Ultimatum. Up. Bruno. District 9. The Road.
10: Dead Snow (Norway) Tommy Wirkola
9: The Princess And The Frog (US) Disney
8: Micmacs (France) Jean Pierre Jeunet
7: Jennifer’s Body (US) Karyn Kusama
6: Antichrist (Denmark/France/Germany/Italy/Poland/Sweden) Lars Von Trier
5: Trick R Treat (US/Canada) Michael Dougherty
4: Triangle (UK/OZ) Christopher Smith
3: Inglourious Basterds (US/Germany) Quentin Tarantino
2: Drag Me To Hell (US) Sam Raimi
1: Orphan (US/Canada/Germany/France) Jaume Collet Serra
