OK, so here it is the list of the best films of 2010. I say ‘the list’ because obviously my selection isn’t subjective, it’s just cold, hard fact. I still had my usual cry about the ones I had to miss off; Lemmy, Justice: A Cross the Universe, Sons of Cuba, The Freebie, and as [...]
One look at our homepage at the moment will tell you that around the time of one year coming to an end and another year starting (or “New Year” as you may know it in a lot simpler & shorter terms!) , we’re all about the lists at DN. Our end of the year lists [...]

I think my New Years resolution for 2011 will be to document every film I watch, I’ve compiled this list with the niggling feeling I’ve left something quite special out. Although I’ve attended Birds Eye View, Underwire and the London Film Festival this year, there are still several films I feel ashamed of not having [...]
2010 was the first year in a long time I attended no film festivals at all, add to that the fact I changed jobs and moved 100 miles and it’s probably not surprising I didn’t get to see as many films as I wanted this year. Most of my film watching came on scattered visits [...]
It’s that time of year again and this year MarBelle has laid down some very strict ground rules. Only ten films (hard), in order of favour and only films made or released this year (positively mean). That means I can’t mention one of the best films I saw this year – Wake in Fright an [...]
I’m not going to rant this year about ordering my top ten because everyone knows how much I hate it. I’m going to get angry about something else instead and that is the fact that I can’t include Fantastic Mr Fox as although I saw it for the first time earlier this year, it was [...]
My best-of-the-year list for DN, alongside my top ten Japanese films of 2010 for Midnight Eye, are my first submissions of best-of lists for any publication. I usually browse the internet at this time of the year, searching for other peoples’ lists to compare with mine, and I always get frustrated that most entries seemed [...]
2010 has been a great year for me in many ways, but unfortunately film watching has not been one of those ways. Even more than usual I feel like I’ve missed so many of the films people are talking about, and of what I have seen there’s been very little that has really excited me. [...]
Each year they say that it’s not a vintage year, but I don’t. And this year is no different. It was hard to get it down to twelve for my dirty dozen, let alone ten for DN, with many more films worthy of a place. And this year, they are actually ranked in order. Bring [...]
