Top Ten
El Vez 2010 Top Ten
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 [...]
Jeanie Finlay 2010 Top Ten
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 [...]
Miss D 2010 Top Ten
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 [...]
Julian Ross 2010 Top Ten
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 [...]
Alex Barrett 2010 Top Ten
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. [...]
Neil Fox 2010 Top Ten
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 [...]
Moviemaker’s 10 Podcasts Worth a Listen
Time is short, so if you had to boil all the film podcasts vying for your attention down to a perfect 10, then the 10 Podcasts Worth a Listen list in the Spring issue of Moviemaker Magazine is where I’d start. Now aside from the fact that Directors Notes has made the cut (yea us!), [...]
MarBelle 2009 Top Ten
I begin each year with the heady intention of watching a film a day. A goal I’ve so far fallen short of (187 for ’09 as of today), but if I ever do reach it God alone knows how much extra hair pulling and gnashing of teeth it’ll take to get down to this final [...]
El Vez 2009 Top Ten
Gaining a press pass for the London Film Festival this year, has almost certainly not made the task of writing an annual top ten film list any easier. After drawing up an initial list, which consisted of at least double the amount of films I needed, I’ve now completed the cull and whittled it down [...]
Miss D 2009 Top Ten
This is my third year of composing a top ten and it doesn’t get any easier. As I explained a couple of years ago, who’s to say that if I saw my number one film on another day when I wasn’t in quite such a good mood that it would still be my number one? [...]
