We have to say it's been a decidely mediocre year for films after last year's high (two bona fide classics in one year - No Country For Old Men, There Will Be Blood plus a host of other top films). This year has been a little lighter on classics though who knows what time will do to some of these movies.
So here is our list of the top movies of the year. And by 'our' I mean one watchmen's top movies of the year. And by 'top' we mean favourite. And by 'of the year' we mean of the one's we've seen. Enough of the clarifications. Here goes:
1. Let The Right One in
2. Anvil
3. The Wrestler
4. Up
5. A Serious Man
As is our tradition (going back all the way to last year) we see no reason to number beyond the top 5. So in no particular order, the rest of the top 10 is...
- Adventureland
- The Informant
- Slumdog Millionaire
- The Hangover
- The Cove
Honourable mentions: Star Trek, Fantastic Mr Fox, District 9, An Education, Encounters At The End Of The World. Away We Go
And 2 more fundamentally flawed films that still hit a nice nerve: 500 Days of Summer and Funny People.
And still 2 more films that we caught at festivals this year that would easily be in our top 10 if they had been released (but look out for them in 2010): His & Hers, The Eclipse.
Stay tuned for our top movies of the decade.
