Happy Face 29 Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 The serious critics top-ten (as in, not Jonathan Ross or his brother). I've only seen 4 of them but I'm glad to see The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada in there. 1 Hidden 2 Volver =3 The Departed =3 The Queen =3 Red Road =3 The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada =7 Climates =7 The New World =7 United 93 =7 Pan's Labyrinth http://www.bfi.org.uk/sightandsound/feature/49348 http://www.bfi.org.uk/sightandsound/feature/49351/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 2 Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 I doubt I've seen ten new films this year, my top 4 would be The Prestige The Departed United 93 I Walk the Line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 31340 Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 I've seen two out of that 10 and didn't really like either of them. Perhaps I just haven't got what it takes to be a critic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 2 Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Forgot about V for Vendetta, I really liked that. Despite having to be dragged kicking and screaming to see the steaming turd that was the Da Vinci Code, I thought it was a good film, as it improved on the hilariously awful book it was based on. I'm chuckling now though at the thought of Tom Hanks' crypto-vision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7257 Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 You see, i thought V for Vendetta should have been called S for Shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 You see, i thought V for Vendetta should have been called S for Shite. I've still to see Casino Royale. Quite a few people seem to be raving about it, but I'm still stubborn because I dislike Daniel Craig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally 0 Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 The Prestige is the best film i've seen this year, really enjoyed it. Thought the Departed was ok, nothing more/less. My mate came out saying it was the best gangster film of all time, utter rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walliver 0 Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 I wasn't very impressed by The Departed or Casino Royale. Best film of the year was Curious George. Second best was Dead Or Alive. Thank You For Not Smoking and The Producers were also very good. No one's mentioned Alien Autopsy yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 11021 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 what were the films last night, where'd it get up to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 what were the films last night, where'd it get up to? Up to the end of the disaster, the place is devasted and the majotrity of inhabitants have been dispersed around the US. Part one was the personal stories of the hurricaine and it's aftermath. Part 2 is more about the politics, who's to blame, Why so little was done to prevent it or sort it etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
