Top 10 films of the year so far...

...going purely by UK general theatrical release. If I was going by release in country of origin, this list would look quite different (and much shorter too):

  1. Toy Story 3 (USA: Lee Unkrich)
  2. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Sweden/Denmark/Germany/Norway: Niels Arden Oplev)
  3. Ponyo (Japan: Hayao Miyazaki)
  4. The Princess and the Frog (USA: John Musker, Ron Clements)
  5. The Ghost (France/Germany/UK: Roman Polanski)
  6. Amer (France/Belgium: Hélène Cattet, Bruno Forzani)
  7. Four Lions (UK: Chris Morris)
  8. The Secret of Kells (France/Belgium/Ireland: Tomm Moore)
  9. Centurion (UK: Neil Marshall)
  10. The Disappearance of Alice Creed (UK: J. Blakeson)

Expect the list to have changed quite a bit by the end of the year. Off the top of my head, I still want to see: INCEPTION, MACHETE, RESIDENT EVIL: AFTERLIFE, SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD, SHUTTER ISLAND, THE SOCIAL NETWORK, SPLICE...

I think Anchor Bay is planning on releasing a BD in the UK at some point... January, maybe?

2010 is shaping up to be another vintage year with some great films already screened this year. My highlights so far and contenders for my Top Ten of the Year are in no particular order: TOY STORY 3, INCEPTION, KICK-ASS, THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, REC 2, SHUTTER ISLAND, THE GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE and GREEN ZONE.
