Brick 2006, R)
See this film! Not only a great plot that even if you can see stuff coming, still keeps you guessing, but dialogue punchier than Tarantino, and it's teenagers, in high school, and drugs/gangs, and comedy fighting/bloody fighting/murder, and a femme fetale. Vaguely Donnie Darko vs. Bugsy Malone. |

Sin City 2005, R)
Exactly how it should be |

|
| 24 |
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou 2004, R)
On a par with The Royal Tanenbaums |
|
| 25 |
Inside Man 2006, R)
Slick intelligent film that is more than just a heist movie, and Spike Lee throws modern and historical racial issues into the mix well |
|
| 26 |
The Departed 2006, R)
The best of Infernal Affairs I, II and III. Stellar cast, intriguing plot, masterful direction, snappy dialogue - the best Asian to American remake so far? |
|
| 27 |
The Illusionist 2006, PG-13)
Not quite as grand as The Prestige (it's impossible not to compare the two films), but no worse for it. Simple and sweet, as much as it borrows from Romeo & Juliet. I still have no idea why Norton is holding a glowing ball in the poster though! |

Ocean's Eleven 2001, PG-13)
Slick. |
|
| 39 |
Love Actually 2003, R)
Guilty pleasure! I'm sorry to those who didn't like it but it captures so many different types of love, and isn't a girly as say Bridget Jones. Stellar cast too. |
|
| 40 |
Austin Powers in Goldmember 2002, PG-13)
|
|
| 41 |
Hot Fuzz 2006, R)
Quite possibly the funniest Wright/Pegg/Frost/Nighy film made so far ("work it out!"). I've not laughed this much since Team America. If you like comedy, action, and/or the 'cunt-ry-side', you MUST see this. |
|
| 42 |
Notes on a Scandal 2006, R)
Cracking little TV drama - superb acting. Quick-paced and all the better for it. |
|
| 43 |
Blood Diamond 2006, R)
Cracking stuff. Politics, world culture, action, romance, and perhaps most importantly, realism/education. Superbly made and acted. |
|
| 44 |
The Last King of Scotland 2006, R)
Impressive thriller and great Whitaker performance. Cross between Hotel Rwanda and The Motorcycle Diaries (for those that need comparasons). Film Four just keep making great movies. |
|
| 45 |
Finding Nemo 2003, G)
Beautiful looking and funny enough for me to overlook the relatively simple story! |
|
| 46 |
Déjà Vu 2006, PG-13)
Slick, modern, beautifully shot, another great bit of Denzel, interesting plot... I'd like to see it again (or have I already seen it before?) ;) |
|
| 47 |
Stranger Than Fiction 2006, PG-13)
Eternal John Malkovich Of The Spotless Truman Show Adaptation! (if you like those films, you should like this) |
|
| 48 |
Romeo + Juliet 1996, PG-13)
Great film but I'm not sure about the story ;-) |
|
| 49 |
Casino Royale 2006, PG-13)
A great Bond film, but still a Bond film, so not amazingly great. |
|
| 50 |
The Prestige 2006, PG-13)
Beautifully crafted film - great cast and storytelling, though I kinda figured things out before 'The Prestige' of the film. |
|
| 51 |
Mou gaan dou (Infernal Affairs) 2002, R)
|
|
| 52 |
Children of Men 2006, R)
Incredibly realistic near-future sci-fi that could easily happen. Mainly shot with handycams yet I didn't spot the CGI/effects at any point. More to the point, an interesting prediction of the future, very well acted, the only flaw for me was the underwhelming ending |
|
| 53 |
24 Hour Party People 2002, R)
|
|
| 54 |
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (Wo hu cang long) 2003, PG-13)

|
| 55 |
A Scanner Darkly 2006, R)
Not for everyone, but I really enjoyed it. Looks amazing, of course, but an interesting near-future sci-fi story and some great performances from the four leads |
|
| 56 |
Little Miss Sunshine 2006, R)
Beautifully funny, sad and real |
|
| 57 |
Heat 1995, R)
