- Battle Royale, Brick and the Dawn of the Dead - still, all a tincy bit subjective ain't it. Posted on Mar 01 2010 13:23

- It's nice to see films such as All or Nothing, Saraband, O Brother Where Art Thou? and Talk to Her included. I'm surprised there is no mention of other great films such as the Dardenne's Le fils or Peter Watkins' La Commune. Posted on Dec 11 2009 09:38

- One of these lists is not like the others, one of these lists is not quite the same. One of these lists includes a film that would've been hard-pressed to make the top ten of the week when it was released. Can you guess which one it is? Posted on Dec 01 2009 13:27

- Great lists. Good to see A One and A Two... [Yi Yi] make some lists. BTW Hunger is one of the highest rated films of the last couple of years so clearly many people were affected by it. Posted on Nov 30 2009 17:29

Geoff Andrew's list is quite good. Otherwise, 2 thumbs waaaay down.
Also, Hunger is a heinous crime against humanity, I can't believe it got made, I can't believe people actually like/pretend to like it and I can't believe Steve McQueen hasn't been put out to pasture. Posted on Nov 29 2009 11:42 - Report as inappropriate

- Nice to see that Tom Huddleston has listed David Fincher's underrated "Zodiac", in my book the finest crime thriller of the decade. Posted on Nov 27 2009 22:00
