Time Out readers' films of the year

'Casino Royale', 'Volver' and 'Pan's Labyrinth' lead the way in your poll of the year.

Jan  8 2007

The votes are in, they've been counted and verified by the Time Out team, and we're delighted to announce that your films of the year are as follows:

1. 'Casino Royale'

'The makers of Bond took a supreme gamble that truly paid off and injected new life into this classic series.'
Simon Harrington

'A rough, tough Bond at last!'
Kirstie Ruston

'After all the bad press before anything had even been filmed, Daniel Craig is arguably the best Bond ever!'
Will Broadribb

2. 'Volver'

'A stylish film, beautifully set and wonderfully acted. If only all films could be this good!'
Alan Kading

'Almodovar's output deepens, widens and brightens with every new film. His best yet - which simply means that better is yet to come.'
Matt Leys

'P.Cruz's padding!'
Matty Tong

3. 'Pan's Labyrinth'

'Horrific reality and stupendous fantasy in the same film. The two storylines gel seamlessly. The only great film of the year.'
Jez Brown

'I thought it would be the usual fantastical wide-eyed child movie, but this film continually shocked me with its savagery, and the heartbreaking ending was amazing.'
Jemma Hui

'A sumptuous visual feast - a pleasure for the eyes and enough food for the mind.'
Sanjiv Sachdev

4. 'Happy Feet'

'Great singing and animation that appeals to all ages.'
Claire Mitchell

'Ppppppppppick up a penguin - good clean family fun.'
Graham Hudson

5. 'The Queen'

'A well made and balanced film that doesn't sensationalize, trivialize or gloss the six days following Diana's death. On top of that, as good a lesson in the British body politic as you're likely to find.'
Ritchie Simpson

'Fantastic acting and an interesting view of how things might have gone in the mad days after Diana's death.'
Philip Nichol

6. 'Hidden'

'Manipulative, terrifying and frustrating, the one film that everyone was still talking about months after watching it. The most exquisite example of a film 'experience' for years.'
Angus Macdonald

7. 'The Departed'

'Storyline, cast, cinematography, editing, direction etc were all amazing. I absolutely loved this film. And the dark humour was a wonderful treat to boot.'
Lara Golder

8. 'Superman Returns'

'Newcomer Brandon Routh deftly slipped into the mighty shoes of the late great Christopher Reeve and once again made you believe a man could truly fly.'
Arthur Harrington

9. 'Jarhead'

'Great take on a crazy war'
Sean Law

10. 'Borat – Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan'

'Funniest film I have seen in years'
Jo Storey
