Default Best film this year

Hello !

Time to start a "best of..." thread. Whats the best film you have seen this year (new release in cinema or on DVD) ?

For me it has to be "The Business". Absolutely brilliant.

Dave

I've seen very little, so probably Batman Begins.

REALLY unimpressed with W&G (as were the other three I went with).

The Cave wasn't a patch on Descent Cheesy macho bull$h!t by comparison.

Tiggs, I suppose the unique style of SinCity won't be to everyones taste. To compare it to a Segal movie though

Also enjoyed "Crash". Seemed very relevant and thought provoking in the aftermath of 7/7 and other events.

Haven't seen a great deal of films this year, one of the best is definitely Madagascar. It had me laughing uncontrallably on the plane, Sacha Baron Cohen is superb

I haven't seen W&G or 40 yr old virgin but they sound like my sort of films, Anchorman was hilarious as well

Sin city was good, but not a patch on star wars "must see at the flicks" factor....


I went to see march of the penguins at the pics last night ( get me, all arty farty ), some awesome cinematography, the plot was a little predicatable though . If you are into your nature type documentaries, its well worth a watch.

BTW, I'm hoping to see King Kong soon, might change my submission if the critics are right.

Missed Star Wars , got annoyed by Sin City; could have been brilliant but just toooo slow. (Maybe I could ask webbie to delete half the features?)
