Default Films of the Year?

Well, if it's that time for music then it's that time for film. I'll have to have a proper think back to make up a top 5, but the first two that spring to mind for me have to be:

Pan's Labyrinth - I just saw this yesterday, and it is absolutely brilliant. I haven't felt so...I don't know, involved? in a film for sooooo long. Not in the way I did with this one. It just sweeps you in completely. The acting is wonderful, the leading girl doing the best job! Genuinely terrifying/scary in parts..just wonderful wonderful film!! In fact, one of the best I've seen in ages, not just this year. 10/10. I can't think of a single thing I didn't like about it.

The Departed - I loved this film. I love Scorsese, but this is him at his best in recent years. Some classic moments (the coke/hookers scene, the red, the opera), wonderful plot (although I KNOW it's a remake, Scorsese didn't when he optioned the script) and I think that Dicaprio and Damon do brilliant jobs. I'd say an 9/10, it touches on the long side, but is still brilliant.

Probably my favourite too. Others that were good:

Hidden
The wind that shakes the barley
Pierrepoint
Little Miss Sunshine
Volver

And several others I can't remember off the top of my head. A Scanner Darkly would have been on the list if it hadn't had Keanu Reeves in it.
