Top 10 Films of the Year

I decided to post my Top 10 films of the year. It's always difficult comparing films that are often from completely different genres (e.g. Cold Mountain vs Shrek 2), but in general the films picked themselves. There are of course some fine movies outside the top 10 (Man on Fire, Spider-man 2, The Village etc), but they can't all make the final list.

It was an interesting year for films, with 3 very good documentaries featuring highly (Super Size Me, Fahrenheit 9/11 and Touching the Void). It was also a good year in that the majority of the top 25 weren't dominated by CGI effects (I, Robot and Spider-man 2 being the obvious exceptions). All of the top 10 feature films had good characterisation, and good pace, and most importantly a good script. So here it is:

1. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
2. 21 Grams
3. The Incredibles
4. Finding Neverland
5. Lost in Translation
6. Collateral
7. Shaun of the Dead
8. Touching the Void
9. Super Size Me
10. The Last Samurai
