HanoiVillan Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) In total saw approx. 31 movies with UK release dates, as far as I can tell, and the only one I really didn't enjoy was Saint-Omer (really boring). A very good year of cinema! Top 10 in countdown-stylee were: 10) How to Blow Up a Pipeline 9) Anatomy of a Fall 8 ) The Boy & The Heron 7) All the Beauty & The Bloodshed 6) Napoleon 5) Godland 4) May December 3) Killers of the Flower Moon 2) Past Lives 1) Oppenheimer Particularly honourable mentions to 'All Quiet on the Western Front', 'How to Have Sex' and 'Rye Lane', which were all on the edge of the top 10. Some alternative awards too: The Aaron Eckhart award for Movie Science: Meg 2: The Trench, in which the baddies are doing a deep-sea mining operation out of some shipping containers at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, and while investigating them Jason Statham swims around without any protective equipment. Brilliant. The Chris Cooper award for Effortlessly Lifting a Fairly Shit Movies with a Brilliant Performance: shared between Till (Danielle Deadwyler) and Operation Fortune (Hugh Grant), very different movies both of which had little to love apart from those actors. In the case of the latter one, it's particularly embarrassing how much better he was than literally everything else happening. The 'I've Been There!' award for Recognising Birmingham On Screen: Mission Impossible 7, in which Grand Central semi-plausibly doubles as Abu Dhabi airport. EDIT: Actually realise I missed 'Return to Seoul' from the main list so imagine that somewhere near the bottom of the top 10.

You seem to have made a mistake here and missed off paw patrol super pups Unfortunately the only film I saw at the cinema this year, my daughters first ever cinema trip, and I watched it in German and understood maybe 20% of it... Speaks to the er quality of the film that I didn't understand it but still loved it... but seriously it's pretty good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, I had the pleasure of watching the first paw patrol movie the other year. Essentially three episodes stuck together with the ever irritating Chase having a somewhat forced character arc that strained credibility. *to give an idea of how far we’ve moved on, for her upcoming birthday I tentatively investigated the possibility of taking her and her friends to see Mean Girls the musical. This idea was soon dismissed when I watched the trailer and saw John Ham seemingly making a reference about choking a partner during sex. I’d like to think we’re still closer to the annoying Ryder and his equally irritating pups than we are there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the law patrol films almost purely for the insane jump in quality The 2nd one has the same story arc bollocks but with skye Sat watching toy story 4 with the 3 year old hoping for big things next year with TS5 and frozen 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
