Ten years later we still don&#8217;t have a moon base \ud83d\ude41<br \/>\n2) Clue. They all did it.<br \/>\n3) A bugs life.  While the animation looks good, the texture work looks dated.<br \/>\n4) Magnum Force.  Someone thought a motorbike duel on an abandoned aircraft carrier was a good idea. (it was)<br \/>\n5) The Enforcer.  Harry just gets soft with age but i want his hairstyle.<br \/>\n6) Sudden Impact.  A film to make men wince.<br \/>\n7) Perfect Blue.  Possibly the most confusing ending to any film ever.<br \/>\n8) Beauty and the Beast.  Some early 3d work sneaking in there.<br \/>\n9) Tokyo Godfathers.  This is now officially one of the best films I&#8217;ve ever seen.<br \/>\n10) Paprika.  Visually stunning and mind bendingly weird.<br \/>\n11) Babylon 5:Legend of the Rangers.  This has to be the worst Babylon 5 tie in ever.  Badly written, obvious plot points and pointless elements.  Thank goodness this potential spinoff never happened to sully the good name of B5<br \/>\n12) The Aristocats.  More Disney classic stuff.<br \/>\n13) The Eiger Sanction.  It takes over half the film before they get to the bloody mountain.<br \/>\n14) 2010.  This whole star gazing thing is starting to affect my film watching.<br \/>\n15) Hudson Hawk.  Erm&#8230; look.  Just don&#8217;t tell anyone else that I watched this ok?<br \/>\n16) Prince Caspian.  Nearly two hours of PG rated sword fighting.<br \/>\n17) Tomorrow Never Dies.  One of the weaker Brosnon Bond films.<br \/>\n18) The world is not enough.  One of the better Brosnon Bond films.<br \/>\n19) Howls moving castle.  My fave of the Ghibli films.<br \/>\n20) Men in Black.  Still a fun film.<br \/>\n21) Ice age.  I love Scrat.<br \/>\n22) The rock.  All together now&#8230; Welcome to the rock.<br \/>\n23) Casino royale.  The original with Peter Sellars and about half of Hollywood.<br \/>\n24) The living daylights.  Dalton is an underrated Bond.<br \/>\n25) Airplane. Surely you can&#8217;t be serious?<br \/>\n26) My neighbours the Yamadas. Someone made a film about us!<br \/>\n27) Les Ma\u00eetres du temps. That brought back a few memories.<br \/>\n28) Tron.  Closely followed by&#8230;<br \/>\n29) Tron: Legacy.  Highly entertaining eye candy with plotholes the size of an MCP<br \/>\n30) The Quiller Memorandum. Why does Max Von Sydow alway play bad guys?<br \/>\n31) How to train your Dragon. Love the dragon designs.<br \/>\n32) The Expendables.  Was there anyone from the 80s who wasn&#8217;t in that film?<br \/>\n33) The dead pool.  Last of the Dirty Harry films and nothing to do with the merc with a mouth.<br \/>\n34) Revenge of the Pink Panther.  I remember that lift sequence so well from when I saw it on TV while I was about 8.<br \/>\n35) Over the Hedge.  One of the best casted films that Dreamworks did.  William Shatner as an overacting possum&#8230; Genius.<br \/>\n36) The Holcroft Covenant. While i&#8217;m sure its a good film I was put off by the nasty quality of the DVD.<br \/>\n37) My neighbour Totoro. Just like all of the other Ghibli films, loverly to watch.<br \/>\n38) Constantine. As a long time reader of Hellblazer I should hate this film but for some reason i can&#8217;t.<br \/>\n39) Kiki&#8217;s Delivery Service. Enjoyable but not my favourite Ghibli.<br \/>\n40) The Big Lebowski. Duuuuuude.<br \/>\n41) Paul. How many geek joke are in that film?<br \/>\n42) Hellboy 2. Wayne Barlowes creature design is perfect.<br \/>\n43) Astroboy. Quite nice animation but some huge noses.<br \/>\n44) Mousehunt. Not seen it in years and Christopher Walken&#8217;s small part is classic Walken.<br \/>\n45) Rango. My film of the year?<br \/>\n46) Jurassic Park. Still very enjoyable.<br \/>\n47) Igor. pfffft&#8230; its ok i suppose.<br \/>\n48) Hop. A few funny bits.<br \/>\n50) The Prestige. Moooaaare Bowie.<br \/>\n51) Jurassic Park 2. More of the same and still entertaining.<br \/>\n52) Labyrinth. Moooooooaaaaaaarrreeee Bowie.<br \/>\n53) Burke and Hare. Anyone not in that film?<br \/>\n54) Thor. Very entertaining bit of nonsense and not anything like those snotty reviews made it out to be.<br \/>\n55) Conan the Barbarian. The original Arnie movie and full of awesomeness.<br \/>\n56) X-men first class. Why the yellow DVD case?<br \/>\n57) Scott Pilgrim v&#8217;s the world. Geek game references ahoy.<br \/>\n58) True Grit. A close contender for one of my movies of the year.<br \/>\n59) Blade Runner &#8211; the final cut. How many cuts are we up to now?<br \/>\n60) Mutant Chronicles. I had to watch it again. Its not bad but its not proper MC.<br \/>\n61) Captain America. If only the Red Skull had said &#8216;Mr Anderson&#8217;<br \/>\n62) Rise of the planet of the apes. Spot the references to the originals.<br \/>\n63) Transformers 3. Please don&#8217;t let this be the last film I see in 2011<br \/>\n64) Legend of the guardian. 300 but with owls instead of nekkid men<br \/>\n65) Harry Potter 7 pt1. and also<br \/>\n66) Harry Potter 7 pt2.<br \/>\n67) Rio. Last film of 2011.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I finished the list of 2010 so thought i would carry on this fine, yet&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":5,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-853","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
