Paid Members Nexus Posted January 27, 2012 Paid Members Posted January 27, 2012 It was shown in independent cinemas mainly. I saw it in a special showing with Chris Morris and the cast giving an interview afterwards. It's so funny and all the different characters are really good. I can't recommend it enough. So glad it made the top 50.
Loki Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 This list is going to get weird, I'm starting to realise. Excellent film, good directorial debut, very funny. One of the Top 30 Films ever? Better UK film than Shane Meadows' works? I've got a horror that due to a quirk Sabrina is going to end up in the Top 10.
Paid Members Burchill's Buddy Posted January 27, 2012 Paid Members Posted January 27, 2012 Yeah, it showed at the arts cinema in Cambridge but none of the major ones, which is why I have never bothered with any of he monthly passes that Cineworld or Vue do. They'd rather have 4 screens showing 3 different variations of Twilight (which is a rant for another day)

Loki Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 I know, I know. Well, it's either or both. Or something.
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted January 27, 2012 Author Paid Members Posted January 27, 2012 I've got a horror that due to a quirk Sabrina is going to end up in the Top 10. Wait until you see what's number one!
Mr. Seven Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 I hate the "it's not best, it's favourite" defence, as if most people sending in lists would bother to note the difference.
Paid Members Halitosis Romantic Posted January 27, 2012 Paid Members Posted January 27, 2012 Citizen Kane is heaps better than Roadhouse, but...
Paid Members Daaaaaad! Posted January 27, 2012 Paid Members Posted January 27, 2012 I hate the "it's not best, it's favourite" defence, as if most people sending in lists would bother to note the difference. I certainly did. In Bruges is definitely not the 'best' film I've ever seen, but it's my favourite.
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted January 27, 2012 Moderators Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) I just wouldn't have bothered sending a list at all if it had been "best". Edited January 27, 2012 by Chest Rockwell
Paid Members PunkStep Posted January 27, 2012 Paid Members Posted January 27, 2012 Exactly, otherwise we may as well not bother and just post a thread titled 'Citizen Kane is the best' and be done with it. I think its nice and refreshing to see these (like Ian's favourite wrestler list), as it shows which films have an affectionate hold over those on here. Plus, if it were a best film list people might come up with a list of films they may not enjoy, but are critically acclaimed, to avoid any elitist comments thrown their way. You can't scoff at what people enjoy though, you like what you like. I'll put my list up at the end like others are going to.
Paid Members FLips Posted January 27, 2012 Paid Members Posted January 27, 2012 It's fairly obvious now that my top film won't appear on the list, but a few of my others might.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted January 27, 2012 Moderators Posted January 27, 2012 The Brave Little Toaster was his number 1.
Paid Members PunkStep Posted January 27, 2012 Paid Members Posted January 27, 2012 In that case I wouldn't be so defeatist TripleA, there's still time for an appearance in this chart.
