55. Moonrise Kingdom


Upon seeing the trailer for Moonrise Kingdom I thought 'standard Wes Anderson', which is great, although not unexpected.

What you actually get it is the best children's movie of the year (of 2012) that isn't really made for them, which doesn't really matter as none of them will see it. I can imagine some of the excellent young cast (Jared Gilman & Kara Hayward are particularly spectacular) of the film actually watching this thinking 'what the hell is this all about?'

Its a wonderful tale of youthful discovery with a bit of the great escape thrown in for good measure. I loved every minute of it.

33. I Heart Huckabees


I Heart Huckabees is all about two overlapping, fractured philosophy's. And it's a lot of fun, if a little messy and bewildering at times.

Jason Schwartzman is at his argumentative best in a fantastic cast that boasts a scene stealing performance from Marky Mark as a disgruntled firefighter whose had it with the world and a bubbly turn from Jude Law doing 'American'.

Naomi Watts also proves that she can look great in a bonnet and everything is delivered is a warm, sweary and comical drama that will leave feeling glad you borrowed the DVD from your friend.
