56. Cemetery Junction

 

Cemetery Junction is the best film John Hughes didn't make. It's also the most 'ungervais' movie Ricky Gervais will make. By that I mean it lacks acerbic, nasty and sometimes hilariously cruel humour he can dish out for a more positive and sunny outlook on the proceedings.

This is to his and the films credit as it is a beautifully entertaining comedy that is both very, very funny, nicely observed and all warm and fluffy with it.

50. Skyfall

Fifty Years of Bond and it all leads to number 50 on the blog and Skyfall. Can the series pick up from the pretty abysmal Quantum of Solace? Well yes, it does but after that movie, the only way is up.

It's a good solid Bond from start to finish and certainly Shit Bond's best. Not the greatest Bond (Man With Golden Gun, Goldeneye or Goldfinger for me) but very much a return to form with all the ingredients present and correct for a top quality caper.

I would say the only thing it lacks is a full on Bond girl - but the fan boy lip service is all very well received, especially when the DB5 makes an appearance...

Once they get the wise cracks back in, the series will be pretty much back to its best!
