68) Moonrise Kingdom
I’m a huge Wes Anderson fan, but was a bit worried this would be a bit samey. Was skeptical in the beginning half hour, but then it completely won me over. Such a cute movie.

67) Snow White and the Huntsman
Absolutely loved it. Really dark, but it wasn’t overwhelming. Was kind of worried about the long running time, but it didn’t drag.

66) The Raid
Let me start off by saying that I would never have gone to see this film of my own accord, as I had heard nothing about it, and even looking up the trailer, wasn’t all that interested. But I was told to go see it, and it was bloody brilliant. I was the only girl in the screen, but that doesn’t mean girls won’t enjoy it. The fight scenes are unlike anything I’ve ever seen...

65) Jeff, Who Lives at Home
I would watch Segel bloody do ANYTHING, so had to go see it. I liked it, I guess. I was really bored about halfway through, but liked what it was trying to do. And, as someone who sees signs in things all the time, I could relate, so there was that. The ending is really good. Definitely worth a watch. Don’t like seeing Ed Helms play bad guys though. TUNA!

64) The Dictator
I’ve marked this as being above Bruno, but below Borat. Liked that he actually had a storyline with this one, and the scene in the helicopter actually had me in stitches. But now that I’ve seen it, I won’t need to see it again.

63) American Pie
Another movie that got absolutely slated, but I loved it. Laughed just as much as I did at the older ones. I felt that although the comedy was still the same, it felt a bit more mature, like these were things that could genuinely happen to us now we’re older, just like the first three did when I was younger. Except for the pie. As far as I know, that has never happened to anyone I know.

62) Silent House
I absolutely loved it. It is presented as being an 88 minute long single-take film, and I’d be very interested to find out how many takes it was actually shot in. Because there is no break in concentration, the intensity builds so fast that I found myself actually feeling a bit sick with anxiety about half way through. Rotten Tomatoes slated it, and whilst I do agree that there was very...

61) Cabin in the Woods
Wasn’t really sure how I felt about it. I was somewhere between underwhelmed and average whelmed. I loved the idea, but as my friend pointed out, it’s not as clever as it thinks it is. I don’t think it should really be advertised as a horror film, either. I’m not really sure I (or the creators) know what it was meant to be. But in saying that, I still enjoyed it, so what do...

60) The Avengers
Yeah, don’t really need to say how great it is, because most people already know. Whedon, you’re a genius. Thank you for giving us a comic book adaptation that is worthy of the hype.

59) This Is England
No idea why I haven’t seen this film before. I think I was expecting it to be terrible, but I absolutely loved it. Watched the movie, 86 and 88 in the space of a couple of days.
