Another 10 favourite movies of the decade

…in which the kids’ movies start to make more of an appearance. Who’d have thought, 10 years ago, this would have happened to me?

40. A Christmas Carol

(Robert Zemeckis, 2009)
Original Dickens text, a suitably scary ghost …who’d have thought it from Disney?

39. Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit

(Steve Box, Nick Park, 2005)
Utterly delightful throughout, as if we’d expected anything less

38. Inkheart

(Iain Softley, 2008)
Why didn’t they do kids’ films as good as this when we were little, eh?

37. Juno

(Jason Reitman, 2008)
Amazing characters kept you desperate to find out how they developed

36. Shrek

(Andrew Adamson, Vicky Jenson, 2001)
Seems a long time ago now, doesn’t it? Best of the series, and easy to forget how funny it was when first released

35. Billy Elliot

(Stephen Daldry, 2000)
Oddball story, beautifully played, and marvellous re-creation of the Miners’ Strike

34. Earth

(BBC Natural History Unit, 2007)
Does something shot for TV work on the big screen? Oh yes, in spades. Jaw-dropping.

33. Bowling for Columbine

(Michael Moore, 2002)
Makes you want to go and shoot someone. Oh, hang on a minute…

32. Charlie’s Angels

(McG, 2000)

Totally and utterly throwaway. How much fun was that?

31. Finding Nemo

(Andrew Stanton/Lee Unkrich, 2003)
I had to watch this many, many times on DVD. It never got boring.

Got anything to say? Go ahead and leave a comment!
