Best Picture
1 – There Will Be Blood
A film whose ambition and execution dwarfs 90% of what American cinema has produced in the past decade
2 – No Country For Old Men
This is simply a flawlessly crafted picture at every level
3 – 4 Months, 3 weeks, 2 Days
4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days is a stunning work; it is filmmaking stripped to the basics and yet it manages to be as gut-wrenchingly gripping as any thriller
4 – The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
One of the year's most uplifting and exhilarating cinematic experiences
5 – Man On Wire
One of the most gripping, emotionally involving films of the year
6 – Gomorrah
Rarely has a single film provided such a vivid and engrossing portrait of an organised crime network
7 – Persepolis
Persepolis is a totally unique cinematic experience
8 – The Silence of Lorna
This is ultimately another rich and nuanced character study from two of the most valuable filmmakers in world cinema
9 – Hunger
There's something special going on in almost every scene
10 – Taxi to The Darkside
An alarming and gripping piece of filmmaking

Worst Picture
1 – Blindness
If the ghastly cinematography doesn't drive you from the cinema, then perhaps the crushingly unsubtle allegory will
2 – Rambo
It's jaw-dropping in its tastelessness
3 – Three And Out
A depressingly lame British picture that completely fails to capitalise on the meagre potential of its premise
4 – The Happening
The Happening is an indefensibly stupid film in every single way
5 – Righteous Kill
The whole movie just feels like straight-to-DVD junk
6 – Cassandra's Dream
The fact that Allen has signed this package off as being fit for release suggests a filmmaker bored by his own work
7 – Charlie Bartlett
Charlie Bartlett is stupid, derivative and empty
8 – Never Back Down
A soulless experience
9 – Savage Grace
At times the film became so boring I genuinely began to fear for my sanity
10 – Zack And Miri Make A Porno
Shabby, unimaginative and juvenile
