Haven't seen the others yet. There were so many gems last year: <i>The Mist, The Bank Job, [Rec]</i> and even mainstream ones like <i>Kungfu Panda</i>. It's a pity we didn't have a release of <i>The Curious Case of Benjamin Button</i> before the end of Jan though. Agree, The Escapist and Tell No One were good movies. Haven’t seen the others yet.

I also really enjoyed a bunch of other foreign/independent films including: - Tell no One - Momma's Man - The Elite Squad - The Escapist - Man on Wire One of the genuine highlights of the year for me was the conversational, almost hypnotically engaging French film “The Class”.

Love it or hate it. I did vote for these three as honorable mentions though: - <i>Burn After Reading</i> - <i>The Mist</i> - <i>Tropic Thunder</i> The only movie I voted for that didn’t make our collective Top 10 or the honorable mentions is the The Mutant Chronicles, understandable so for the extreme reactions it evoked.
