Ticket readers have been nominating their films of the year on our Screenwriter blog. Here’s what you said...
Coco before Chanel– just a gorgeous production. Made me realise that we shouldn't just slavishly worship these icons. Thoughtful and said a lot about the times she lived in without dumbing it down. – Aisling
The Secret of Kellsgets my nod for best Irish film by a mile and I think maybe my film of the year. Absolutely beautiful film, I could lap it up all day. – Major Alfonso
Inglourious Basterds:Brilliantly convulsive film-making. May seem superficial and decadent, however there is a serious engagement with ideas there underneath all of its surfaces. Granted, that may not be Mr Tarantino's intention, but I was gripped, despite and because of its flaws. – Nam Citsale
Turkey of the Year:Inglourious Basterds (abysmal shite, in my opinion) – Noise Annoys
(500) Days of Summerwas pretty damn terrible, hinging, as it did, on the thesis that listening to British rock from the eighties makes you a very interesting person in itself. – Andrew
Worst film has to be Land of the Lost, for sheer inanity. Though Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen wins most of the bad awards, such as "Most racist", "Biggest plot holes" and "Most pretentious title". – David Neary
Worst film: Harry Brown. Dear God that was atrocious. Fascist film-making at its worst. It was like Lord of the Rings set in a housing estate. Biggest Disappointment: The Invention of Lying – this (nearly) killed Ricky Gervais for me. Overly-sentimental (he just wouldn't stop welling up every 10 minutes) and a concept that got old as soon as the opening credits finished rolling. Actually it was pretty much past its sell-by date as soon as the trailer finished. – Niallo
