My God Mark Kermode is my favourite film reviewer, so knowledgeable but not cynical in the slightest. There's this passion in every new review, as if he just discovered movies. I so connect to this
You wouldn't rate Jack & Jill so highly if you'd seen "That's my Boy". "As inspired as it is nuanced, 'That's my Boy' is the closest thing we'll ever see to celluloid transcendence." - The Guardian.
I saw the #1 movie in my hometown of Liverpool. and we all broke down and hugged each other. I was on a rare visit home as I live overseas now, and I brought my wife. and even she was beside herself. what an absolute surprise to see that movie being recognized when theres marvel everywhere
Love it! Here's my list (at the moment) 1. Let the Right One In (2008) 2. Kill List (2011) 3. Under the Skin (2013) 4. Where You're Meant to Be (2016) 5. Holy Motors (2012) 6. Ex Machina (2014) 7. A Field in England (2013) 8. The Babadook (2014) 9. In Bruges (2008) 10. Berberian Sound Studio (2012)
Thanks for putting unpredictable movies in the chart. I now look forward to watching some of these that I haven't ever heard of. I also like that you recognise these are personal choices to you and don't bow to the most popular choices; I guess all movies are deeply personal in a way, even blockbusters like inception! - they will only effect you depending on what you've been through in your life to get there.
I've only seen Moonlight out of these , but I'll be seeking the other four very soon. I don't always agree with kermode , but that's why I watch his reviews . He Always gives me a different perspective, and something to think about
I actually burst into tears when you said that your number one is 'Of Time and the City', such was the effect it had on me when I saw it at the cinema. Just as 'Distant Voices, Still Lives' did 30 years ago. Such a pleasure to see my favourite director at the top of the list, where he fully deserves to be ❤
I just wanted to say that I’m so glad that I came across this blog. Mark has not only introduced me to a whole world of cinema, but also showed me that film can be much more than just a 90min romp at the box office. So thank you for this blog, I’m sad it is ending but the films that have been recommended will stay with me for my whole life. Thank you Mark!!!
I figured his list would go 10) Pimp with Danny Dyer 9) Jack and Jill 8) Enterauge 7) Rockenrolla 6) Death Proof 5) Sex and the City 2 4) Little Man 3) Human Centiped 10 2) Transfromers 16 Give Michel Bay more money 1) Pirates of the Caribbean 28: Orlando Bland leaves Ikea Knightly for Pinnico because he's less wooden and Johnny Dep falls over
My own top 10 which was hard to do and will no doubt change if I do this list again in a few hours so I’m just gonna leave it at that... 1. Blade Runner 2049 2. Moonlight 3. Drive 4. Mad Max: Fury Road 5. Under the Skin 6. The Wailing 7. The Red Turtle 8. In Bruges 9. The Handmaiden 10. Her
I love Under the Skin so much, it's without a doubt my favourite of the last ten years - and if it wasn't for Adaptation or Irréversible it would be my favourite of the century so far.
RAW! I was totally mesmerised by it in the cinema. Not a huge horror fan but I loved the fact it made me squirm in the cinema and was genuinely hard to watch. Loved it, glad it's in your top 5.
I dunno if I could narrow a list down to the 10 best films of the last 10 years or so, but I can say without reservation that my favorite film was one I was introduced to through your channel, Mark. Before I reveal it, I just have this to say: The more films you see the more you tend to become a bit, to use the term in a mediocre way, jaded. You see the seams, the patches, the little itty bits that incrementally unravel whatever engagement a film builds. The great films suffer the least from this, appearing often as seamless, and continue to engage me well after I leave the theater. The worst never manage a moment's engagement, like Bucky Larson or Disaster Movie... All this is to say that when a pleasant surprise in the form of a great film comes along, like what would come to be my favorite of the last 10 years, A Royal Affair, I can't help but feel a bit indebted to the man that introduced us. Especially as that man has given so much otherwise. Kermode Uncut's absence will leave a hole not easily filled, as like the great films, you've engaged me as so many others with your passion, wit, generosity, knowledge, humanity, and accessibility. Thank you.
I would say Boyhood is my favourite movie of the last 10 years. Just the undertaking of making a film over twelve years that uses the same cast is an incredible achievement. It is powerful thought proking and quite simply, incredible.
I think I've only seen 4 of these and 3 of those (Baba, Twelve and Kevin) I wouldn't rate as masterpieces. However, I'd forgotten how brilliant and poetic I thought 'Of Time and the City' was when I watched it. That really is a masterpiece.
My personal list reads: 10. Carol 9. The Handmaiden 8. In This Corner of the World 7. Wall•E 6. Birdman 5. Inglourious Bastards 4. Boy and the World 3. Wild Tales 2. Roma 1. Moonlight
Great list, with some great choices - and I guess I'll share mine too... 10. The Death of Stalin 9. Anomalisa 8. In Bruges 7. Joe 6. A Serious Man 5. The Lobster 4. Enter the Void 3. Her 2. Bad Genius 1. Under the Skin If I could've picked movies from 2007 I definitely would have chosen Children of Men and No Country for Old Men, and they both probably would have been in the top 5.
In This Corner of the World is beautiful. Everyone always says how Grave of the Fireflies is one of the most heartbreaking films ever, but it just feels so cold and distant. Meanwhile, In This Corner of the World deals with a very similar subject matter and it has so much more heart. I love the music in it as well. My favourite film of the last ten years has to be Mad Max: Fury Road. I think it could well be the greatest action movie ever.
@@DysnomiaFilms I'm aware. Linklater represents time in cinema like no one I've ever seen. It's funny to go back and watch before sunrise and see Ethan Hawkes character describe some of his crazy ideas for 24 hour TV shows and realism, and then you realize that that's literally what Linklater has done his entire career. How these seemingly crazy concepts aren't just concepts to Linklater, he actually goes out and does them. One of the best directors of his generation.
Horrible list right here there Mark. Here bee my top ten: 10: Transformers (All of them) 9: Avengers (All of them) 7: Twilight (Some of them) 6: Red Dead Redemption II 5: Batman Vs Superman (the best bit) 4: Home Alone 4 C: Gotti () 2: Raw (Jokes it’s acc Transformers ) 8: Penguins of Madagascar 1: I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here Smash like if you agree.
PS4 Games on a shelf if I had a top twenty believe me they would feature in the top twenty list they would feature in the list they would feature in it
Wow. I thought I was the only person to have been deeply effected by Of Time And The City. I had no idea it was MK's top film of the last 10 years. I feel so validated! I thought I was alone in thinking this little BFI DVD I took a chance on buying was the best thing I'd seen in years - and all because I'm from Liverpool, left it 35 years ago and fancied looking into the history of my birthplace. A masterpiece.
You're certainly not the only one. I cried so many times while I was watching it and I've no idea why. And I'm not even from Liverpool! It's the Terence Davies magic. I've no idea how he does it.
My list in no particular order: The Man From Nowhere, Train to Busan, The Chaser, The Grey, The Handmaiden, Inception, My Annoying Brother, Interstellar, Logan, The Hateful Eight, The Wailing, The Revenant
My top 10: 10. Lucky 9. Mustang 8. Personal Shopper 7. A Silent Voice 6. Your Name 5. The Handmaiden 4. Short Term 12 3. Drive 2. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly 1. Wolf Children Loved all your picks though, and thank you for all the movies I discovered through your recommendations. And happy 27th wedding anniversary! It’s my parents’ Linda and Frank Kitchen’s 27th wedding anniversary today too!
If we're not including 2007 films, my top 10 would be: 1. Moonlight (2016) 2. Call Me By Your Name (2017) 3. Her (2013) 4. Inside Llewyn Davis (2013) 5. Boyhood (2014) 6. The Master (2012) 7. Scott Pilgrim vs The World (2010) 8. Phantom Thread (2017) 9. 13th (2016) 10. Shutter Island (2010) Honourable Mentions: Embrace of the Serpent, Frances Ha, La La Land, Under the Skin, more that I can't remember
I'm suprised that he didn't think that Call me by my name should be on his list I know it is on mine.. beautiful movie brilliant cinematography excellent acting too.
Anyone sad at the end of Kermode Uncut should be aware, if you're not already, that he recently started a Kermode on Film podcast, which is like an hour-long Kermode Uncut with interviews and in-depth segments and is as great as you'd expect.
1. Dolomite is my name, 2. Mad Max Fury Road, 3. Inception, 4, Your name, 5. Toy Story 3, 6Get Out, 7. John Wick Three, 8. District 9, 10. Under the Skin. Cheers Mr Uncut.
Thanks for the tips, also the option to have a go! Here's mine: (limited to top 5 on account I'm a more casual film lover) 5. Sully 4. Ladybird 3. Manchester by the Sea 2. Call me by your name 1. La La Land Interestingly, we have no overlaps! I have a lot of yours to see though... Good luck with next projects.
My 10 Favorites: 10. Amour 9. Whiplash 8. mother! 7. Dogtooth 6. Shame 5. The Lobster 4. The White Ribbon 3. The Killing of a Sacred Deer 2. Inside Llewyn Davis 1. The Favourite
I did my list of my ten on the previous video but I've actually seen Alfonso Cuaron's Roma since then & ,wow, it would now be a shoe-in to make my top ten. On a technical level it's an incredible achievement, not to mention that I litterally cried at the beach scene at the end, the emotions of the journey that movie had taken me on overwhelmed me by that point. I can honestly say that whilst I've been close before, no other film has ever brought me to tears until last week watching Roma.
You not rate revenant technically? Considering it's not fantasy or sci-fi I think someone from 20 years ago would be blown away...I was so impressed watching that in the cinema....I feel the cold and damp
Yeah, Roma was extraordinary. Such a mindblowing experience that left me speechless and completely still for about 20 minutes after the credits. Kudos to Alfonso.
@@dagnut Yeah, I loved The Revenant. Didn't quite make my top ten though when I worked it out but it would be in my top 20 of the last 10 years. Hope you enjoy Roma as much as I did. 👍
My list 1) Twin Peaks The Return 2) The Master 3) Mad Max Fury Road 4) Boyhood 5) Holy Motors 6) The Social Network 7) The Grand Budapest Hotel 8) The Assassin 9) The Act Of Killing 10) Blade Runner 2049
Whiplash The tale of princess Kaguya (over the Red Turtle) Embrace of the Serpent A Monster Calls The Master Hereditary Blade Runner 2049 Under the Skin Scott Pilgrim and Persepolis (tie) Mother! and The Black Swan (tie) Iv'e not seen The Handmaiden or Phantom Thread yet but I'm sure they'd be contenders if I did along with a lot of others mentioned. I saw Girlhood and it was affecting sure, but top ten. Its personal. A lot of people on here have very similar tastes and I'm actually delighted at people's top ten. 95% are deservedly mentioned
Great list! Here's mine: 10. The Tree of Life 9. The Revenant 8. Drive 7. Inside Out 6. Whiplash 5. The Social Network 4. La La Land 3. Interstellar 2. The Dark Knight 1. Blade Runner 2049
12 Years A Slave would top my list, no hesitation. Then again, I haven't seen many of the films in your top ten, not even Moonlight yet. Must remedy that. I'm especially intrigued by The Red Turtle and Girlhood. Interesting that so many disturbing films hit your list. We Need To Talk About Kevin, for example, so thoroughly unnerved me that I don't think I'll ever watch it again. Still, great list and I'm sorry to see Kermode Uncut come to an end. Thanks for making content of such high quality.
I love love love that Of Time And The City tops the list. Talk about revitalising a genre. City Symphonies are beautiful but have been a dead genre for longer than almost everyone watching this video has been alive. Some of the most important films of all time were city symphonies and Of Time And The City tops basically all of them. Not my favourite of the last decade but a really beautiful film that deserves more eyes.
My favourite 10: 10. Zama 9. Act of Killing 8. Court 7. Still Walking 6. Tabu 5. Timbuktu 4. Son of Saul 3. The White Ribbon 2. Winter Sleep 1. Once Upon a Time in Anatolia
Once upon a Time in Anatolia is that good? I watch Winter Sleep and it's was ok but i didnt feel identified with the movie in a deep level, i need to see this but i am not sure about it
Some that come to mind for me in no particular order The Master Her Good Time Moonlight Gone Girl Black Swan Drive Blade Runner 2049 Enemy Phantom Thread Suspiria (yes I know it hasn't been out long)
Here's my List for the best movies of the last 10 Years (2009-2018) in no particular order - A Ghost Story Manchester by the Sea Spotlight Looper Up Argo The Grey Crazy Heart Gravity Never let me go and few (very difficult to leave) Honorable Mentions - Mad Max: Fury Road First Man Birdman Dunkirk The Revenant 50/50 True Grit
My personal 10: Honourable mentions: Interstellar, Room, The Hunt (Danish), Manchester By The Sea, The Nice Guys, It Follows, The Reader, Short Term 12, Drive 10) 12 Years A Slave 9) The Revenant 8) Inglorious Basterds 7) Revolutionary Road 6) Ex Machina 5) Inside Llewyn Davis 4) The Dark Knight 3) Inception 2) Moonlight 1) The Place Beyond The Pines
I haven't seen any of the top 10 and haven't heard of four of them and have no desire to see any of them. But Kermode is still the best reviewer working today.
Gr8 list Kermode My top 10 movies are. Her Whiplash Spider-Man into the spider verse Ex machina Cabin in the Woods Me Earl and the dying girl Logan Captain America Civil War Chronicle Perks of Being a Wallflower
My top 10 from the last 10 years starts off with a clear top two: 1. Your Name/Kimi no Na wa (undisputed favourite, absolutely magical film that I can watch over and over and still enjoy like the first time); 2. The Dark Knight (gripping storyline packed with great performances across the board). Those are followed by, in no particular order: - Social Network - Captain America: Winter Soldier - Hunt For The Wilderpeople - Mission Impossible: Fallout - Logan - The Big Short - Thor: Ragnarok - The Raid
my personal top 10 from the last decade 1. Call Me By Your Name 2. Black Swan 3. Birdman 4. Gone Girl 5. The Assassination of Jesse James 6. Children of Men 7. mother! 8. The Social Network 9. The Master 10. The Tree of Life
My list 1. Moonlight 2. What we do in the Shadows 3. Her 4. A girl walks home alone at night 5. Timbuktu 6. Interstellar 7. A bigger splash 8. Django 9. The lobster 10. Inherent vice
My personal favourite, maybe whatever happened to my life made me remembered this movies: Mad max fury road. Room Arrival Inside out Kick ass Blue valentine Hereditary The raid 2
Interesting. In chronological order only, I'd go with: Låt den rätte komma in [Let the Right One In] (2008) d: Tomas Alfredson True Grit (2010) d: Joel Coen & Ethan Coen Melancholia (2011) d: Lars von Trier Dark Shadows (2012) d: Tim Burton Gravity (2013) d: Alfonso Cuarón Gone Girl (2014) d: David Fincher Interstellar (2014) d: Christopher Nolan Päin seinää [Headfirst] (2014) d: Antti Heikki Pesonen Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) d: George Miller Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017) D: Martin McDonagh Bubbling under: Watchmen (2009) d: Zack Snyder Midnight in Paris (2011) d: Woody Allen Zero Dark Thirty (2012) d: Kathryn Bigelow If I was forced to choose at gunpoint one film over all the others, it would be Three Billboards. I've not felt as satisfied and emotional in a movie theater in the past ten years as I did during that one. The whole audience was the same. Magnificent.
In no particular order this would be my top 10 of the last 10 years: Her Before Midnight The Hunt (Jagten) Sicario Birdman The Dark Knight The Great Beauty (La Grande Bellezza) La La Land The Social Network (most underrated and overlooked film of the last decade imo) Shame Then there would be some honorable mentions that could easily make the cut: Black Swan, The Act of Killing, Phantom Thread, Drive, The Revenant)
I was upset like everyone else when I realised that Mark was no longer doing Kermode uncut. From what I can gather though he is doing similar content on his Kermode on film podcast (available on Spotify) where he has just released his top 10 films of 2018. The reason I think this blog is stopping is because he is transitioning to Spotify where he will cover additional content aside from the 5live show. So if you're missing Kermode uncut check out the podcast, I'.m looking forward to more content in the hells video series.
1. Black Swan 2. A Serious Man 3. Martyrs 4. Shame 5. Phantom Thread 6. The Handmaiden 7. The Witch 8. The White Ribbon 9. Winter Sleep 10. The Turin Horse
Mine would be.. 1) Inherent Vice 2) It's Such a Beautiful Day 3) Drive 4) The Art of Killing 5) The Florida Project 6) The Tree of Life 7) Once Upon a Time in Anatolia 8) Tabu 9) Le Havre 10) A Field in England Bubbling under...Mandy, Roma, Victoria, Django Unchained, Paterson, American Honey, The Kid With a Bike, Phantom Thread...
What’s the best way to get these snippets? these recaps if you will? for those who aren’t able to trudge through the hours and hours you have on spotify
I don't agree with you on raw being on the list as a horror fan it didn't float my boat..thanks mark for the great content over the last 10 years..top man
In no particular order, these come to mind: Synechdoche New York The Hateful Eight/Snowpiercer Blade Runner 2049 Drive The Master Her Hereditary Nightcrawler Under the Skin Interstellar There are still many more movies of the past decade for me to watch, and there's a good chance I just forgot some film that I really love, but this list looks right enough, I suppose.
My top 10, FWIW (in no order): - the wind rises - le quattro volte (four seasons) - fish tank - the grand budapest hotel - boyhood - submarine - another year - carol - django unchained - the lobster
1. Inside Llewyn Davis2. Beats of the Southern Wild3. The Master4. The Dark Knight5. Nightcrawler6. The Wolf of Wallstreet7. Inglourious Basterds8. The Social Network9. Midnight in Paris10. Watchmen / Django UnchainedHonorable mentions: Gran Torino, Sully, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Bridge of Spies, Hugo, Wall-E, The Muppets,
Nice list. One of the great things about movies is that not many people would have the same top ten. Ps. Took me a while to trust you again after you said that you prefered Silent Running to 2001.
SO many great movies from 2008-2018. It’s hard to choose. But if I had to, right now, it would be: 10. Silence 9. Blade Runner 2049 8. Mad Max: Fury Road 7. The Dark Knight 6. Birdman 5. Drive 4. The Master 3. Her 2. Moonlight 1. Roma
10 - Lala land 9 - Boyhood 8 - Dunkirk 7 - Drive 6 - Midnight in Paris 5 - Baby Driver 4 - Birdman 3 - Up 2 - Inception 1 - Whiplash Plenty of others but this was my best 10!
I've watched Roma twice and I could easily see that being my #1 or 2 with a bit more time but for now I've got Carol, Embrace of the Serpent, The Master and Your Name as my top 4 with the rest being quite hard to rank
Best animated should have its own list. Your name was one of the best of the last 10. Embrace of the Serpent was one of Mark's favourites too. Surprised that didn't make it. This list feels like the most emotionally affecting movies for Mark of the last 10
1.3 bilboards outside ebbing misouri 2.12 years a slave 3.inception 4.shape of water 5.my life as a courgette 6. In bruges 7.gravity 8.get out 9.sing street 10.whiplash
For me it's: 10. Arrival 9. Moonlight 8. Mandy 7. Carol 6. The Tale of the Princess Kaguya 5. The Babadook 4. Song of the Sea 3. We need to talk about Kevin 2. The Handmaiden 1. Let the Right one in
1. A Serious Man 2. Inside Llweyn Davis 3. Get Out 4. Wolf of Wall St. 5. Room 6. O.J.: Made in America 7. The Fighter 8. La La Land 9. Adventureland 10. Coco
Kermode's top 10 of the last 10 years: 10. Shape of Water 9. 12 Years a Slave 8. The Babadook 7. Under the Shadow 6. We Need to Talk About Kevin 5. Raw 4. The Red Turtle 3. Moonlight 2. Girlhood 1. Of Time and the City
I honestly don't get the amount of praise the shape of water is getting . Its visually beautiful ,but other than that it's a run of the mill who is the monster and who is the man type of story.
Since a few others have chipped in with theirs, I might as well add my personal top 10 favourites as well... 1. Drive 2. Scott Pilgrim vs the World 3. The Social Network 4. Whiplash 5. Inside Llewyn Davis 6. In Bruges 7. Filth 8. Dunkirk 9. Inglourious Basterds 10. Blade Runner 2049
My top 10 so far for the last 10 years: 2007 - Atonement 2008 - Synecdoche, New York 2009 - Up 2010 - The Social Network 2011 - The Tree of Life 2012 - The Master 2013 - Gravity 2014 - Whiplash 2015 - The Revenant 2016 - La La Land 2017 - Lady Bird 2018 - Roma
Heres my list from 08-18 (sorry if dates are wrong) 08 - Bronson 09 - Moon 10 - Inception 11 - We need to talk about Kevin 12 - Killing them softly 13 - Starred up 14- Interstellar 15- Mad Max-fury road 16- O.J Made in America 17-Blade Runner 2049 18- Cold War
Hard to pick only ten, and any attempt at ranking seems random and wrong, depending on what is on my mind right now and by which angle I look at them. Here are 25 of my favourites since 2009: 1. Only Lovers Left Alive 2. mother! 3. The Favourite 4. Loving Vincent 5. Beasts of No Nation 6. The Artist 7. The VVitch 8. System Crasher 9. Django Unchained 10. Captain Fantastic 11. Blade Runner 2049 12. Thirst 13. Gloria (2013) 14. Arrival 15. The Danish Girl 16. Joker 17. Parasite 18. Antichrist 19. Nightcrawler 20. Kubo And the Two Strings 21. Coco 22. Luz 23.
