Watched Starman on TV last night. Loved it. And obviously the soundtrack is superb. Great film.

Don’t usually do listicles, but this one stood out. The Observer’s best films of the 21st century so far – set out in chronological order, rather than a ranking.
Pan’s Labyrinth, In the Mood for Love, The Souvenir, all present – but also some inevitable oversights --no Sexy Beast, Handmaiden, nor Crouching Tiger – but an otherwise meaningful list.
I like the new Observer by the way. Quite an upgrade on the old Guardian version.

Great list. All very subjective etc.
Would have loved to see Moonlight on there somewhere. That film floors me every time.

Moonlight would definitely be part of my list – can’t believe its almost 10 years old!

Good list and probably only five or six of them I would quibble with. Great to see Eighth Grade in there. But no Sexy Beast or Dead Mans Shoes. No Ghost World! No Inglorious Basterds. No Mulholland Drive or No Country for Old Men, for goodness sake. No Downfall or The White Ribbon … and yet Cache and The Social Network?!

I found myself shouting a quote from Sexy Beast out of the window only yesterday.

I was only talking to a client today about how awful the Social Network was. Who wants to watch a film about a website?

Which one? There are so many to chose from.

Good film, creatively and culturally. My vanilla heterosexual mind did find the themes of ‘abuse’ hard to watch but some better, more educated, thoughts from the queer / kink community below

That’s a really interesting article, particularly the piece around consent.
My take was despite Colin being a bit naive at the beginning, he knew what he was getting into after those initial encounters.
Good film. Some real laugh out loud and wtf moments too.
