The BBC’s Film critique program, Film 2004 (obviously that title will change next year!) has announced the results of it’s viewers poll. This is always a telling poll and is a good indication of what the UK audience really has enjoyed watching during the year.
This year the winner was the third part of a trilogy (that’ll be the final part then) that has won the award for each part in the past few years.
The two previous films in Peter Jackson’s trilogy, The Fellowship Of The Ring and The Two Towers, took the title in 2002 and 2003 respectively.
The run down of winners are:
1. The Return of the King
2. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
3. Finding Neverland
4. Lost in Translation
5. Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban
6. Shaun of the Dead
7. Hero
8. The Incredibles
9. Spider-Man 2
10. Collateral
A very good list, and personally I am there with almost all of it. For me though number 3 and 5 are no shows in my top ten. In Neverland’s case it’s because I never saw it, and in Potter’s case it’s because I don’t want to see it.
Looks like Shaun has had a nice push for its British connections though, it’s lovely to see it up there I’m really not sure how it contends with Hero and Incredibles for me. I would see them above Shaun but it still in the listing. Definitely Sunshine and Translation that far up though.
What does everyone else think? Make sure when you post your thoughts or your top ten\five, that you mention what country you are from. I think that makes an interesting comparison.
