Let the Right One In - Loved it. If not for a couple of scenes that crossed over into the realm of comedy and felt out of place with the otherwise perfectly dark tone of the film, I would call this the perfect modern day vampire flick. As it stands, this demonstration of the particular difficulties of being twelve years old, whether one is a vampire or not, is one terrific film.

These three would easily rank on my top 10 for the year.... (with CBB & LtROI near the top and GT in the bottom third...)

Watched it again last night - I rarely go back to something so soon, I think it's the best thing I have seen for quite a while, the ending is quite a conundrum. I'm reading the book as well the film is very faithful to it.

Wuthering Heights (1939) William Wyler.

There's good reason to revel in this Bronte adaptation it looks more like a gothic horror - while the story is timeless, it's easy to see why Lawrence Olivier was so highly thought of; when you see him in his pomp he certainly has the power to focus your attention and all the surrounding characters lend their weight to the heady happenings, a real fun escape...

David Copperfield (1935) George Cukor.

A very fine adaptation of the Dickens novel, it looks sumptuous and WC Fields as Micawber was brilliant.

400 Blows (1959) Francois Truffaut

A good reason to call Truffaut a genius.
