Nothing else could have been number one, not after 2008, not after The Dark Knight. It. Was. Awesome. Due in no small part to the genius of Christopher Nolan, a director with an enviable track record, who now turns his attentions to the sci-fi genre with Inception, a movie shrouded in Cloverfield-levels of mystery.
We know Ken Watanabe is blackmailing Leonardo DiCaprio, who’s married to Marion Cotillard and works with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Ellen Page, but that’s it. Oh, and, it’s set within ‘the architecture of the mind’, which could mean anything at this point. Inception makes number one sheerly on the basis of the talent involved, the mega cast, the phenomenal director, and, again, because of 2008, which as our top two shows, was quite a good year for movies.
In the absence of promo images, we’ve amateurishly put together a poster ourselves for you viewing pleasure, it’s quite possibly 100% accurate, so beware SPOILERS BELOW!
There wasn’t room in the top twenty for everything, so some big projects are absent. Platformer adaptation Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, didn’t get any votes, nor did comic book cowboy movie Jonah Hex, starring Josh Brolin and Megan Fox.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 1, Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader also failed to get any support – are we suffering from long-titled kiddy-fantasy-fatigue?
Martin Scorsese’s Shutter Island was pushed back to 2010 at the last minute, otherwise it would have made the list. Kick-Ass showed its hand too late for the vote.
We don’t hold out much hope for The Wolfman as it’s had terrible problems during production, but it could surprise us all in February.
And yes The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is released too, if you’re into that sort of thing.
What are your top 3 picks?
