    Parallel Mothers
    The king of kitschy, campy cinema, understated is not always a word you’d readily associate with Pedro Almodóvar, but in his compassionate hands, motherhood becomes a vehicle for something much more weighty.
  2. Moonfall
    The bad news is that Moonfall isn’t a great movie. The good news is that it’s hugely enjoyable for most of its running time.
  3. Jackass Forever
    There’s a kindness and companionship – and freedom – to Jackass Forever that makes for 90 minutes of pure joy.
  4. The Souvenir: Part II
    The film takes a minute to let the viewer in, to get on Julie’s level, but it’s often rewarding once her heart really does open up.
  5. Nightmare Alley
    Just as ugly and beautiful as any classic noir, del Toro’s dark, dazzling three-ring Hollywood circus proves the old-fashioned event film still has a lot of life left.
  6. Brian Wilson: Long Promised Road
    Gradually, Fine’s sensitive, softly-softly approach works small wonders.
  7. Home Team
    Driven by big-truck energy and lumbered with tired sports clichés and flat jokes, Home Team feels like its target audience is bad dads who don’t like spending time with their sons.
  8. Belfast
    It’s best to think of Belfast as a great, crowd-pleasing coming-of-ager set in the city, rather than a serious, nuanced depiction of the conflict. Branagh’s tale leans heavily on the autobiographical and it’s about feelings rather than facts.
  9. Uncharted
    The main problem is that none of these characters are ever fleshed out enough to make you invest in them.
  10. Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio
    Looking and feeling every inch like a film made without compromise, Pinocchio was worth the wait. Del Toro has been talking about making the film for most of his career now, and the pay-off shows in every brushstroke and thumbprint.
  11. Nil by Mouth
    Gary Oldman made his directorial debut with this startling portrait of life in a deprived part of south-east London.

    Withnail and I
    Bruce Robinson’s tale of two struggling thesps who go on holiday by mistake is one of the greatest films ever made.
  13. Pink Floyd at Pompeii – MCMLXXII
    Pink Floyd At Pompeii: MCMLXXII captures a moment that’s as bygone as the good citizens of Pompeii themselves.
  14. Let It Be
    There may not be a more punk rock bit of film on earth than George being told the police were on the roof to shut them down, and casually turning his amp back on. For that alone, for all its whitewashing and line-toeing, Let It Be remains a staggering watch. [2024 Restored Version]
