UK Best Box Office for 40 years

[Uncle Spielberg]

The UK has had it best cinematic box office returns pro rata for 40 years in terms of people through the door due to the piss poor Summer. How many of these top 10 did you see and what would you rate as the best film of the top 10. I will post a new Wilkins related thread shortly don't worry.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Where is the top 10?

 

[Les Biehn]

All of them. Hang on, what were they?

 

[supaseagull]

has to be Transformers, followed by Spiderman 3

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Eight of them are sequels etc. and two are adapted from cartoons. Brilliant. I haven't seen any of them.

 

[Les Biehn]

Only saw Bourne which was very good.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Didnt see any of those.

 

[Nibble]

Saw Bourne, great.
Would like to have seen DH4

The rest aren't really up my straza.

 

[Simster]

Didn't see any of them. Bourne is the only one I really want to see because it does get good reviews.

Is it just me or does that not make sense?

 

[Stinkers Bridge]

I think 'Bell Bottom George' should be on that list somewhere.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

all except bourne

 

[desprateseagull]

were any of these made in the UK??

I always admire art by how much money it makes. My favourite photograph is that lady tennis player scratching her naked arse and the painting that presses for good in one of my frontal lobes is that one of dogs playing cards. Haha! Brilliant! And this list is of a similar standing to those two flatulent greats.
The only one of any social worth in it's depths is the Bourne Ultimatum for it's modern political sense, settings apeing those blown to smithereens in recent years by terrorist onslaught and the endless, blank-faced necessity of trained violence in an inconclusive hunt for truth.
The Lives Of Others was/is perhaps my favourite film of the year thus far, but i still await something to morally blister and immobilise me.

You must LOVE Damien Hurst Meado.

Transformers




Pirates
Bourne

From the 3 I saw, yes I know but Bourne was a crushing dissapointment and for me Pirates 3 was a more enjoyable spectacle and Transformers wiped the floor with both of them quite frankly

 

[Les Biehn]

The only decent films I've seen this year are Sunshine, Bourne and Hot Fuzz. The Lives of Others was a massive dissapointment.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Harry Potter 7 Grimsby Town 0

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

what about the Balester in 3.10 to Yuma Les

The only decent films I've seen this year are Sunshine, Bourne and Hot Fuzz. The Lives of Others was a massive dissapointment.

It wasn't as good and authentically telling as i wished it to be, but the desperate solitude of our balding observer hero had me suitably gripped throughout.
The problem, i thought, was that those who struggled in the main were artists, and who truly feels the loss of the well-off and regularly applauded? Not i.

Hot Fuzz was funny for about 20 minutes, before the self-referentialism, and repetitive rehashing was droll and characterless. Then it became a painful bore, i thought.

Die hard 4 was a proper turd though.
Sunshine i should borrow from a friend. or perhaps i could rent it. *shudder*
