Outstanding drama with newcomer Martin Compston giving easily the best performance of the year.

4. Mulholland Drive

I haven't got a clue what it was about, but my God, it was stunning.

Dan's R1 DVD review

5. Minority Report

Close to perfect sci-fi that just didn't know when to stop and had to give us one ending too many.

Dom's R2 DVD review

6. Spiderman

The best superhero film since Superman more than met all expectations.

Travis' R1 DVD review

7. Donnie Darko

Time travelly, teen angsty horror/comedy, wonderfully directed.

Dan's R1 DVD review

8. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Glorious sequel that improved on the first in the series in almost every way.

Paul's Cinema review

9. Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones

Another sequel that learned something from the faults of the first and was much better for it.

10. Monsters Inc.

Pixar can simply do no wrong.

2002 - Bottom Ten

1. Rollerball

Jaw-droppingly awful remake that brings new meaning to the term 'mindless action'. Not only the worst film of 2002, but one of the worst I have ever seen.

Travis' R1 DVD review

2. Halloween: Resurrection

Abysmal sequel too many.

Paul's Cinema review

3. Killing Me Softly

I actually feel quite bad about including this, because it was funnier than MIB2 and Goldmember combined. If only it were a comedy.......

4. The Sweetest Thing

Horrible.

5. Black Knight

Did I laugh once? Did I fuck.

Paul's Cinema review

6. Resident Evil

The worst thing about this travesty of a film is the potential that was wasted by its hack director. Infuriatingly bad.

7. The Musketeer

Hopeless attempt to combine the classic swashbuckling tale with wire-fu action. Buy Once Upon a Time in China on DVD instead.

8. Men In Black 2

Lazy, witless sequel.

9. The Time Machine

A confused mess of a film, nice FX.

10. All or Nothing

Mike Leigh's pretentious wank-fest was so dull that I can't even be bothered coming up with a decent metaphor.
