I thought I’d be a little different this week and rather than do an ordered top 5, I’d do an unordered top 10. This is inspired by the recent Sight and Sound top 50 films of all time list as it was another reminder of some of the phenomenal films I am yet to see. So here in order of age are my top 10 films I really want to catch up with.

With the exception of his debut Following, I have seen every one of Christopher Nolan’s eight movies and I think he is one of the most consistent directors working today. Now that I have seen The Dark Knight Rises I can perform my rundown of his top 5 films.

While there was no phenomenally amazing film from 2004, there were a lot of quality films that deserve to be seen.
Top 5… Trilogies

The Dark Knight Rises promises to end Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy in style when it opens on Friday so here is my rundown of the best trilogies of all time. Here are my rules:
- To make it a trilogy there needs to be a solid thread tying the films together, Park Chan-wook’s “Vengeance trilogy” are not strongly connected enough to count.
- There must be no fourth in the series, the Alien Quadrilogy is out.
- Prequels and reboots don’t count towards a trilogy so the X-Men films are in (although unlikely to make an appearance).

For some reason the Spider-Man films are being rebooted only 5 years after the last one was made. This seemed like a good time to follow up my top 5 prequels with my top 5 reboots.

We’ve reached the halfway point of the year and it seems the perfect (and popular) time to recap my top 5 films of 2012 so far. I’m not going to bother re-reviewing them at his stage, I’ll just link back to my original articles.

This week sees Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter hit the big screen and my expectations are really low. However it was the perfect opportunity to list my top 5 vampire movies. One comment though, I have never seen Fright Night or The Lost Boys so they will be sadly missing from my list.

2005 was apparently a violent and bloody year. Proceed through my top 5 with caution. You have been warned…

Sunday would have been Judy Garland’s 90th birthday and so as I mainly remember her for her musicals I thought I would run down my top 5 movie musicals!

Prometheus is nearly here and it marks a welcome return to the sci-fi genre for Ridley Scott. It is also a prequel to the Alien movie which is a good prompt for me to cover my top 5 movie prequels.

The latest film from the darkly gothic Tim Burton Dark Shadows is now out and that seems like a good prompt to list my top 5 films from the wacky director.

Boy, 2007 was a good year. If I could have a top 10 list I would have done. Narrowing it down to 5 was hard and without further ado, here they are.
Top 5… Religious movies

It’s Easter so I thought this was a good excuse to do a top 5 list of religious movies. This doesn’t mean cheesy Christian films but any film where religion or faith is an important plot piece. Important exclusions are films where there is religious metaphor. This will prevent The Matrix from making it into two Top 5 lists in a row!
