It's been a while since one of these...

We’re heading back 15 years to celebrate the cinematic gems of 2010! From dream heists and dystopian dramas to animated tearjerkers, we each reveal our personal Top 10 films of the year — and no two lists are the same. Expect passionate picks, controversial omissions, and a whole lot of film geekery.

Join us as we rewind to a stacked year in cinema and ask: did Inception blow our minds? Did The Social Network define a generation? And where does Scott Pilgrim fit into all this?

Here’s how it works: we each take turns counting down from #10 to #1 from UK release only. If two (or more) of us have the same film on our lists, we’ll hold off discussing it until it appears at its highest placement. That way, we can give it the spotlight it deserves. Once the lists are complete, we will rattle off our honourable mentions.

Let us know your 2010 rankings!

We’re celebrating the brilliant comedic madness of one of the late, great actors of our time — the one and only Robin Williams. From his hilarious, heartfelt performances to the way he shaped our childhoods, Robin was everyone’s favourite funcle.

If you’ve ever played fantasy football, you’ll get the gist. We’re drafting from Williams’ entire filmography, taking turns to fill six distinct categories. Once a player locks in a pick, it’s final—and that movie is off the board for everyone else. Draft order? Decided by the legendary Wheel of Names. And since we’re using a snake draft, the playing field stays even.

This week, we channel that nostalgic energy into a full-blown draft as we go head-to-head, choosing our favourite films from his incredible and diverse filmography. The draft is divided into six categories:

🎭 Drama

🤣 Comedy

🎬 Pre-1999

🎥 Post-2000

🏆 Award Recognition

🎲 Free Pick

With a career spanning decades and genres, this one’s going to be tough.

And let’s not forget: Daniel is the reigning champ of the draft and so far, unbeaten. Heavy is the head that wears the crown — but can he finally be dethroned?

We’ll be posting our full draft picks on social media, where you can vote for the ultimate Robin Williams Draft champion. And to top it all off, we’re wrapping things up with our classic IMDb film guessing game—Williams edition!

Get ready for laughs, heated debate, and a whole lot of love for Robin Williams. Let the drafting begin!

Who won? We want to know!

Biopics are everywhere right now — so what makes A Complete Unknown stand out? Or does it? This week, we dive into James Mangold’s latest take on musical legend Bob Dylan, with Timothée Chalamet stepping into the shoes (and harmonica) of one of the most enigmatic figures in music history.

Does Mangold recapture the magic of Walk the Line? Does Chalamet deliver a performance worth singing about? And do you need to be a Dylan devotee to connect with this film — or is it just another hit in the biopic factory line?

We’re tackling all that and more as we compare this one to other recent biopics, question whether biopic fatigue is real, and ask the big question: does A Complete Unknown do anything new?
