My Top Ten Most Anticipated Movies of 2012
Fair warning: I am a sci-fi and superhero movie fan first and foremost, so don’t expect too much artsy or mainstream fare on this list. Granted, being a Shakespeare nut, one movie I am enormously excited about is Ralph Fiennes’ Coriolanus, but I have decided not to include it because it was festival-released...

Christmas is here again which can only mean one thing – it’s ‘Panto Season’! We at Flickfeast decided to put on our own production, but became stuck. Who should be our villain (it’s a well known fact that it’s not sappy Prince Charming or sugar sweet Cinderella that are best loved,...

Top Ten Christmas Movies
For all of us there are certain things that are synonymous with Christmas time. Slade, the Coca-Cola adverts, mistletoe and wine, all vital parts of the festive season.

Top Ten Classic Ghost Movies for a Winter’s Night
Ghost stories are as much part of the Christmas tradition as eggnog and mince pies (in fact the similarities don’t end there as all three can be equally comforting, reassuring and satisfying in a perverted sense). But what makes a ghost story ‘good’ and a good one ‘classic’?...

The Top Ten Sci-Fi Movies of the 2000s
The noughties were naughty indeed, as we – rather strangely – had far less great sci-fi movies than in the 1980s and ‘90s. Maybe 911 is to blame? If so, we are beginning to get over it, I think, because 2010 alone offered several movies (such as Iron Man 2 and TRON: Legacy) that would [...]

Top 10 Movie Dystopias
Science Fiction movies often paint a pretty grim picture of our future. Some of the very best films in this genre work on this basis and I’d argue that in purely cinematic terms, Dystopia trumps Utopia every time.

Top Ten Sci-Fi Movies of the 1990s
The 1990s was quite an impressive decade for sci-fi movies; a near-worthy rival of the ‘80s. 1997 alone was probably the best year ever for good science fiction movies; besides the four spectacular ones on the list below, there was also the great Gattaca, and then some more commercial movies of the...

Top Ten Sci-Fi Movies of the 1980s
While the 1970s did not overflow with lots of fantastic sci-fi movies (other than Star Wars), the 1980s is a whole ‘nother story. This is where the modern sensibilities and progressive ideas that were released in the ‘60s and ‘70s really break through to the entertainment business. For the ‘80s,...
