Kermode’s list is a lot of hard watches. Some good ones though, but he’s listing stuff for their challenging or dark tones, artistry, not for greatness. Never could stand Kermode anyway.
Now Barry Norman has a decent list…

About 25 of those not seen. Those that I have are all excellent, so probably the rest are too.
Kermode’s list deliberately has a lot of “hard watches”. Barry Norman’s is essentially unchallenging, enjoyable, popularist fare. I doubt there would be much disagreement between the two about many of the films on the other’s list.
I watched the pile of shite Pan’s Labyrinth years ago on the recommendation from Mark Kermode so wholeheartedly agree with others on here about his taste.
Please explain why you thought Pan’s Labyrinth was a “pile of shite”.

I steer well clear of anything aimed at teenagers with ADHD like Transformers
Mark Kermode hates the Transformers films 😉
