BRIAN VINER: If I compiled my list again today, I still wouldn't have space for The Italian Job, Forrest Gump, The Great Escape, or Titanic, which all of which encouraged readers to write in. By the way, that doesn't mean I don't like or even love those photos (although not Titanic), which makes me wish the iceberg would strike a bit sooner).

Films from 2024 will disqualify films from Best Picture contention that are deemed not to have enough actors, are from the LGBTQ community, or disabled.

BRIAN VINER: I'm not sure that after going to see The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, surrounded by the under-tenants, I felt so disconnected from a target audience as I did watching Magic Mike's Last Dance. It can be lonely to look out of a demographic group while still looking in. As the lights dimmed at Tuesday evening's preview screening, a kind of nervous euphory settled over the predominantly female crowd, giving way to whoops of excitement as soon as Channing Tatum, the beefcake's beefcake, appeared in the title role. A young man and his girlfriend were accompanied by a little whoop, followed by a self-conscious grin to announce that it had been, you know, ironic.

To lighten the mood, Claire Foy has revealed that co-star Rooney Mara snuck a fart machine into the set of their latest film Women Talking to lighten the mood.
