Having finally seen them all here is my ranking of this year's best picture nominees. A fairly solid group this year, not as strong as last year but only really one dud on the list. The gap between 9 & 10 is infinitely bigger than the gap between 9 & 1.

1. The Iron Claw (Sean Durkin)
This one has stuck with me since I saw in cinemas back in February. Heart-wrenchingly tragic but beautifully life-affirming, I don't know if I my heart could take a rematch anytime soon though.

2. Poor Things (Yorgos Lanthimos)
Equal parts uncomfortable, funny and profound. I've never seen anything like this.

3. The Holdovers (Alexander Payne)
I'm a sucker for a slow character study, with 3 of the best performances of the year and a brilliant screen play this will be a festive go to for me from now on.

4. Dune: Part Two (Denis Villeneuve)
Seeing this in IMAX was an incredible experience. I would have sat there to watch another 3 hours of this.

5. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (George Miller)
The most exciting cinema experience of the year, mind blowing set piece after mind blowing set piece.

6. Challengers (Luca Guadagnino)
This movie made me care about tennis. That's impressive. Also the tennis ball shot might be single coolest thing in any movie this year, or any year.

7. Perfect Days (Wim Wenders)
It's hard to explain just how moving this film is to someone who hasn't seen it. Yes the most profound film I saw this year was about cycling and cleaning toilets.

8. All of Us Strangers (Andrew Haigh)
A very unique, crushingly heartbreaking take on a well worn genre. The only film that had me crying the cinemas this year.

9. Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (Merlin Crossingham, Nick Park)
Making a direct follow-up to the best entire in the franchise was a risk that paid of Big time. Absolutely delightful, a highlight of the series.

10. American Fiction (Cord Jefferson)
No film this year had me laughing as constantly as this, I love when a satire has teeth and a heart.
