Comments

There were some films and directors that were non-negotiable inclusions, but to manage the impossible task of picking just ten personal favourites (and for a list that has done so much to shape and guide my viewing habits over the past decade), I decided to prioritise films that feel underappreciated or overlooked from the 2012 poll.
