In celebration of Burns Night, we at Best for Film have compiled our favourite Scottish films, whether they be set in Scotland, or made by Scottish directors, all these films have made a name for themselves internationally as well as domestically, proving that Scotland has a rich cinematic history. In no particular order, these films are all worthy of a watch, or a second watch if you’ve already seen them. With so much to be patriotic about, ol’ Rabbie Burns would be proud.
With news from Harvard that we may soon be cloning an authentic Neanderthal (if the scientists can find ‘an enthusiastic female’ to impregnate), we got to thinking about films that have featured clones over the years. The list below should be a top ten, but has become a Top 10 + 2, presumably because a process of cloning clone films and unintentionally breeding new ones has also been occurring without our knowledge. Either way, here is our top 10 (+2) clone films. Enjoy enjoy enjoy enjoy….
We might have to make this the last ever OWLs, just because the thought of writing the same blog one hundred times makes us feel so boring we’re in danger of self-destructing. So, goodbye from everyone at Best Fo… oh, who are we kidding? We’ll be back next week telling you to take a pillow if you’re going to see Lincoln, but for now settle back and prepare to be told your new opinions!
Highly-respected thespian Daniel Day-Lewis is famously known for his extreme method acting, but if you think you’ve got him all figured out, think again. What with Lincoln hitting cinemas this Friday, we thought we’d give the multi-Oscar-nominated actor his very own Cheat Sheet that he can hang up on his wall if he ever finds space amidst all those shiny awards. Turns out, he’s one of the most interesting human beings, literally, ever.
Week 2 of the revived Face/Off, and in our quest to smear everyone likely to lift an Oscar next month we’re going after Steven ‘literally the world’s most popular director’ Spielberg and his endless production line of successful, enjoyable, inoffensive cinema. You bastard, Steve. Sod your New Year’s Resolution to think only kind thoughts, it’s time to FACE/OFF!
The release of Gangster Squad has got us reminiscing about our favourite screen mobsters, and we thought it was about time someone lent a voice to the most unsung criminal masterminds in film. But don’t go looking for Goodfellas and Godfathers – we’ve excluded Scorsese, because his characters are a whole top 10 on their own. NO MORE shall these forgotten bandits be ignored. Who’s the most ruthless, the most unsung gangster of them all? (Some of these are cartoons, by the way. What does that tell you about your childhood?)
Samuel L Jackson’s made nearly 150 films, how the hell did we miss the opportunity to pay tribute to him with a Friday drinking game?! Shameful. Here we are making it up to you alcoholics, and the motherfucker himself (an affectionate term he’d appreciate – you know we’re just joshing with you bro!).
Look, it’s a BFF infographic! The lovely folks at BikeBandit have given us this insight into the biggest, baddest, and most homoerotically leather-clad men ever to grasp a great big engine between their thighs and tear up the freeway, or down the highway, or similar. Vroom!
At BestForFilm, we take the attitude that people who buy Tesco value beefburgers probably deserve whatever they get. However, if your lunch has been interrupted by some unwanted equine DNA (and let’s face it, who wants DNA in their lunch? It’d get tangled round the salad) then we can offer assistance. For your lip-smacking delectation, we present the top 10 burgers in cinema – and there’s not a horse to be seen.
Set to run from February 14th – February 24th, Glasgow Film Festival has this week announced its line-up for 2013. With some incredible films in the schedules, we at Best For Film are here to make much ado about something.
