  • Top Ten Moments from Quentin Tarantino Films

    With the building anticipation of Django Unchained, Best For Film was invited down to the unparallelled Prince Charles Cinema just off Leicester Square in London to enjoy every single Quentin Tarantino directed film back-to-back. Although the prospect of a 15 hour cinema session might seem as bad as what Zed does to Ving Rhames, it’s all in a day’s work for us here at the Best For Film World Headquarters. Here’s to our next 15 hour marathon at the PCC!


  • Top 5 suspiciously good horror sequels

    It is a truth universally acknowledged that a horror movie with a domestic gross amounting to a small fortune must be in line for a string of sequels of ever-diminishing quality.

    London’s seventh annual Korean Film Festival is in full swing! Running until November 11th, it’s a rare showcase of popular Korean filmmaking, offering an insight into a culture as in love with pop music, fashion and Hollywood as our own.

In the meantime, why not grab a drink and revisit the original trilogy with us in our Star Wars drinking game!




  • Disney Star Wars – we debate the movie sell-off of the decade

    We know you’ve turned up eager for your regular serving of OWL, but in light of yesterday’s extraordinary treaty between Skywalker Ranch and the House of Mouse we’ve suspended our usual Wednesday service to bring you red hot opinions from every member of the Best For Film team. You’re going to see Skyfall again tonight anyway. Buckle in for the biggest argument since Han shot first…



  • Cheat Sheet: Daniel Craig

    Winner of Esquire Magazine’s coveted Best Dressed Male award in 2006 and achieving 7th in Elle Magazine’s 15 Sexiest Men poll in 2007, Daniel Craig is known for little else. What’s that? James Bond you say? Never heard of it.


  • TGIM! Film Africa 2012

    Building on last year’s success, Film Africa is back in London with another goldmine of shorts, documentaries and features that showcase the cinematic identity of a continent largely unseen on an international stage. With some 70 films in town, there’s every reason to take a trip to some of the more unlikely destinations of world cinema.
