(Most of these i'd watched before, of course.)

Now, i know that you're all aching to know what  my favourite was of the ones i saw for the first time this year.  Well, ok, it's now last year.

I watched and loved both the Swedish (2009) and the American (2011) versions of "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" and they're both excellent, but it's the American one that gets the nod.

Runners-up would be the Swedish version, obviously, and then "Prometheus," "Down To The Bone" (brilliant performance by my sweetheart Vera Farmiga) and -- which may surprise anyone who knows me, "Milk" (because i have very little interest in politics, let alone gay politics, but Sean Penn's performance in this is nothing less than magnificent).
