 A star was born at TIFF in 2003.
Part of one of the cinema’s most famous families, the Coppola’s, she had been brutalized by the critics for her performance in The Godfather Part III (1990), which in my world simply does not exist. Frankly she was not even the major problem with the film, thus I found the attacks on her to be downright cruel.

 Admittedly I felt a warm glow the first time I saw a trailer for The Hobbit, due in theaters this December. It was as though we were among old friends again, something familiar, very fine about the look of the preview, which captured the feeling of The Lord of the Rings so beautifully. Peter Jackson’s accomplishment with the The Lord of the Rings trilogy remains astonishing, as he brought each book to vivid life on the screen with incredible detail, love and depth. There were some complaints that Tom Bombadil, a major character in the books was deleted, but upon seeing the films, I did not miss him. The actors gave the film such incredible dramatic heft with their wonderful performances, so much so that we began to care for them rather deeply. There were tears when it seemed Gandalf, and then, Aragorn had perished, and genuine heartache as that gutsy old King died a terrible death. As Sam lifted Frodo onto his back to carry him to Mount Doom we began to understand the depth of the little hobbit’s fierce loyalty to his friend. Best of all, the moment that still gives me chills, when Aragorn turns to Gandalf and whispers, “for Frodo” becoming at that moment the King we all knew he could be.

 So here we are…the end of the Top Ten Greatest Films of All-Time Series. My outstanding group of writers brought forth some wonderful films to highlight. The argument has been made among the community, and even the staff, asking what this series really is? Is it the “best” made films of all time? Is it my “favorite” films of all time? Is there a difference? Is there a right answer? Read more on 10 Greatest Films of All-Time (Clayton)…
