The Inbetweeners movie
BRITISH movies punched well above their weight over the past 12 months, dominating the box office on this side of the Atlantic and reigning supreme at the Academy Awards.
Three markedly different home-grown hits – Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2, The Inbetweeners Movie and The King’s Speech – drew UK audiences to multiplexes in their droves, collectively earning more than £160 million as the top-grossing pictures of the year.
Johnny English Reborn may have stumbled short of expectations but Aardman Animations ended the year on a high with the fabulously festive Arthur Christmas.
BAFTA and Oscar fell head over heels in love with The King’s Speech, bestowing their top prize to Tom Hooper’s majestic comedy drama, plus trophies aplenty to screenwriter David Seidler and lead actor Colin Firth for his mesmerising portrayal of King George VI.
The final chapter of JK Rowling’s boy wizard cast a heady spell, bidding a tearful farewell to the students of Hogwarts as they battled Lord Voldemort and his nefarious acolytes.
Harry, Hermione and Ron edged past Transformers: Dark Of The Moon as the global box office champion of the year, while Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides navigated the shallows of some dreadful reviews to also sail past the one billion dollar landmark in takings – mightily impressive for the fourth film in a franchise.
Fast & Furious 5 surpassed expectations and delivered slam-bang thrills with gusto, much like Tom Cruise’s third outing as Mission: Impossible agent Ethan Hunt.
