Please please please keep doing the 10 best movies every year. As a busy and exhausted working dad, I don't get much time to either watch many films or listen to all reviews. The Kermode Top Ten list every year is my sacred "to watch" list.
Hi there Mark,I hope you'll get the chance to see this message.I just wanted thank you,I've been battling depression and suicide since I was 11,it's been going on for 7 years now. It became tremendously difficult to find peace sometimes and even experience true joy.I just wanted to say thanks,thanks for making me smile and laugh.I've been a fan of yours for years now and by watching and listening to your good works,I gained a new perspective towards film but most importantly...I gained something.I gained a friend that I will probably never talk to or see,thank you Mark.God bless you,You made me smile during this difficult time.
John Kenneth Hi John, I hope that things are going ok for you. If you are on Facebook, there is a group the Mark Kermode Appreciation Society - we’re a friendly bunch who like to discuss films together (and we’re approved by the Good Doctor himself) if you fancy joining us.
It saddens me to find out Kermode Uncut is coming to an end. I’m quite new to tuning into the show but nonetheless thank you for all the thoughtful videos. I’m now going to watch the back catalogue of videos I missed out on.
The discontinuation of Kermode Uncut is really sad news, it has been one of the most looked forward to things every week. Still, thanks for all the work done , Mr. Kermode!
Captain Cokecan the bbc have been informed that it was to "antisemetic". And as we know, they have to keep John "mann" on side with the promise that if it does in fact return, it will be called kermode cut. And mark will be required to ware a kippah regardless of how fishy it sounds or ridiculous it looks. Although Mark is reputedly quite consoled by the fact that at lest it will help in covering up his ever incressing bald spot, though not possibly "mann's" disproportionate influence on the "Corporation" . But we have been assured that such worries are groundless, or negligible at best, as after the cover up of Saville for nigh 50 years this in turn, we are assured, should be nothing short of a cake walk. Your licence fee at work I'm sure you'll agree, right there and not all for nothing..... apparently
I've loved each week of Kermode Uncut. I started watching it when I was 13 and it really helped me become interested in films I'd never watch otherwise. I don't think I'd be apart of my film society at uni without you. Thanks for all the insight. You've been great
It's bittersweet but thank you for a decade of uncut vlogs - and thank you for the new podcast Kermode On Film. It's excellent! PS: So pleased to hear that you & Mayo are continuing together
Thank you for 10 years of excellent service Mark. I just hope this isn't a sign that the BBC are planning to can the Film Review show, given the epic balls up they made of Simon Mayo's drivetime show this year... *edit* Thanks for the reassurance Mark!
Your last remark about the movie being used in teaching struck a chord with me. Over the past 10 years I’ve been going to movies more often and it’s these really great ones that got me to start thinking about how movies work, and really engaging with them more. Movies have a language and good movies - and some spectacularly broken ones - really help you learn to understand it.
These reviews are what made me decide that reviews can actually be really worthwhile. You could say you made me review my views on reviews. I look forward to it every week, and it'll be a shame to see you go.
Sad to hear about Uncut being discontinued. Glad to hear you and Mayo are going to slog it out for eternity. Please, if you can at the end of the year do your best and the worse annual review. Thanks Mr Kermode for all the wonderful pleasures of your philosophy of film. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and your family. Much love x
This channel is so important to so many people! Personally as a film lover with limited free time, there is nothing worse that sitting down after a few weeks of hard work to finally dedicate a couple of free hours to what I love the most, only to be disappointed with the experience. This is then followed by the sheer dread of having to do it all again, not knowing when I'll be free again to watch a film and worse still if it will be any good. Thanks to your reviews and insight drawing on your entire directory of film experience those disappointing evenings have become a rarity. I'm sure you will still be watching films and brewing strong opinions which will inevitably require some medium of expression. So please continue to bestow your wisdom upon us in some form! If this is truly the end of your reviews may I wish you all the best and thank you for salvaging my precious and increasingly scarce free time.
Well, I'm sorry to see the Uncut series end. Dr. Kermode has introduced some great films I might have otherwise overlooked, through his thorough knowledge of film and how one movie may inspire a watch of another with a similar theme. I'm grateful for that.
Oh my God, a "top 10 best" video from Mark where I've actually seen all of the films on it so far! Let's see how long that lasts! 😂 Thanks for the last 10 years of quality Kermode Uncut!
I remember when i I lived and worked in London, going to the the Movie Store on St Martins lane and just shooting the shit with mark. he'd just hang out chatting. if you can get over the 'hes a celeb' thing, you get some really interesting conversations with him
Mark, do you have a list on imdb of all your films rated? I'm often trying films you review, some I love, others like The Master I thought were terrible. I often wonder what you thought of a film when I see it.
I'm welling up with tears. It has been a great ten years. Kermode put me onto some of my now favorite films. I hope Raw is in the top 3. It is one of my all time favorites. I love you my guy, wish you the best.
Really sad to hear that Kermode Uncut is coming to an end. I've been following it for the last 5 years - an insight into cinema that is very rare! A real loss. I hope Mr Kermode will be able to focus on projects similar to 'Secrets of Cinema' on TV. Does anyone know why Uncut is finishing? - I wouldn't blame the guy for just wanting to stop, 10 years of producing content every week must be pretty draining in addition to all his fine radio work. Uncut will be dearly missed!
Not sure what order I'd put them, but my 10: Let The Right One In, Inside Llewyn Davis, Under The Shadow, The Master, Carol, A Separation, Drive, Blue Is The Warmest Color, Twelve Years A Slave & Shame
@PietreADI Mother came very close. Also, The Man From Nowhere was probably the best Korean film I've seen in recent years that few people have heard of nor seen.
@PietreADI Maybe wherever you live Man Of Nowhere is well known but here in the UK it wasn't even distributed on home release & I don't recall Mark reviewing it at the time either. I've seen all those barring Asura. I also really liked A Girl At My Door which, like Man Of Nowhere, also starred Sae-ron Kim.
10 Years a Slave to Kermode Uncut. Thank-you Mark. But if "Run For Your Wife" doesn't make the Top Ten Worst of the Last Ten Years, then... "YOU MANIAC!!! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!!!"
Setting aside time to record video outside what you're job is takes energy and effort away from doing something else even if you enjoy it and can be draining.
Lot of great films in the last 10 years. If we're including 2008 so far my favorites would look something like: Carol Certified Copy A Christmas Tale The Grand Budapest Hotel Holy Motor Inside Llewyn Davis Our Little Sister Still Walking Synecdoche, New York True Grit
Under the Shadow & We Need to Talk About Kevin have both been sitting on my streaming queue for the past while to watch for the first time... I THINK TONIGHT WILL BE A VERY GOOD NIGHT
I found Babadook really powerful because it was an obvious allegory for depression and anxiety. It communicated it better than anything I’ve seen or read. If anyone struggles to understand depression I tell them to watch this.
I am so God damn happy that the Babadook was on here. Anytime I bring it up to other people it's always, "Its not even scary...", which tells me that they have completely missed the mark with their analysis and that also that they're part of the modern jumpscare crowd. So thank you!
Mark please keep doing the top 10 annual reviews they are great entertainment in themselves especially your comments on the the top worst. They are also a good chance for people who don’t have a lot of movie time to sort the wheat from the chaff. So please you and Simon are continuing so please let’s keep the top ten review. Thanks Mark H
Aww, very sad to hear Kermode Uncut is going. I don't follow a great deal of movie content on TH-cam (I mainly follow gaming content) so KU has been a good way for me to keep in contact with things going on in film. Well, then, thanks for ten years of KU, Mark and good luck with whichever venture you will be using the time for instead.
A good list. Having been an observer of film for almost 60 years now I try to think if any of those would go into the British Film Institutes top 100, hmm, top 100 maybe, but not top 25. With me it's gotten to be maybe not the top films, but the ones that engaged me , after a lot of cinema going , at this late date, ones hat stick in my mind , ones that I re-watch , at least a few times, in the last 10 years these are: The Dark Knight (2008) True Grit (2010) Gravity (2013) The Big Short (2015) Blade Runner 2049 (2017) The main element of these is how they undercut my expectations , even when I expected it! (The Coens do that all the time.) It may be the element of surprise , these all contain a sum of cinematic elements I had not seen before .... True Grit had more of the remarkable parts from the Portis novel than the 1969 version did .... as an example.
I have really enjoyed your clips. I think the Kermode Uncuts are some of the best movie magazine stuff thats been out there. Your great at talking to camera, you are what the actors you review try to be, natural, and that comes across great. You focus on the matter at hand and don't give a damn about the "make up" or "how do I look?" cause you're too much into the subject matter. BBC would be nuts not to offer you a season of Kermode Uncut on the telly, in a 30 minute format, or even an hour, it would be really interesting to see what you would bite your teeth into. May I suggest a tittle: Night at the Cinema with Mark Kermode.
Please please please keep doing the 10 best movies every year. As a busy and exhausted working dad, I don't get much time to either watch many films or listen to all reviews. The Kermode Top Ten list every year is my sacred "to watch" list.
Dean Palmer cheers for the rec!
He will struggle this year to get 10 really good films
Hear! Hear!
Well said.
Danny Curtis Oh No! Someone had a different opinion to you, how is this even possible?

Oh no I love kermode uncut
Thanks so much Mark, for a decade of Kermode Uncut.
It saddens me to find out Kermode Uncut is coming to an end. I’m quite new to tuning into the show but nonetheless thank you for all the thoughtful videos. I’m now going to watch the back catalogue of videos I missed out on.
Same. V late to the game but the man has to make some more time to watch movies!
I'm going to miss these.
Ohhhh, no more Kermode Uncut? Sad days!
Check out his Kermode On Film podcast - it's more or less the same thing but longer (and with better sound quality!)
@@doswillrule - Kermode Uncut is the only thing I subscribe to. Thanks for the info. I'll check it out
@@doswillrule I looked for that and it seems it's on itunes, is it possible to listen to without an apple product or using itunes?
@@thoughtcriminal3843 I use acast on my phone, Kermode Uncut is on there
@@jessicaknight3757 Thanks very much for the suggestion, I'll look into that.
what a shame, I'm gonna miss Kermode Uncut!
I'm sad now.
The discontinuation of Kermode Uncut is really sad news, it has been one of the most looked forward to things every week. Still, thanks for all the work done , Mr. Kermode!
Literally my favourite youtube channel.
Loved your videos.
Will miss them
Well, done. No annoying/painful beeping! Thanks. Another thanks for the last 10 years of KU.
Thank You MK for your brilliant insight and take on movies. Kermode Uncut was / is always fun! Sad to see you go...
But why? :(
I'm guessing it was just getting more and more difficult to come up with new topics and ideas for episodes.
Captain Cokecan
the bbc have been informed that it was to "antisemetic". And as we know, they have to keep John "mann" on side with the promise that if it does in fact return, it will be called kermode cut. And mark will be required to ware a kippah regardless of how fishy it sounds or ridiculous it looks. Although Mark is reputedly quite consoled by the fact that at lest it will help in covering up his ever incressing bald spot, though not possibly "mann's" disproportionate influence on the "Corporation" . But we have been assured that such worries are groundless, or negligible at best, as after the cover up of Saville for nigh 50 years this in turn, we are assured, should be nothing short of a cake walk. Your licence fee at work I'm sure you'll agree, right there and not all for nothing..... apparently
Um... the first reply was one of the silliest things I've read on TH-cam, and that's saying something.
IS THIS THING ON???? This has nothing to do with the BBC, this is a TH-cam channel....
So sad! Just discovered you recently and I’ve been looking back at all the great videos you’ve been uploading all these years. Thank you!
I've loved each week of Kermode Uncut. I started watching it when I was 13 and it really helped me become interested in films I'd never watch otherwise. I don't think I'd be apart of my film society at uni without you. Thanks for all the insight. You've been great
NOOOOOOOOOOO! Don't leave us, Mark!
Paraphrase quote "Kermode and Mayo ... which we'll carry on doing forever and ever"
It's bittersweet but thank you for a decade of uncut vlogs - and thank you for the new podcast Kermode On Film. It's excellent!
PS: So pleased to hear that you & Mayo are continuing together
Thank you for 10 years of excellent service Mark. I just hope this isn't a sign that the BBC are planning to can the Film Review show, given the epic balls up they made of Simon Mayo's drivetime show this year...
*edit* Thanks for the reassurance Mark!
No...watch the video.
Yep, thats why I added the edit! Serves me right for commenting part way through a video ;)
4:22
Always enjoyed your reviews Mark, sorry to see you go!
Whenever these videos are uploaded I instantly watch. Great analysis. Gonna miss these Kermode

PLEASE TELL ME KERMODE UNCUT IS BEING CUT TO MAKE WAY FOR SOMETHING BIGGER? BETTER? MORE AMBITIOUS?
Well, I'm sorry to see the Uncut series end. Dr. Kermode has introduced some great films I might have otherwise overlooked, through his thorough knowledge of film and how one movie may inspire a watch of another with a similar theme. I'm grateful for that.
This is a really tragic loss. Thanks for everything!
So sad to see this blog go, been here from the beginning. Hope you continue to do the year end top ten lists!
Saddened to see the show end Mark, it’s been a delight every week.
Thank you for all of your work on here. I'm totally gutted it's coming to an end but I hope it means we'll see more "Secrets of Cinema" from you.
The Babadook. Absolutely fantastic. Featuring “Miss Fisher” herself. Essie Davis.
Thank you Mark
Oh blimey...why Mark?What a shame shall miss this tremendously.
Sad to see that Kermode Uncut is stopping but a great start to this list.
Why is Kermode Uncut ending?
Mark is doing a new podcast apart from the one he does with Simon Mayo. It's called Kermode on Film
Oh my God, a "top 10 best" video from Mark where I've actually seen all of the films on it so far! Let's see how long that lasts! 😂
Thanks for the last 10 years of quality Kermode Uncut!
I love your movie reviews and hope you continue to post video reviews.
Is this the beginning of the end? I don't know what to so. It's all so sad.
Very sad Kermode Uncut is ending! :( Many thanks for the awesome times over the past 10 years.
So sad to know it's coming to an end, but thank you for a fantastic 10 years of quality discussion from Kermode Uncut.
I remember when i I lived and worked in London, going to the the Movie Store on St Martins lane and just shooting the shit with mark. he'd just hang out chatting. if you can get over the 'hes a celeb' thing, you get some really interesting conversations with him
Will keep following your reviews, sad that it's coming to an end. Guess everything moves on
Why!!!!!!!!!!! Wittertainment and kemrode on film aren't enough I need this as well - it's also mega handy when I'm doing the pots
I always look forward to your reviews.
Mark, do you have a list on imdb of all your films rated?
I'm often trying films you review, some I love, others like The Master I thought were terrible.
I often wonder what you thought of a film when I see it.

Dear Mark,
Sad 2 hear you won't be doing uncut any more:(
Regards,
10 Years a Slave to Kermode Uncut. Thank-you Mark.
But if "Run For Your Wife" doesn't make the Top Ten Worst of the Last Ten Years, then...
"YOU MANIAC!!! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!!!"
How come Kermode Uncut is ending?
Setting aside time to record video outside what you're job is takes energy and effort away from doing something else even if you enjoy it and can be draining.
@@parshooter2in2 It wouldn't surprise me if that was it, but it'd be nice to hear Mark confirm if it's that or something else
The Badabook is no longer on Netflix UK :(
ah, gutted. Thanks for all the videos, but I'll really miss these.
If something is not broke why fix it your kermode uncut is excellent please change your mind and keep it going
I guess one thumb up for the new episode along with an accompanying sad thumb down because it's all coming to an end. Thanks Mark!
The bottom ten will be full of Transformers, DCEU and Pirates of the Carribean films I bet.
Stephen Taylor Sex And The City too!
Don’t forget Entourage.
Yes indeed Boris Muller.
Dirty grampa for number 1 I reckon
Stephen Taylor and Gods of Egypt
Can't believe that Kermode Uncut is ending - why? Such a shame.
Will the weekly shows with Simon Mayo continue?
He says yes during the video.
He literally said in the video
4:22
Christmas will never be the same...... thank you.
Thanks Mark! Will miss you though, you're the only critic I listen to 😅
I'm devastated! Thank you so much for bolstering my love of film!
*11 years, but we can let it slide.
All good things come to an end. I'll keep checking out your reviews with Mayo!
Lot of great films in the last 10 years. If we're including 2008 so far my favorites would look something like:
Carol
Certified Copy
A Christmas Tale
The Grand Budapest Hotel
Holy Motor
Inside Llewyn Davis
Our Little Sister
Still Walking
Synecdoche, New York
True Grit
Seriously. Keemode Uncut is the reason I have a TH-cam account.
Thank you for all your reviews!!!
Never thought I’d shed tears over the end of a series. I adore your content and have always enjoyed your commentary. Cheers, Mark!
Under the Shadow & We Need to Talk About Kevin have both been sitting on my streaming queue for the past while to watch for the first time... I THINK TONIGHT WILL BE A VERY GOOD NIGHT
Sorry to see you go but great choices!
I found Babadook really powerful because it was an obvious allegory for depression and anxiety. It communicated it better than anything I’ve seen or read. If anyone struggles to understand depression I tell them to watch this.
I guess it was fitting that he got the Friedkin/The Exorcist mention in
Absolutley gutted! Please still do the best and worst of each year! (And also ideally the best of whats on over christmas!)
Fingers crossed for The Master and Moonlight
@@Salman-Zaki oh fair enough. Saying something isn't among Anderson's best work isn't saying much though! All his films are amazing
There Will Be Blood is far more likely to be in his top 5 instead of The Master.
@@deanharris1657 If There Will Be Blood was an option then it would be top of my list for sure but it's a 2007 film & so it doesn't qualify.
Dan Sullivan yea, I was just hoping since they reviewed it on here in 2008.
Definitely, The Master is my film of the decade and, for me, PTA's most perfect film, followed by phantom thread,
I am really going to miss this channel! 😞
I am so God damn happy that the Babadook was on here. Anytime I bring it up to other people it's always, "Its not even scary...", which tells me that they have completely missed the mark with their analysis and that also that they're part of the modern jumpscare crowd. So thank you!
Why no more? :(
Surprised by We Need to Talk About Kevin. I found it kind of pretentious and not very engaging.
The Shape of Water in a top 10 in 10 years???? 0_0
I can’t believe that makes the cut above films like Inception and Inside Out. He’s lost his mind!
I know right! I walked out of the cinema watching that rubbish. Not original and stupid story '3 Billboards' got robbed that year.
had to watch it because of the hype surrounding it-didn't like it at all
Shape of Water . . . .
Absolute RUBBISH . . .
I hope it gets better
So sorry to hear that this is ending.
Thank you for your service.
Omg, i had to restart the video so many times .. whats going on?
Thank you for 10 year!
I would start chanting "10 more years," but I suspect that would work as well as it did on Simon Mayo.
If kermode uncut is ending in order to force us to listen in to your full weekly show...
So no more content on this channel? :(
Could you recommend a good plasterer?
Limmy
NO! I just found you in the last year or two. And now it’s over??! My heart breaks
Notes on Blindness; A Pigeon Sits...; Toni Erdmann; The Handmaiden; Moonlight - my top five.
It's so very sad to see that this is the last of one of my favourite vlogs!
Thanks for all the videos dude! But why stop?
Mark please keep doing the top 10 annual reviews they are great entertainment in themselves especially your comments on the the top worst. They are also a good chance for people who don’t have a lot of movie time to sort the wheat from the chaff. So please you and Simon are continuing so please let’s keep the top ten review. Thanks Mark H
Aww, very sad to hear Kermode Uncut is going. I don't follow a great deal of movie content on TH-cam (I mainly follow gaming content) so KU has been a good way for me to keep in contact with things going on in film. Well, then, thanks for ten years of KU, Mark and good luck with whichever venture you will be using the time for instead.
Yep, I know it's only the KU segments that are going. I never thought any different.
A good list. Having been an observer of film for almost 60 years now I try to think if any of those would go into the British Film Institutes top 100, hmm, top 100 maybe, but not top 25.
With me it's gotten to be maybe not the top films, but the ones that engaged me , after a lot of cinema going , at this late date, ones hat stick in my mind , ones that I re-watch , at least a few times, in the last 10 years these are:
The Dark Knight (2008)
True Grit (2010)
Gravity (2013)
The Big Short (2015)
Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
The main element of these is how they undercut my expectations , even when I expected it! (The Coens do that all the time.)
It may be the element of surprise , these all contain a sum of cinematic elements I had not seen before ....
True Grit had more of the remarkable parts from the Portis novel than the 1969 version did .... as an example.
I wonder if Borderlands will make it onto the list? Probably my favourite film of the last 10yrs.
No don't end this!!!! Thank you fo an amazing 10 years. X
