A happy new year to one and all! We hope you’ve had a lovely festive season, and that you’re as ready and raring to get back into Arty Farty Film Party for 2010 as we are.

For our 14th party we’re taking a trip to Japan to experience the imagination, brilliance and at times the down right bizarreness of Studio Ghibli. I remember the first of their films that I ever watched - Spirited Away - I’d never seen anything like it before, and I don’t think I’ve seen anything like it in the animated world since. They are truly breathtaking films, visually stunning with beautifully crafted stories. I’m not going to lie, we’re excited about this one!

Spirited Away

Remember: with this poll you can vote for an existing film, as well as adding your own choice of film, and if you really think one of the other film suggestions is complete pap you can ‘bury’ it (which is like knocking one vote off). To cast your vote just click on the square to the right of the film title you want to vote for. Also - you can vote for every film if you care to, but only one vote per film. Just to help you out if you’re feeling torn!

The vote closes at 12pm, Friday 15th January.
