As ever, the London Film Festival plays host to dozens of films.

But which ones are worthy of your attention?

),The Kings Speechlooks mightily regal.

Yes, it screened at Toronto.

Black Swan

Black Swan!

The new film from Darren Aronofsky!

A psycho-thriller based around the pressures and trauma of ballet dancing, influenced by prime-era Roman Polanski?

Starring Natalie Portman, Vincent Cassel and Winona Ryder?

Sporting a score by Clint Mansell made entirely from remixed elements of TchaikovskysSwan Lake?

The film opened Venice, and was screened at both Telluride and Toronto, receiving mixed reviews all over.

Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale

Now, heres something odd.

This Finnish flick is a wildly entertaining festive adventure, with mild horror and mysticism thrown in.

But soon they find something.

Could it be the real Santa Claus?

The one from Sami folklore?

You know, the evil one?

And those Torontonians seemed to like it too.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the film is chock-full of cringe-y humour and borderline quirkiness.

Telegraph critic Sukhdev Sandhu called it barely a film; more a floating world.

For those with artier dispositions, this is a must-see.

Step up Mark Ruffalo, a free-spirited organic farmer, who starts to upset the domestic equilibrium.

Thats high praise, if you ask us.

It premiered at, you guessed it, Toronto.

Lemmy Kilmister is one-of-a-kind.

Hes a perfect subject, and the film draws on three years of material.

Were getting aStardust-y,Princess Bride-sy vibe from it.

The trailer is filled with such warmth and sincerity that were dying to see it.

Here, a 16-year-old boy checks into a mental institution after a failed suicide attempt.

This has the potential to be kookily awful, or something quite special.

Were hoping for the latter.

And, hey, Broken Social Scene are doing the score.

How cool is that?

Now, if that collision of genres, tones and style hasnt got you hooked, youre hopeless.

The star gazing space travel of2001meets the dusty drudgery ofMoon, with a bit of cheeky, hipster wit?

Sounds original, if anything.
