Last week the official selection for the 64th Cannes Film Festival was announced.  49 films will be screened this year across all four categories: Competition, Un Certain Regard, Out of Competition, and Special Screenings.  But out of all that, which of these films should you be most excited to see?

Here is my list of the top 5 film to be stoked about:

1. The Tree of Life – dir: Terrence Malick

2. Sleeping Beauty – dir: Julia Leigh

3. Midnight in Paris – dir: Woody Allen

4. Melancholia – dir: Lars von Trier

5. Restless – dir: Gus Van Sant

Please continue after the break for a full breakdown of these films.

Welcome to another edition of On the Radar where we delve into all corners of the entertainment, tech and geek Internets for news, views and whatnot that may have escaped our regular coverage during the week. Let is know if we missed something interesting.

Let’s get started!

• Getting ready to wrestle with the Gods this May in Thor? This Behind-the-scenes featurette should help you get ready for battle.

• As if we needed another reason to pick up Portal 2 next week, we can now spend an extra to get some sweet gear upgrades, like special boots that won’t let you die!

• Remember ElfQuest? We kind of do, too. A few die-hard hotties decided to stop waiting for a film and make their own by prancing in the woods wearing very little clothing and tons of makeup. We approve.

• This one has been surfing around the net all week, and is proof that given the chance, the next generation of kids will, in fact, choose the Dark Side.
