Your Top 10 Films

[bluffspot]

A tad bored this morn as I sit and write another batch of words - so - thought a break may be in order - I'm researching/writing some IMDB stuff and started thinking about the films I could watch over and over - yeah my list changes as some movies are released, but then you dig on an oldie and it totally changes the way you look at them.

Take "Bedazzled" for instance - the new version is awful, I wouldn't have even taken a look at the original film had it not been for doing a little research into Cook's work.

Now then, if you go to IMDB and do a lookup on your film, have a peak at the taglines - some of them are pure gold.

Rainy day? Tired of pounding the keyboard? Tell you what - I'll watch one of yours if you watch one of mine -

Based on 1. Storyline 2. Cinematography 3. Concept
