Thinking about this post properly brings it all into perspective. Just because a film is ranked 450 for example, doesn't mean you don't like it. You actually love it, but it just doesn't seem like it when it's apparently so low.

I love/really like them all really - I'd probably have to make a Top 1000 to really get into mediocre and terrible territory.

And a top 5k before you reached Adamson territory.

I don't know how you guys even get near a list. It's like making a list of your favourite children.

Bravo to you all, some really interesting choices here but all I get is a headache trying to write a list.

[SharonLynette]

How long have I got? I'm already getting a headache trying to think of number one....it's so difficult, I don't want to be held to it.....time to go stare aimlessly at my collection and think about which would I save first in the event of a fire...are we doing twenty or ten?

Anything up to 100 is fair game really (the more the better as the list should hopefully be more diverse). I think around about the 15th October would be a good time for a cut off as it gives me opportunity to tally up all the results and post them before Halloween.
