Hmm, has Baumer ever seen Rocky? That's probably a good question but to be honest I don't think it would be Baumer's kind of film. Cast and director are not is cup of tea.

ANd this was going to be my season Sorry to see you go. Hope it isn't permanent

Thanks for the reminder, I shall remove them from my shortlist immediately.

FYC: Park Chan-wook http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTBYRAFNruSxtAaHVZhGvOcQqpjo1RCg0FCzsye-y3AY7voS8OF Bong Joon Ho: http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT_TeHYX58XrTmPWKxnPXLJ8u8icsrh_MEjA7KQ2hNlq3m3y9n8 Kim Ki-Duk: http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQdzBMcQPQzh6iPs4pQC4Tpk8E74btBoSR3HGNxeGB6vBLYP9wHEg

The one's that I never realised for some unholy reason till years later: Samuel Jackson - Jurassic Park Kirsten Dunst - Interview with the Vampire Nathon Fillion - Saving Private Ryan

THE FINAL IS HERE! ........Films v Goffe......... Q1: 64.93 (0) vs (1) 76.91 Slow start for both in this eagerly anticipated final but Goffe gets first blood and takes a tentative 1-0 lead. Q2: 93.24 (3) vs (0) 70.72 But Films bites back hard with our first big score and surges into the lead 3-1 Q3: 20.60 (0) vs (2) 86.18 Disaster score for Films, he lets his lead slip and its all tied at 3-3 Q4: 58.96 (1) vs (0) 00.00 This time it is Goffe's turn to have the disaster and Films is back in the lead at 4-3 ahead Q5: 77.50 (0) vs (2) 81.74 A close question but Films falls just on the wrong side of 80% and Goffe on the right side allowing him to take the lead at the halfway point. It's 5-4 to Goffe. Q6: 81.43 (2) vs (0) 70.36 This is looking like it will go down to the wire. Like two Heavyweight champions dealing blow after blow, yet again the lead changes hands and its Films with the advantage at 6-5 Q7: 96.83 (4) vs (1) 80.54 Is that the question that wins the league? Our first 4 point score of the final and even though Goffe manages to salvage a point its looking grim for him now as with just 3 questions remaining Films leads 10-6. Q8: 31.03 (0) vs (1) 53.13 Goffe pulls a point back and closes the gap to 10-7 but he's going to need more than single point victories to catch up. Q9: 74.55 (0) vs (1) 75.00 By the narrowest of margins Goffe wins the question and another point is cut out of the deficit. It's 10-8 to Films with 1 question to go! It's going down to the wire. Q10: The final question of the season and the situation is simple. Regardless of the other's score,iIf Films scores 95%, he wins the league. If Goffe scores below 80% Films wins the league. Goffe must win by 2 clear points which means he must first and foremost win the question, but he must also put one bonus point milestone between him and Films in the process. For question 10, Films scored:

not in my lifetime but Lisa has mentioned the plan to make one many times

OK the estimates are finally actuals so expect results in the next 12 hours

My Fair Lady made my bottom 6 worst films but it got edged out of the top 5 by the English Patient

Looks like Oldboy's push for the top 10 is over

Okay provisional top 25 if I do not see any other films before deadline (or rewatch any of the ones in the list and change my opinion) 1- 1991 - "The Silence of the Lambs" 2- 1994 - "Forrest Gump" 3- 1976 - "Rocky"’ 4- 1993 - "Schindler’s List" 5- 1995 - "Braveheart" 6- 2010 - "The King's Speech" 7- 1943 - "Casablanca" 8- 1997 - "Titanic" 9- 1988 - "Rain Man" 10- 2008 - "Slumdog Millionaire" 11- 1957 - "The Bridge on the River Kwai" 12- 1962 - "Lawrence of Arabia" 13- 1999 - "American Beauty" 14- 1981 - "Chariots of Fire" 15- 1975 – One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest 16- 1956 - "Around the World in 80 Days" 17- 1959 – Ben Hur 18- 1968 - "Oliver!" 19- 2000 - "Gladiator" 20- 1998 – Shakespeare in Love 21- 1954 – On the Waterfront 22- 1990 – Dances with Wolves 23- 1939 – Gone with the Wind 24- 1982 – Gandhi 25- 1973 – The Sting And the worst... 1989 - "Driving Miss Daisy" - One of the most boring things I have ever seen and its a shame I forgot about this when making my list for Iceroll's vote. 2003 - "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" - Won purely because the first two films were amazing and the Academy held off awarding them so it could do the end trilogy clean sweep thing. 2002 - Chicago - In general I hate most musicals - this is a massive example of why 1965 – The Sound of Music - The original reason I hated musicals, this was shoved down my throat so many times and each time it was worse than before 1996 – The English Patient - Just plain dull

I'll put a list together, Hunger Games and Harry Potter both won best picture right?

Before 2013 no Korean film had ever broken 9 million admissions without going on to break 11m. The Attorney could be the 3 time it happens this in a year - all Song Kang Ho.

I don't know whether to feel confident or dispondant about my top 15 predictions as its looking like I could end up with 12 correct out of 15 if Mitty gets its arse in gear but on the other hand out of those 12 I have 7 where my prediction is wrong by over 60M of which 2 are wrong by over 100M
