meme
Meme thing that actually got me thinking, and took a while to do
Wandered across this when reasearching for an essay made me think, how much do we rely on other peoples judgements for the films we see, out of 250 of the top films on imdb ive only seen 67, so it would suggest not alot, I mean of the first 5 films Id run off as facourties theres only one in that list, though granted some great films. I dont know whether this irritated me cause it missed out what I consider to be some great films and over rated others or simply the fact that I havent seen that many. Basically the idea is highlight the ones that youve seen. great films.
