(I've seen at least half of them - which makes me half a blaggy film buff i guess).

It woulda been more interesting if i'd copied his justifications for each choice. But i'm not gonna do that ;). Feel free to play guess-the-justification tho ;)

What? No Breakfast Club, or Braveheart...no Flash Gordon or Rocky? No Mel Brooks films? Boooooo...Booooooooo;)

Hey, Armageddon's in there. It's his 'cor blimey' catch-all ;)

I read the article, they've hit the hot spots mostly i suppose. Suprised Breathless ins't in there.

Armageddon? Er...
