Please do it properly otherwise what's the point. I spent ages on mine, the least you could do is put them in order.

In order of remembering them, not preference:

My goodness, this list says a lot about me :o Funnily enough, it doesn't really suggest the type of films I watch (i veer towards depressing films or indie type flicks a lot of the time) but the type of films I would watch again and again, or those i LOVED at the time (that time mostly being circa 1986 looking at this!!). Hence the over abundance of musicals, comedy and kiddie flicks!

11) Three Men and a Baby/Little Lady
12) Dirty Dancing
