Ok Gents, lets get the ball rolling. I want this out, quick. Preferably by end of this week. Lets not look for perfection. I realise since many people are not aware of what's playing and there is bound to be confusion once they look at 157 titles, we can be enormously helpful. It would be a good idea to keep it a mix of eclectic and contemporary. Start throwing those names NOW.

127 Hours
A Screaming Man
Honey
If I Want to Whistle, I Whistle
The Hunter
The King's Speech

Guys, I'm going ahead with the 10 below for one reason or the other, but mostly because they will be easier to sell to potential readers.


127 Hours
A Screaming Man
Bal
If I want to whistle I whistle
The Hunter
The King's Speech
The Way back
Uncle Bonmee who can recall his past lives
When we Leave
Winter's Bone

Does anyone want to write this or portions of it?

Bump, less than a week to go and we dont have this on the website.

127 Hours - Danny Boyle is not the only reason to watch this film, recently announced Oscar host James Franco gives the performance of his life.

The King's Speech - If last years A Single Man didn't get Colin Firth the Oscar, this year he makes sure he gets it when he plays a speech impaired King George VI

Winter's Bone - A young girls' struggle to find her father who might be in trouble but has more taxing things to worry about.

THE HUNTER
Director Rafi Pitts continues the new wave of Iranian cinema with a meditation on revenge and familial loss, deceptively parlaying the political chaos of his country under the guise a thriller. A must-see.
