Really? I need to see that before I die?

God help me!
Lol. That's a great book! I read it at the age of 16 and it played a big role in developing my interest in world cinema.

As for watching Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom, please don't. It's pretty nasty. Somehow I don't think it was the film Father Bob was talking about here:

The only list I could find includes all films that have ever been included in any edition, so my figure is from a list of just under 1,100. Anyway, here's my breakdown:

1895 - 1929 (silent era): 13
1930 - 1949: 25
1950s: 27
1960s: 60
1970s: 53
1980s: 35
1990s: 73
2000s: 59
2010s: 11

Total: 356

Still a long way to go! :)

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Was good we really enjoyed it - light but with a dark message - music was fantastic wasn't it 8)
