Ok bad example but allow me to elaborate. During the said 2 weeks I made an effort to watch my entire 100 favourite films list. Watching them all in one spell allowed me the opportunity to reflect as you say on what I personally felt constituted great cinema without certain films being deminished due to loss of memory. It was a very rewarding experience and would recommend it to all filmbuffs. The result was that I made some significant changes to the list and at no time did I feel as though I was labouring through but quite the contrary. This is however not the norm and I certain don't do this all the time but if I do I always endevour to ensure the quality of whatever I'm watching. I suppose this is one of the joys of not having to do this as a job, I get to watch what I want and not what is on latest release. As for reflecting ,discussing & writing: I do plenty of that but there are still many hidden treasures waiting to be discovered and it's those little rewards that make it all worthwile.:-)

Please include me also this year
