While I agree that my list of tags is getting very long and cumbersome, I feel like it's the best way to direct people to old material.

And while I've been helping them in that respect, I have yet to donate. :-(<br /><br />Don't know if you've heard enough to get this yet, but Adam is absolutely in love with Atonement. He also ranked Never Let Me Go as his favorite of that year, and given that this has Knightley as well as the themes that attract you, I'm sure I'd find a passionate and eloquent piece about that film on your blog if I looked for it.

Highly enjoyed it, even if I was disappointed they left Otto of "A Fish Called Wanda" out of the Top 5. He'd be my #1.<br /><br />I often think about my own taste in film and how so many of my all-time favorites share a particular something in common. "Last of the Mohicans." "Million Dollar Baby." "Atonement." "From Here To Eternity." "Bonnie & Clyde." "Titanic." "Black Swan." I think you see where I'm going. And so I wonder, am I obsessed with death? But I just think that tragedy - especially romantic tragedy - makes for emotionally resonant film.<br /><br />Much how if you take criminals and then throw ineptness in there with them, how can it not be entertaining?Nick Priggehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17895803287589438170noreply@blogger.com
