GAA Board Fab 50 Movies - The Reawakening

[AZOffaly]

Hi All,

The last one I found was from 2007, so let's see if we've changed since then. The process, to remind ye, is as follows.

1. Nominate your 5 favourite movies of all time in order of preference from 1st down to 5th, and if there is multiple 'versions' (like Miracle on 34th Street) please put down the relevant year of the version you like. If you put down a movie series like 'Star Wars' without putting the specific movie you mean, I will take the first one released. In this case Star Wars IV - A New Hope.

I will assign 5 points to your first choice, 4 for second, 3 for third, 2 for second and 1 for first.

That's It. Easy as.

That's all for now. I will close the nominations at 5 pm on Friday 9th of December, and will publish the countdown up to the 23rd of December.

Let's get going....

My most hated film of all time, such a disappointment after the best book I've ever read. Absolutely destroyed by this film, the chief doesn't resemble his character in the book at all.
