Lads, a lot of ye will remember this. I think the last time we did it was 2011, and the one before that was 2007. I must see if there is some correlation with Rugby World Cups. Anyway, it will be interesting to see if any new movies have come into the consciousness.

Rules are simple.

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 fifth.

That's It. Easy as.

I will close the nominations at 5 pm on Friday 11th of December, and will publish the countdown up to the 22rd of December.

Let's get going....

Remember it well. I'm going to do it blind and not look at my previous offerings. I would be interested to see if there are any movies from the last 4-5 years that make the top 10. Doubt it.
