The IMDb Top 250 - 365 challenge - Page 13

Most should be available from online rental places or maybe there are cheap copies floating around on E-bay?

Alternatively there's the shiver me timbers approach.

Here's a few that I think I might have trouble getting hold of.

#44 M(1931)
#48 Double Indemnity(1944)
#71 City Lights(1931)
#79 Modern Times(1936)
#106 Ladri di biciclette(1948)(Bicycle Thieves)

That's just a quick browse through the first part of the list.

I haven't checked any online rental places yet, got a 3 month trial at Lovefilm to try and get through.

I doubt I know anyone that has copies of those they can lend me.

I'll have a browse through Lovefilm listing at the weekend and see what they have.

At this moment I have 93 of the list either on disc or on sky box so still quite a few to get hold of.

EDIT: OK just had a quick look at Lovefilm and they have all 5 of the titles I've listed above

I'll have to sort out my free 3 month trial.

M I could lend you if you want, no idea what it is like as I was only given it recently. There may be a few more on the list I could help with but not any of the other four on your shortlist I'm afraid.

I can get the first 4, I know that. I am sure that The Bicycle Thieves is available too.

You have "as of todays date" on it, but your blog isn't printing a timestamp.

that was the challenge, as set on new years day

the top 250 as of todays date now will probably be different won't it?

EDIT - how's that now

NokkonWud · 29-01-2009, 20:23

That's better. The problem was for anyone else looking at your blog wouldn't know when the 365 days started, that's all

Back to the Future and Little Miss Sunshine both down, BttF is still one of the greatest movies ever, the latter for me is good, but no more than good.
