This is what I’m thinking.
I haven’t even attempted my list yet, it’s daunting.
I bashed 20 together without much thought. Will punt em in just before the deadline.

Is a concert film acceptable on this list?
You’ll have to ask the boss 
Concert films
- Documentaries
- Not
0 voters
I intend to vote but wanted to watch a rewatch some because most of the ones that come to mind I’ve not seen in years. Probably won’t have time so it’ll just be about 5 ones that I really love. Can see the logic in sacking it off if there’s not much interest.
Depends on the amount of chat and backstage stuff.

I am up for doing another list of some kind tho.
A few ideas:
- Best British & Irish TV Programmes
- Best Film Performances
- Best Directors
- Best Humans
Happy to listen to any other suggestions.
Sherman’s March is my favourite film of all time. Sort of.

The Thin Blue Line
Grizzly Man
I Am Trying to Break Your Heart: A Film About Wilco
The Arbor
Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr. (Erroll Morris, about an executioner)
Dig!

Ex Libris: The New York Public Library
Anvil! The Story of Anvil
Spookers (about an NZ haunted house and the workers)
The King of Kong
My Winnipeg
Man on Wire
Football as Never Before (like Zidane only with Best. And no Mogwai).
Enron
Man With A Movie Camera
808 (as in Roland)
