Interesting choices, and I can see how National Treasure would be an all round favourite, and all the others are great too, and some of my favourites; but oh so many superb movies  that didn't make it!


More here about it with a video clip and awesome scenes from some of the movies that didn't make it.

http://www.reelzchannel.com/person/92805/nicolas-cage

There are a couple of Nic and Claire interview clips there too, with more of the same, but also some new neat stuff.

joyThankyou for that extra info Lady True! I have edited in the video in the first post! action

I agree about the ones that didn't make it, but as you know I have never ever beeen able to narrow it down to a top ten, or twenty even!!

What makes me so excited about this one is that it was voted for by the public at large, not just an individual writer or blog preference! jumpingjoy

i just want to say... well done Meg! starry this is so no an easy thing to do!

i completely agree with your preface, I would add for me that because there are different genres it is so difficult to compare...how for instatnce can you compare Leaving Las Vegas with The Sorcerer's Apprentice! I love them both, equally! I have been fiddling with the whole filmography, moving things up and down and I am not happy with it still! chickendance
