A Best Film List By Alphabet

Self-Reliant Filmmaking posted their Best Film List, By Alphabet. There seem to be some rules.

1. Pick one film to represent each letter of the alphabet.*

2. The letter “A” and the word “The” do not count as the beginning of a film’s title, unless the film is simply titled A or The, and I don’t know of any films with those titles.

3. Thanks to some clarification by The Siren, movies are stuck with the titles their owners gave them at the time of their theatrical release.

4. Films that start with a number are filed under the first letter of their number’s word. 12 Monkeys would be filed under “T.”

5. Link back to Blog Cabins in your post so that I can eventually type “alphabet meme” into Google and come up #1, then make a post where I declare that I am the King of Google.

6. If you’re selected, you have to then select 5 more people.

Sound like fun so here goes:

All the Real Girls
Bottle Rocket
Capturing the Freidmans
Donnie Darko
E.T.
Fight Club
Grand Canyon
Hustle and Flow
Ice Storm (The)
JFK
King of Comedy
Last of the Mohicans (The) 1992
Miller’s Crossing
Nightmare Before Christmas (The)
Old Boy
Pulp Fiction
Queen (The)
Run Lola Run
Short Cuts
Trainspotting
Usual Suspects (The)
Vera Drake
Wall•e
XX/XY
You Can Count On Me
Zodiac or Zathura

This was much harder than I thought. As soon as you decide on one movie you like with a particularly popular letter then you will think of 3 others. And then there’s the letters Z and X. They present their own problems. And also there are some letters where you really can’t think of anything! If you are a movie buff then give this little exercise a try.
