Please tell me someone accidentally omitted "North By Northwest" from the list.![]()
Lists wink They only show what people are currently interested in. A list of 100 greatest pop songs will show the top dominated by boy and girl bands with David Bowie somewhere down the list and possibly the Who not even on it at all! I mean there's 2001: A Space Odyssey at 27 and Shawshank Redemption at 3 [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img] "Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this...I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill and think things over."
"NORTH BY NORTHWEST" is on the list Clive, its just been accidentally spelt "HARD DAYS NIGHT". Otherwise how else would that have got on?.
