A Little Knowledge: The Greatest Movies of All Time?
Having reached a personal milestone this year (I have equalled my own personal record for the number of movies seen in a cinema in a calendar year), I thought it would be a good time to reflect on what I’ve achieved. I’ve seen a diverse range of movies, with plenty from each of the major types that I tend to see, I’ve lost four pounds during a movie convention and put on half a stone at a film festival, I’ve lost some of the feeling in my legs on a regular basis and I’ve asked embarrassing questions of a variety of famous and important people at Q & A sessions.
I do feel it’s important to make the best of such sessions – there’s few better opportunities to expand your understanding than to talk directly to those people in the industry itself. Where I do find myself feeling rather exposed is in my own understanding and knowledge of movies; while I’ve been a hardened addict for two to three years, and a big fan for a lot longer, it’s only really in the last three years that I’ve started to expand the breadth and depth of my knowledge, and this week I became aware of how much I’ve still got to cover in some areas.
