My friend
Colin has recently put together an alphabetical list of his favourite movies,
so I thought I'd respond with my own A to Z, running all the way from Spike
Jonze’s amazing Adaptation, to David Fincher’s, um, zippy Zodiac. It was tough to come up with answers for a
few of the letters, particularly J (I like Juno, but I wouldn’t normally
include it amongst my all-time favourites), Q, X (this was the toughest of the
lot – I was basically restricted to X-Men and X-Files movies) and V. Basically, my answers
for all the letters which score highly in Scrabble can be taken with a pinch of
salt.
A: Adaptation
B: The Big
Lebowski
C: Chinatown
D: Dazed and
Confused
E: Ed Wood
F: The Fly
G: Goodfellas
H: Heathers
I: The Ice
Storm
J: Juno
K: The
Killing
L: L.A.
Confidential
M: Mulholland

N: No Country
for Old Men
O: One Flew
Over the Cuckoo's Nest
P: Pulp
Fiction
Q:
Quadrophenia
R: Rushmore
S: The
Shining
T: Taxi
Driver
U: The Usual
Suspects
V: Videodrome
W: Welcome to
the Dollhouse
X: X-Men 2

Count On Me
