Top ten films - pick your favourite
Dec 28 2007 by Chris Robinson, The Journal
EVERYONE has a favourite film.
Whether it’s on hand to watch again or again, or perhaps it made a big impact on your life, a person’s number one choice almost always has a personal meaning.
It was up to filmmaker Patrick Collerton to reveal his top 10 films to Journal readers.
And the Emmy-award winning Newcastle-born director opted for a North-East classic in the form of The Likely Lads, stating: “It is just such a good representation of a wet weekend in Whitley Bay.”
And now you can vote for your favourite film as part of our Top 10 series, with a choice of old and new films, well-known classics and some more obscure choices nominated by our readers.
For details of how to vote – via text, the internet, post or email – see the separate panels.
Voting will close at midnight on December 30.
