I have decided to bend the rules ever so slightly and change my entry for X, as while X-Men was a fun movie, it was a “no-alternative” choice at the time of posting. This morning a more worthy sci-fi flick came to mind: David Cronenberg’s eXistenZ (1999).

Thanks MM. Yes, it was X-Men or nothing – though I did rack my brain for a foreign title…

Thanks, Tony – I actually didn’t see I was tagged until now but just tackled the meme last night. We’ve got two overlaps: Waterfront and (inevitably) X-Men. good call on Seduced and Abandoned though.

Sam, great to see Kwaidan there. I couldn’t pick it, as it was too slow for me at times, but it may be the most gorgeous film I’ve seen, so that compensates somewhat, no?

[...] Someone recently had the idea of alphabetizing a movie list. (Some others are here, here, and here.) I’m not really sticking to the strict rules. And this isn’t definitive, etc. etc. [...]

Thanks DCD. It will be most interesting to see how this all turns out.

Hi! Sam,
Another nice list of 26 films!…some of the films on your list I have watched, others I haven’t watched yet!
Sam, your job is finish!…once you list your 26 favorite films and list 5 others blogs.(They can either fulfill it! or ignore it!) hmmm…I planned to tag T.S. and Dean (Treadway), but both of them completed their list of 26 films before I could even tag them!…I already emailed Fletch (The creator of the Alphabet Meme) and asked him can they both still be tagged!
Take care!

That’s quite a list Tony. I was thrilled to see TROUBLE IN PARADISE there too. I submitted my own list to Rick at Coosa Creek Cinema, as per DCD’s urging, knowing full well that we have Allan’s list here to acknowledge your own tagging. But outside of Coleman’s Corner, I simply don’t know who else to tag, as everyone has been spoken for at this point.

Allan Fish’s list:

Alexander Nevsky
Bad Day At Black Rock
Casablanca
Dead of Night
Excalibur
Festen
Gone With the Wind
His Girl Friday
In A Lonely Place
Jaws
Kwaidan
LA Confidential
Manhattan
No Country For Old Men
Out of the Past
Pinocchio
Queen Christina
