Lists
For years now I've hated timelines. Not general timelines, like, say, the timeline of a historic event, but STUPID timelines. Especially pictoral ones. Especially ones in The Sun, or Heat (alright I read it in the dentist).

So, for example, The Sun, neglecting for a moment their usual gritty journalism, had a timeline of Victoria Beckham's hairstyles over the years.

The timeline went thus: 1994..1997...2006, Sept 2007, Nov 2007, Jan 2008, March 2008.

That's a SHIT timeline. 3 years between the first two pictures, bloody 9 years between the next two and then three within months apart.

It fair makes my blood boil. They should have done it yearly . That's a fair timeline. Yes I know, I'm not quite right. But we all get irritated by something.

Anyway over the years my hatred of timelines has evolved into a general dislike of lists as a whole. Especially nonsensical ones. Like, someone listing to you, verbally, what they have done that day, like you give a toss ('and then I put some laundry in, and I used that new comfort creme, and then at ten past, no, twenty past, the phone rang and it was one of those window men, so anyway at half past I...ARGH SHUTUPIDONTCARE) or seeing top 10 most tasty ice cream flavours on a website, I don't care, I still like Rum N Raisin, I don't care vanilla is no1, it is boring icecream, boring and pointless, like YOUR STUPID LIST.

This leads me onto this QOTW. By all means tell us WHY you like a film, what IMPACT it had on you, as a person, what SIGNIFICANCE it holds. Make us understand, because films are a matter of opinion and QOTW is meant to be you know...not a load of lists.

I hate lists :( (and timelines).

Edit: my favourite film is Planes, Trains and Automobiles because John Candy was an absolute joy to watch and because when I was little I had a top-loading Betamax and this was the only non-recorded-off-the-telly film I owned. When I met my fiance, he had it on double video-CD. Clearly he was the one for me.

Reasons I hate lists
1. They're very unimaginative
3. I'm not too sharp on numbers
2. The difference in quality between two items on a list is not necessarily proportional to where they are on the list.
