This Friday’s Top Ten features a two-for-one offer. Every year, a list is compiled of the most-liked scripts currently in circulation. The list is put together following a survey of over 500 production company and film financiers executives, who vote for their favourite as-yet-unmade screenplays.

The animated blockbuster Frozen (which is still storming the charts, making a total of $1,072,402,000 since its release in November) has now snuck onto the list of the Top Ten highest grossing films of all time.

In the run up to the BAFTAs, I had a quick flick back through the past winners of the Best Film Award. There have been some cracking films over the years – from Bridge Over the River Kwai to Ben-Hur, Lawrence of Arabia and My Fair Lady – but I have limited my list to … Continue reading
This week’s Top Ten is courtesy of Cameron Crowe (via Empire magazine) – a list of his favourite musical moments in film. And while he starts off by pointing out that “the first thing to remember about any top ten list is that it is not to be trusted”, it is at least a nice snapshot into his … Continue reading
