Here is a chance for you to list and link all your accolades so that users can see the accolades that a single user has created.
I have started the ball rolling by listing and linking all the accolades I have created.
This is not a discussion thread, if you wanna discuss accolades then can I suggest this thread.
Don't feel obligated to do it, I just thought it would be good if a user could see all the accolades created by a single user.
Example I really like and enjoy Rovark's essential collection accolades but to see them I have to visit Randall or AC's trophy cabinet to access them.
If you wanna post your list here feel free.

Here is my list of the accolades I've made. I wonder what it says about me, as a person? I haven't achieved all of them myself, but I'm working on it!
All That Rex and Much More Eric Garcia is actually a nice Jewish boy, writing some very creative stuff. So far, three of his stories have been made into movies (Okay, so the Rex one was a TV movie that might have spurrned a TV series, but still...). Let's keep a close eye out for him, because his stuff is never going to be boring. (And personally, I'm hoping they'll make a movie out of his "Cassandra French's Finishing School for Boys".)
An Animated Bird-y directed me Director Brad Bird won an Oscar for "The Incredibles" and may be up for another for "Ratatouille". Review his animated films just because these films are incredibly delicious!
As You Wish, Buttercup! Robin Wright Penn got her big break playing Buttercup in "The Princess Bride" which was only her 2nd movie credit. Not bad, that. She's both talented and beautiful, so no wonder so many people love her. If you do, repeat after me: "As You Wish!"
Australian Idol Award On Tuesday, January 22, 2008 the world lost another talented actor to a tragic death. Oscar nominated Heath Ledger was found dead in his home. Please honour his memory by reviewing all of his films. He will be sorely missed! Best of Israel's Films Although it is one of the smallest countries in the world, it has contributed no small amount of excellent films to the industry - and some of them are truly excellent pieces of work. Here are the ones I think are the best. (And no, I haven't included any of the original Lemon Popsicle films nor their American remakes - BLECH!)
Big Five These films have won Oscars in all of the top five categories - Best Picture, Directing, Actor, Actress and Writing. Should be an easy accolade to get, but it's not an easy cinematic achievement!
BIG SCREEN to small screen While Hollywood has found fascination in TV series and turning them into movies, the television industry has also stolen film ideas to make into TV series. Review these films that later became TV series. (And that trophy, is a picture of a big screen TV and a tiny MP4 player!)
Bogart & Bacall On screen and off this was a hot combination. Review all the films they did together (no documentaries or archive footage films).
Boy Meets Girl Sam and Bella Spewack wrote some truly lovely scripts for movies. This lovely couple made an art of comedy and love on screen. One might even say that they were the forerunners of today's romantic comedy movies. Review their movies while having a giggle and a cuddle with your best girl or guy!
Can't Get Any Wilder than this Billy! Billy Wilder, writer, director, and even actor, with 6 Oscars and tens of nominations and wins, was a true legend. Review all the films where he was listed as writer and/or director in this Wilder ride of an accolade.
Chipping In Such a wonderful story, too bad they had to remake it with Peter O'Toole, but the Clunes remake isn't too horrid. Review all these versions of "Goodbye, Mr. Chips".
Cinderella and her stories While there are many films with the name "Cinderella" in their title, here's an accolade that includes only movies that are from the 'original' story we all know and love from the 1950 Disney film. I've added a few slightly different ones, but no porn! Comic Strip Musicals While many comic strips have been turned into feature length movies - both animated and live action - there are only a few which have been made into musicals as well. This is my tribute to those comic strips that not only were considered movie worthy, but were also made easy to dance to!
Everybody Loves Chocolate Well, don't they?
Get the Ponte? Lorenzo da Ponte wrote librettos for three of Mozart's greatest operas - Cosi Fan Tutte, The Marriage of Figaro and Don Giovanni. Here are some of the best film versions of these operas. Happy Heteros Remember when the word "Gay" meant to be happy, merry and glad? These golden oldie films do! Review these films with the word "Gay" in the title where homosexuality isn't involved!
Holding a Torch(wood) for John Barrowman Okay, I know he's gay (and taken), but damn is he ever HOT! While he has made more of a splash on the little screen than on the big one, here are all his movies for you to review.
I want my Maugham-y! William Somerset Maugham was a popular writer in the early part of the 20th Century, and as a result, many of his works have been adapted to the screen. Review these movies and you'll never be begging to see your (William Somerset) Maugham-y again! Kissed by Kate By far, my favourite actress of all times. As beautiful as she was talented, she was a screen legend. Review all of her movies as a true tribute to her talent (not to mention her class, style and love of chocolate!).
LeGreenshu Award Stanley R. Greenberg. They called him the father of the "theater of fact" docudrama genre, but I just called him "Uncle Stan". He was a close friend of my father and I still have copies of the comedy musicals they wrote together for Anshe Emet Synagogue in Chicago when they were young. Back then, they called themselves "Stanster LeGreenshu from Royberg" - If you pull out Stanley Greenberg from that name, you'll find my father's - Leroy Shuster. Perhaps they're writing together again in Heaven! Let's honour Stan's memory by reviewing the movies he wrote or adapted. Martini: Stirred, not shaken! Review all these James Bond comic imitations and spoofs. If you know of others, please let me know. Parfumerie Miklos Laszlo wrote a little play. That play became the movie "Shop Around the Corner". The play was made into a staged musical, called "She Loves Me" which was also made into a movie by the same name. Hollywood made their own musical of the play and called it "In the Good Old Summertime". Lastly, this story was updated to the electronic age and made in to the film "You've Got Mail". Now, I wouldn't say that this qualifies as an obsession, but certainly these varied versions deserve an accolade of their own.
Paper, Rock, Scissors What a great game that is to help us decide hard decisions. Well, I made a decision to make this accolade, including many (but not all) films that have include the words Paper, Rock or Scissors in the title. If you can't decide if you want to work on this one, why not try playing the game with someone? No best two out of three, now!
Real People Musicals All of these musicals have but one thing in common - they're based on the lives (or stories) of real people (including Biblical ones, yes, but I believe they both lived). Quite an interesting collection, don't you think? Review them all and win my admiration!
NEW *added July 5, 2008* Red Hot Damian! Oh, but I do find Damian Lewis to be so hot - not just physically, but his skill as an actor is quickly becoming a thing of envy across the globe. In drama and comedy he's equally comfortable, as he is with any accent you can imagine. Yes, with those sharp blue eyes and fire-engine red hair, he's a real hot one, our Damian. Let's review all his films, shall we? (And too bad there isn't a FWTVR so we can review his hit TV series "Life" as well.)
Simon Says... Neil Simon is one of world's the greatest writers. He's won Oscars, Tonys, a Mark Twain award and even a Pulitzer. He's adapted his plays for the screen as well as written original screenplays. That's why Simon says you should review all his movies!
The BAFTA Award As a tribute to our own BaftaBabe, here's an accolade with all the films that include "babe" in the title. Review them all and see what a beautiful trophy you'll get!
The Firth Accolade Objective: The man with the brooding good looks, Colin Firth wowed us with that swimming scene in "Pride & Prejudice", which inspired Helen Fielding's book "Bridget Jones's Diary", and then cast him as Mark Darcy in the movie! He's done comedy, drama and even some action parts (as well as playing a gay guy a couple of times). This accolade is a tribute to him - but hands off ladies (and gents), apparently Livia Giuggioli got hold of him FIRTH! Thoroughly Marvelous Mili Mili Avital is one of two successful Hollywood actresses born in Jerusalem, Israel - the city I live in. But unlike her compatriot, Natalie Portman, she actually grew up and lived much of her life in Israel. I think that deserves an award (or perhaps she only deserves an award for not marrying David Schwimmer)! Toyland Stories Four films, with the same name, each one slightly different than the next. I've seen them all. Tracy-Hepburn - A Perfect Union It always amazes me that Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn only made nine films together. This loving couple, while never able to marry, seemed content to just be with each other. Perhaps since Kate's passing away on June 29, 2003, they're together again somewhere. This accolade is to honour the memory of this very memorable duo! UB313 Once again, the same story has spurned more than one Hollywood movie. Review all three of them and consider yourself to be stellar! Yippie-Yi-Yay, Ha-Ha! Westerns can be bloody and dramatic, but there are many Westerns that decided not to take themselves seriously, because they're comedies! Review these Western Comedies as you laugh around the campfire, or giggle at a round-up.
So there you have it.
(And I hope you appreciate my pretty trophies, as well.)

Legend: Accolades which are fixed are in blue. Accolades which can change, but not likely drastically are green. Accolades which can change at any time (or are under construction) are red. Number of acheivers includes myself, since I don't have all of them yet.
AFI's 10 More Years, 23 Additions 10 years ago the AFI released their list of the 100 'best' American films of all time, and now they've done it again. Here are the films that are now making their debut on the list. Films: 23 Achievers: 4
AFI's 10 More Years, 23 Deletions 10 years ago the AFI released their list of the 100 'best' American films of all time, and now they've done it again. Here are the films that have dropped off the list. Films: 23 Achievers: 2
Argento Lover Ah, the films of Dario Argento, famed (in some circles, anyway) giallo director. Sometimes good, sometimes bad, but never boring. Review them all and the prize is yours. Films: 17 Achievers: 1
Canon of the Canonized Review this selection of movies about the lives of Catholic saints (1 film per saint only). Films: 6 Achievers: 2
Capra: the Biochemist-Turned-Filmmaker Review the films of Frank Capra, by far the most famous filmmaker to graduate from my alma mater, Caltech. Films: 22 Achievers: 1
Extra Pounds A sampling of films featuring an actor who famously gained and/or lost a significant amount of weight for their role. Films: 9 Achievers: 11
First Impressions The first film you see by a certain director can be very important - it sets the tone for your relationship with their work. Each film in this accolade is the first film I saw by some respected director. If a director doesn't appear, it could be beacuse I haven't seen one of their films yet, or just don't remember which I saw first. Films: 75 Achievers: 0
Hidden Gems These are the films that I adore that somehow slipped through the cracks. They didn't make box office noise when they came out, weren't critical darlings, and (so far as I know) haven't even attracted any cult followings. Do yourself a favor and give them a chance. Films: 14 Achievers: 2
Kon Artist Excuse me, who are you? I'm Satoshi Kon, master of the anime film. Review my works. Films: 4 Achievers: 1
Life of a Saylesman John Sayles is a hard man to pin down. He writes for hire, but his directorial works are always personal, always unpredictable. Films: 15 Achievers: 1
M0rkeleb's Date Movies The movies I've seen at the theater with my beloved. Be warned, though: not all are typical date movies. But that's to be expected from someone whose parents went to 'A Clockwork Orange' for _their_ first date ... Films: 27 Achievers: 1
M0rkeleb's Top 100 Pretty simple theme here ... review my top 100 films (as of when I joined fwfr). Films: 100 Achievers: 1
M0rkeleb's ZZZZZYYYYYXXXXX Prize From FYCTH 211 through FYCTH 237, I FYC'ed reviews from five different films for each letter of the alphabet, from Z to A. Review all 130 films used, and the prize is yours. Films: 130 Achievers: 2
Mathematics at the Movies A sampling of films that feature math and/or at least one mathematician. Films: 10 Achivers: 6
Not Again Here's an interesting list from the Onion AV club: as they put it, '24 great films too painful to watch twice.' Films: 24 Achievers: 1
Not Mathematics at the Movies A companion piece to my Mathematics at the Movies accolade, here are ten movies that have nothing to do with math despite having math terms in their titles (some more arcane than others - I would be deeply surprised if anyone other than me on this site knows what a witness is, mathematically). Films: 10 Achivers: 4
Once More, with Feeling! An accolade for second-guessers everywhere. Each of these films is a remake helmed by the director of the original. Films: 10 Achievers: 1
One Hit Wonders Some directors seem to have just enough talent to make a single terrific film before either fading away, or losing the opportunity to ever make another one. Review these films, each of whose director will be remembered almost entirely for only the film of theirs on this list. Films: 10 Achievers: 2
Paved With Good Intentions In 2000, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck decided to create a contest to give aspiring writer/directors the chance they themselves were given in 1997 with 'Good Will Hunting.' They called it Project Greenlight, and proceded to louse it up in every way possible - choosing sappy made-for-TV ready scripts, emphasizing visual flash over visual storytelling in their choice of directors, demanding a studio mindset on an indie budget, and letting the reality TV show trump the filmmaking. The actual films that resulted are pretty much afterthoughts. Review them, if you can work up the enthusiasm. Films: 3 Achievers: 3
Peter Greenaway's 92 Films Peter Greenaway is one odd duck. On his website he has 92 lists with 92 items apiece. One list contains 92 films, one from each year 1901 to 1992. No explanation of the list is given, and although one would assume they are meant to be his favorite films from each year, there's no indication that he's even seen all of them. Who knows, maybe it's all just one piece of a big puzzle? To obfuscate things further, I have omitted seven films for inscrutable reasons of my own. Films: 85 Achievers: 1
Six Adaptable Authors Like many who want to write screenplays, whenever I read a book, I think about how it would do as a film. Especially when I read a book by Stephen King, Dean R. Koontz, Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Vladimir Nabokov, Martin Amis, or V. C. Andrews. Unfortunately, most of the adaptations from their works thus far have been less than spectacular. Oh well, review them anyway! Note: As of July 2007, in order to make things more convenient, I decided to only include adaptations of novels. Films: 44 Achievers: 2
Synchronicity There's this weird thing that happens sometimes. Two unrelated productions that nevertheless cover very similar material are released within a year of each other. Take a look at these matched pairs (or quatrains) while you wonder "Which 2006 movie about turn-of-the-century stage magicians do I prefer?" Films: 42 Achievers: 2
Ten Not-So-Short Films About Killing Yourself Review this selection of films that in some way involve suicide, either successful or attempted. Just don't get any ideas. Films: 10 Achievers: 4
These Movies Made Me Cry Thename of this one is pretty self-explanatory. Films: 4 Achievers: 5

Everything You Know is Wrong Difficult. Review all the films which have at least one member of the Firesign Theatre in their cast. This one is a moving target. It started at 36 films, but it is growing. This is partially because I've been adding films to the database and partially because Phil Proctor does so much voiceover work. Some people completed it before the recent additions, but I don't remember who.
You kidding? It's me, bucko -- and I have my sights set on any Firesign challenge you ever may bring, [UH-CLEM].
P.S.: Never say "nearly impossible" around me... |

Menagerie 279 films, 0 achievers Objective: Films featuring actors and/or directors with animal names. Homonyms aloud
NB: FYI Wikipedia: "In linguistics, a homonym is, in the strict sense, one of a group of words that share the same spelling and the same pronunciation but have different meanings (in other words, are both homographs and homophones),usually as a result of the two words having different origins. The state of being a homonym is called homonymy. Examples of pairs of homonyms are stalk (part of a plant) and stalk (follow/harass a person), and left (opposite of right) and left (past tense of leave). In a looser non-technical sense, the term "homonym" can be used to refer to words that share the same spelling irrespective of pronunciation, or share the same pronunciation irrespective of spelling � in other words, they are homographs or homophones. In this sense, pairs such as row (propel with oars) and row (argument), and read (peruse) and reed (waterside plant), would also be homonyms."
NB squared: Due to some glitch of self-adjustment, this acc has swollen itself from 204 to 279 ... but I'm working on weeding out some irrelevancies, and also I will cap the acc at a more achievable 200 films. My acc philosophy is that once you've got one of mine, you keep it!

Data correct as of Oct 2004! bifely status 10 films, 4 achievers Just how self-centred and egotistical can a guy get? I used these films to celebrate my promotion to various statuses by writing self-congratulatory status-based reviews, such as 'The Oracle dispenses wisdom', for The Matrix. Yeah, I know, incredibly narcissistic. See if you can find all the relevant reviews in this selection of films (shouldn't be hard - they're filed under 'bife'), and while you're there, go pick up this trophy bife's dog 24 films, 9 achievers Two dozen eggs please.

Review all the films I saw on this trip to earn bife's 5th travel trophy bife's travels 6: Last Amsterdam return 7 films, 5 achievers Gonna be my last return trip to Holland for a while, as I get ready for the big move. Review these movies that eased this long trip to Singapore and back (see if you can guess which two were the 'hotel room flicks') bife's travels 7: Singapore to Portland 10 films, 2 achievers It's been a while - 9 months in Singapore not flying further than Beijing - but it had to happen eventually, and head office called again. Here are the films that got me there and back Biggest Accolade in the World. Ever. 6 films, 12 achievers Plenty of Jumbo, Dumbo and Barbar puns to be had with these. Enjoy Bloopers 4 films, 6 achievers Nothing like a collection of cock ups to pass an hour or two, heh? Review this motley collection to show that you'd never be caught writing 'shcool' in thick white paint Diary of another hapless Bridget 3 films, 13 achievers She can't waitress, she's dangerous around fire and she has a drinking problem. The earliest comedy trilogy? Dirty Dozen 12 films, 5 achievers Twelve all time stinkers (subjective, of course!) ready to receive your wrath .......... Double Dutch 9 films, 3 achievers (and yes, AC was the first. I wrote this accolade, and the challenge to AC, long before I joined the fourum and actually got to know the guy The Dutch are not known for their film-making abilities, but there are a couple of crackers in this small list of Dutch 'classics'. AussieCannuck - if you are reading this - you were the first to complete my other two accolades up to now, this might be more of a challenge for you! Down she goes 7 films, 6 achievers Review these titanic-related films quickly, before you hit an iceberg! Flash 4 films, 9 achievers Can you save the universe? FWFR Cult Film Reviewer 9 films, 16 achievers There are some films that just scream out 'Review me, review me'. Peruse this personal selection of films that have become fwfr cult classics. Chances are, you haven't seen any of them. Chances are, you can think of 10 funny reviews for them in as many minutes. Chances are, all 10 reviews would be based around the same aspect of the film. Chances are, you'll never manage as many reviews for them as Cheese_Ed. But hey, that's not the point. You only need to review each of them once to become an FWFR Cult Film Reviewer! Galactically bad sci-fi 2 films, 14 achievers Ken's review says it perfectly: "Poor man's Star Wars". Thankfully this is a short accolade - imagine they'd made a third!
HBO Vietnam NEW 7 films, no achievers Sad to say on an 11 day trip through somewhere as interesting as Vietnam, I still found time to watch at least half of each of these generally mediocre flicks showing on HBO in various hotel rooms throughout the country. I promise that I did see some of Vietnam too ... Headless 8 films, 20 achievers Keep your head reviewing all these flicks where somebody else loses theirs Ice Man cometh 30 films, 2 achievers Val Kilmer - from the long-haired adventurer Madmartigan in Willow, to the ice cool Iceman in Top Gun JC 10 films, 3 achievers Jesus Christ: Saviour, Singer, Slayer, Superhero, Superstar. Review the films that use and abuse his good name. Knotty Boy 6 films, 7 achievers The various adventures of Pinocchio, Mguyx's Knotty Boy, on land, in space and in bed. Linda's perfect evening 4 films, 4 achievers That's the thing about marriage. Give and take. Unfortunately that means, every now and again, having to sit through the Sissi trilogy from beginning to end. In German. With Dutch subtitles. Pretending to cry. Linda's perfect evening. Aaarrrggghhh. McGregor Madness 6 films, 4 achievers Six reviews about The McGregors, written on June 16, 2006, are tucked away on these film pages. At least they will be, once they've been approved. Do you thing, Merps :) Metal Head 16 films, 2 achievers Yeah, so I wasted my youth listening to AC/DC and Iron Maiden, headbanging on a Friday night and wondering why I couldn't get a girl. Prove you're better than me by reviewing all these metal related films. They're about heavy metal, they feature heavy metal stars, they are metal documentaries or they just sound like they should be about heavy metal. Oh, and The Wall. Odd man out 5 films, 8 achievers Spot the film that doesn't doesn't belong. Four films, all in need of extra reviews, one of them clearly doesn't belong here. Are you the genious that can figure out which one it is? One Joke Wonders 8 films, 9 achievers Hey, I know, I've got a great idea for a film. Why don't I take xxxx, put him in scenario yyyyy with zzzzzz, that's a great concept. No, I don't need any other jokes in the film, that'll do. Every joke in the film can be based around the concept! Brilliant, huh. What is actually surprising, is that Cool Runnings pulls it off properly - 1 joke, funny in 30 different places Oracle Road 39 films, 8 achievers Everyone has to start somewhere, and in the case of our community of Oracles and Dieties, this is exactly where they started. Included in this list is the first film reviewed by each of our 1000+'ers. An interesting selection of first choices from our most prolific writers, there's good films, bad films, good first reviews, bad first reviews. Way to go all of you. (ps - this accolade was established well before I got my wings - it was never meant to be a self-tribute!). Last update: elchico Pooh 37 films, 2 achievers Compliments of Cheese Ed, come on over for a pot of honey Porn Star 3 films, 27 achievers Review these 'Life story of famous porn star' movies, while making sure all the while to give the appearance of never having seen any of them. Red death 4 films, 16 achievers Tomatoes. That kill. Review them, before they attack you too.
Remember, remember 10 films, 0 achievers the fifth of november. The Top 10 voted reviews for the 5th of november, 2006 were for these 10 films. Lamhasuas was at number one with his review for Girl With a Pearl Earring, 7 other reviewers shared the Top 10 places with him. Shockingly, bife wasn't among them Ruben 21 films, 2 achievers In honour of Ruben Liam, 1 day old as I write, review all these films 'starring' (or at least featuring) a Ruben to earn the most coveted FWFR accolade, The Ruben Award. Rugrats 3 films, 10 achievers According to Lipshitz, you have to review these Save the Whale 3 films, 11 achievers You could join Greenpeace, grow a beard and live in a tree, or you could just review all three 'Free Willy' films. She's a doll 3 films, 9 achievers No really, she is. So they all had scrambled egg for breakfast 8 films, 9 achievers Review this fine selection of Grade A crackers, compliments of noncentz's ability to dig up the most intriguing collections of films Star Wars .... Almost 9 films, 9 achievers Yes, that's right .... they're 'almost Star Wars'! Stinking Sequel 9 films, 6 achievers Review this dire selection of sequels to great films. There are plenty of other bad '2's out there, but this selection draws my particular wrath for being follow-ups to such good originals. And no arguments - I've heard them all before - Terminator is a great film, T2 is nothing more than a special effects binge that undermines everything great in the first film. The Dutchman 10 films, 5 achievers Have a go at reviewing the best and the worst from Dutch director Paul Verhoeven, starting with his Dutch classics and moving on to his Hollywood days. The Fwfr Oscars 6 films, a paltry 10 reviewers. Come on gang, this one's a 'must' Films starring or involving FWFR reviewers. How cool is that? It's not a big accolade - so no excuses for not completing it - it should be a requirement for all of us. For anyone not in the know: Roll - starring Top 5 reviewer and (ex!) accolade king, AussieCanuck. The 10 Minute Run!!!, directed by and starring GHcool. The Soldier, starring ex-fwfrer Hairybooger. Twisted Sheets - with the irrespresible (if fourum-shy) '5-cats' Queenofcats, The Corporation, which our good friend sludge was very surprised to see himself in, and now introducing Checkmate, starring produced by panda, who has at least managed to review his own films (and also starring GHc)! The Kai Man 18 films, 2 achievers Get your Kai-hat on, go off and review all these movies featuring a 'Kai'. It might not be worth it. The Other Fab four 10 films, 3 achievers Eh-oh! Time and relative dimension in space 4 films, 8 achievers Knock knock. Who's there? Doctor. Doctor Who? That's right! Doctor Who, Romana, K9, The Tardis, talking, exterminating rubbish bins. Unbeatable fun. Top 10 10 films, 24 achievers The movies that inspired the 10 greatest fwfr reviews ever (as voted by the citizens of fwfr land). See if they can inspire you too. Top Toaster 3 films, 8 achievers Brave Little Toaster and his friends, Kirby, Radio and Lampy, invite you to join them on their (mostly wonderful) adventures. These oft-forgotten animations may not be up to the technological standards of today's offerings, but they deserve an accolade in honour of the sheer brilliance of the concept of movies based around living, talking household appliances. Total Parenthood 10 reviews, 5 achievers Review these films to prove you really are a worthy of the coveted 'FWFR Total Parenthood' accolade. Be warned, though, it doesn't matter whether they call you dad, daddy, papa, father, fatty, when they get to 13, they'll still hate you! Tribute to bife's tributes 27 films, 4 achievers Films containing my "tribute reviews" to fwfr reviewers, including one to myself (the shame!). Review them all, and find the hidden tributes in each of them, to earn your 'Tribute to bife's tributes' award Turkish Delight 7 films, 8 achievers Turkish remakes of blockbuster films, often mixing footage from the original film with world-famous Turkish special effects. You know you want to. Unnecessarily Long Titles Award 12 films, 4 achievers How many words should a film title have? A punchy 1 or 2? An explanatory 3 or 4? Maybe a verbose 5 or 6? A more than sufficient 7, 8 or 9? 10 is just self-indulgent, and anything so long it throws out your fwfr reviews page formatting is worthy of being honoured in a very special accolade! Unfortunately I just discovered that there is a size limit to the length of an accolade title - and it's not a large limit! We all love bife 8 films, 8 achievers We all love bife. Well, a few of you do anyway. Review those films that have been used in tributes to me, to prove that you love me too! To date, I only have a few tribute reviews, and only one that refers to me by name, but that's okay, I never wanted to be popular anyway! Edit: Got so tired of waiting for you all to love me, that I had to resort to writing tributes to myself. See if you can find them Welcome to the Hood 8 films, 4 achievers Swashbuckling English (occassionally American!) legend faces down the rich and powerful oppressors of the people, sword in hand and girl in tow. Great stuff. Whacky murders! 7 films, 18 achievers When inanimate objects, fruits or bodily secretians go bad .... Woof woof 5 films, 5 achievers What's that you say Lassie? There's a man trapped in the woods under the old elm tree, which was blown over during yesterday's storm. Clever dog, Lassie. |

I have made 17 Accolades thus far:
Everything You Know is Wrong Difficult. Review all the films which have at least one member of the Firesign Theatre in their cast. This one is a moving target. It started at 36 films, but it is growing. This is partially because I've been adding films to the database and partially because Phil Proctor does so much voiceover work. Some people completed it before the recent additions, but I don't remember who.
You kidding? It's me, bucko -- and I have my sights set on any Firesign challenge you ever may bring, [UH-CLEM].
P.S.: Never say "nearly impossible" around me...
Congratulations on re-achieving it! |

I've only ever set up 16 accolades in several years here, and not yet achieved all of them. I'm working on it.
Here they are:
Beineix from Heaven Objective: Watch a set of stylish French movies from Jean-Jacques Beineix, and review them. This accolade will be updated from time to time. 2 films, 10 achievers, trophy.
Controversy All these movies were selected by the Times newspaper in 2006 as their top 20 most controversial movies of all time. Cause a stir, upset a few people, and review them all. 20 films, 4 achievers
Four films reward Objective: All these movies are one quarter of a quadrilogy (or tetralogy, if you prefer). Sixteen words or less are needed to review each set - go on, you know you want to. Suggestions for other sets of 4 are welcome. Thanks to TitanPa, Salopian and Demonic for their assistance. 72 films, 0 achievers, trophy.
Matt Finish Objective: Review all the movies of the action man that is known as Matt Damon. 52 films, 1 achievers, trophy.
Objects of Desire Objective: These movies all include an object of desire as nominated by fellow Fwiffers. Mine is Michele Pfeiffer in "Batman Returns". Tell me who or what yours is, and it'll be added to the list. 8 films, 2 achievers.
