Hi guys.  I've just had a look through my reviews and realized that my best three alliterations are all 'P's!  I seem to have a strange penchant for 'P'ing haha.
Hook (I'm particularly proud of this one because it has 'P' words with every vowel for second letters) 
Hard Candy
Teeth
Feedback/votes would be much appreciated because I'm new here! |

Good stuff. I even liked the There Will Be Blood pun (not in this category, I know). It is ages since I have liked one of those, as there are so many on the site now. |

Oh thanks. Been through all yours too.
Yeah, got a bit carried away there. My original one is the best, but as you're new I should in fairness point out that it is not original itself but an edit of another review for The Elephant Man; it was just begging for it. |

Oh yeah I just looked. Well it serves that person right for not thinking about their review as much as they should have! haha |

Nice -- almost as nice as mine. 
I believe they were written on the same day, or at least the same day you posted you had a pending X. I haven't voted for it though, because technically there are no 'xebecs' in the film. Xebecs were made in the 16th century, whereas this is set in about 500 BC. I'm also not sure how Xanadu relates to the film. Are you referring to the Chinese place? Or are you referring to the sense of the idyllic place? sparta was by no means ideal. They had so much imperfection and they were always trying to improve. For instance, in an ideal place, there would be no need for baby-killing.

In this I simply name 3 places that make up the Serengeti and list an animal that lives there.
Hhmmm, not really. It's in North-West Tanzania. 
Hmmmm. I'm going to consider deleting this one as it is inaccurate. After looking it up, Serengeti does extend into Kenya and all these countries (or regions) border one of the two (or once did). Still, it is not as good as my other 'Z'.

Ah, interesting. When I looked them up at the time, they seemed to fit the requirements. I'll have to look into more detail (i.e. whether xebecs can be considered a descendant of ancient Mediterranean ships), but I'm happy to accept that they may be categorically wrong. The distinction is at least as close as the many e.g. species inaccuracies on this site; whereas I do care about animals, I don't care about vehicles.

I indeed mean in a metaphorical sense. Sparta was certainly not ideal, but the Spartans (especially as portrayed in the film) pretty much considered it to be. It's their attitude to it to which I am referring. The imperfect babies are not treated as being an actual feature of Sparta, but rather as something to not be allowed into its society in the first place. |

| On the Serengeti one, I'd suggest just transferring it to a different film about zebras. (If it's from after 1997, you'll need to change Zaire to Zambezi or something.) |

I had a quad alliteration approved recently (Morkeleb's most challenging version of the quad that is - the same four letters beginning all four words) and figured the best place to share was here!
The Last Detail
I also dug out some from the past year that didn't appear last time I entered this challenge (over two years ago... can it be?)
Some threes:
Cloverfield
Horton Hears a Who
and its twin A Christmas Carol
And some standard first letter alliterations:
Sophie Scholl
The Silence
The Wrestler |

Falken
"Intestinal Fourtitude."
