1. Look at the top-rank of your SECOND PAGE. Pick ONE film you think deserves to be on your first page - as sorted by votes received.

2. Isolate that film* and present the link in this thread WITH ...

3. AN EXPLANATION OF WHY YOU LIKE IT.

Who knows, your wish may come true

* It's been covered before how to do this, but here's a step-by-step recap:
1. Go to the page featuring everyone's reviews of your chosen film.
EITHER
2. From the drop-down display options choose My Reviews Only.

OR
2. Select Reviewer Name for the page display.
3. Find your own review and count which number it is on the page.
4. Up at the top url display you'll see something like this:
http://www.fwfr.com/display.asp?sort=2&dir=2&id=1698&Mode=&Rows=1&Start=11
5. See where it says Start=11 ... change that numeral to whatever you counted in step 3, and press go.
6. Your new page should now start with your chosen review.
7. NOW, to eliminate all the other reviews still showing, go up to the url display again and see where it says Rows=100.
8. Change that to Rows=1


3. Your new page should now have only your chosen review displayed. Copy that url and use it as your link for this thread.

HAVE FUN EVERYONE!!

Multiplicity stars Michael Keaton who is cloned three times.

I like this one because it's not immediately obvious, not because it's some obscure pun, but you do have to know that clones - while retaining the DNA of the original - show various degrees of mutation or re-arrangement. That's exactly what happens in the film with some very funny consequences. I think this FWFR encapsulates the phenomenon, and I hope you do too!

You've Got Mail

Aside from mine here, there are only three other reviews on this movie that refer to this being a modern version of "Parfumerie". Rovark has one, Whippersnapper has another and someone named Elliott has the last one. Unfortunately Elliott's review is "57th remake of 'Parfumerie'." which is inacurrate, since it is only the fourth remake, that I know of. What I like about my review is that the reference is subtle and refers to the other non-musical movie version of the play "Shop Around the Corner".

(PS to Bafta - I'm finding it hard to find reviews on my second page that I think are worthy of being on my first page. There are far more reviews on my second lowest page that given only a vote or two would move them many pages up.)

When hockey becomes golf

I like this review because it's a different view of the oft used "Iceman Cometh" review and because it's cute. That's all.

A slightly Fawkesward review? V for yourself.

I had to delete several reviews for this film before I came up with one that I felt was decent. I like this one because not only does it emphasize the importance of that day (November 5th) to the Weaving's character, but it also is written in a style that was still in use at the time of the actual Guy Fawkes.

'I Cover the Waterfront'--Claudette cold, bare.

An accurate review (early in the film we see Claudette Colbert emerging from the Pacific near San Francisco early one chilly morning). She is cold. She is bare. Claudette: cold, bare.
