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!!

I like this one for Evita because it's not often you get the chance to weave some critical acumen into a FWFR.

I've always wondered if people properly understood the double meaning behind this review for Gone With the Wind.

(When someone "sees red", that usually means they are getting very angry. Rhett gets pretty ticked off at Scarlett. The colour scarlet is a deep, dark red.)

Both of yours had 14 when I viewed them (had already voted for B.B.'s) but your top ranks on your second pages are both 15. Assuming you haven't both just received several votes on your 14s, is it supposed to be the top rank that doesn't also appear on your first page, rather than the actual top rank? If so, I hadn't realised that before.

It's any one that by acquiring at least one vote will jump it to the first page. In my case, it would be an alphabet thing ... since Evita at 15 would come before Syriana which at 15 is currently last on my front page. Because personally, I think my Evita review is slightly better than my Syriana review ... given they'd both have the same number of votes.

Does that make sense?

With slight apologies to anyone who's a little on the zhanzh side...

I like the double intendre, and the mild heterophobia.

Thanks, JTC!!

Sal's right - the link's easy-peasy ... just pick a review from the top level of your 2nd page and we'll help you get it up for some votes that may nudge it onto your 1st page. Don't forget to say why you like it!

You know you wanna!

My problem was that I couldn't really justify why I think the ones with 15 votes on my 2nd page deserve any more votes. Now my GWTW review has 15 and if someone else gives it another, it will move into my first page (I think).

In a way, what is on my 2nd page top line could be on the first page bottom line were they voted on sooner. But in any case, The Full Monty may be my favorite British film. I love the story, the strip at the end and the song they use.

"You can leave your hat on," indeed. But we know you can't do the full monty and leave it on!!
