I posted this theme once before; let's do it again.
The idea is to post someone else's review that you think is the best for a film for which you currently have the unshared top spot. |

[Rec] My review is pretty good but lamhasuas's is very nice.
Babycakes My review's fine but turrell's appeals to me more.
The Broken Hearts Club: A Romantic Comedy Mine's all right in that I really crammed a lot into it, but it's pretty clumsy as a result and it also turns out that it's inaccurate (they're not good baseball players; I've reported it). I therefore prefer queenofcats's much neater review.
Elizabeth My review's a bit pointless and thus both of ChocolateLady's top two are more worthy.
The Fifteen Minute Hamlet I like all of mine for this but prefer lemmycaution's and perhaps Cheese_Ed's too.
Outpost My review's so-so but CankleFetish's is excellent.
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves I've always liked Corduroy Pillow's review here more than my own.
Sesame Street Presents Follow That Bird I find noncentz's review for this very satisfying. |

Thanks! I was wondering where those votes came from.
I'll try to do a list myself soon.

Hello ...
Apparently, so say the stats, I have nearly 900 top reviews. I have not idea what they are nor how to go about finding them. And, if I did, I surely don't have the time to study them. Sorry.

I don't have that many but I to have no idea how to locate my reviews that have the highest number of votes for a film, without painstakingly looking thru all my reviews, and life is too short!

The only thing I regret more than having done this is now fessing up to all of you people. The reason? It's my #1.
My own top voted review is for Star Wars: A New Hope. In and of itself, I know it has inspired at least one other review. But what inspired mine?
"Vaporised Guinness likely story." with only 18 votes from Carnicus. This is clearly something you'd say in a pub and I think it's just perfect and deserves many more votes.

Obviously neither of you is too short of time to go around posting in threads just to announce that you're not going to participate in them! |

Yeah ... let's see ... uhm, a few seconds to check out my fav website, a few seconds to type in a couple of sentences ... versus ... how many hours trawling through all my fwfrs just to i.d. 885 top-ies, then trawl through equivalent pages of fwfrs by others. Hmm ... tough equation.
Listen, honey, if I had the dosh I'd hire you as my secretary to do all that stuff for me. But I don't. So as a courtesy I posted a polite explanation of why I was't participating in your thread. But, hey, that's just me ... born polite, I guess. And perfect in every way. 'Cept when I'm not.

Larry's All That Jazz reviews are pretty good.
I also found Bafta's reviews for Adam's Rib and The Beaches to be funny.
Pope George Ringo's Sex Life of Jesus review is far more original than mine.
Yukon's Other Boleyn Girl reviews are no slackers, either.
And Whippersnappers reviews for The Prisoner of Zenda certainly deserve more attention than they've gotten so far.

Thanks Chocky, you're a star!
However, I'm not sure I don't prefer THESE reviews instead!

No one had said that you should participate, so it would have been more courteous not to post at all, as you put a bit of a downer on the thread and gave the false impression that cases for it are hard to find. It's not about trawling through for them -- they are just the sort of thing that one naturally sees and remembers when going around the site. There has been no implication that one should check all of one's top reviews. |
