Two really good films there, I've not seen Boondock Saints in ages.

I thought The Boondock Saints was the biggest pile of shite ever.

Have you The Snapper, Rachel. It's based on the second book of the trilogy after The Commitments. It's awesome.

I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

Pedantic question: if a film is watched for the second time this year does it count, or are we only counting how many different films are scene? I've seen Citizen Kane twice this year now.
Everybody dies frustrated and sad, and that is beautiful.

Thanks. Oh well, there goes my plan of using all versions of Avatar, Blade Runner, and Close Encounters to make up ten places! :hehe:

Hmmm.... I'd probably count a director's cut (or similar) as different to the original. Idk about everyone else though.
