#Top10Thursday :: Classic Films You Haven't Seen

This weeks #Top10Thursday was inspired by a conversation concerning a previous Top 10 list. After some debate about which Toys from the 80’s each of us had owned, the discussion moved on to the classic film The Goonies. Without considering the consequences I said that I had never seen this particular 80’s classic and suddenly the full force of Twitter was unleashed upon me.

Clearly I had touched a very raw nerve and I set about discovering what other classic films my fellow Tweeters hadn’t seen. I created the #filmconfessions hashtag and started an amnesty on classic movie misses. Here, in their own words, is the Top 10 Classic Films I Haven’t Seen…

The ONLY sign that you spend too much time on Twitter is:

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.

I’ve noticed lately that there has been a distressing increase in the level of negativity within the Twitterverse and feel compelled to comment in more than 140 characters.

The amazing power of Twitter has been revealed to me numerous times over the past year and a bit. I have won tickets to see screenings of Jaws at the London Aquarium, jars of super tangy Marmite XO and even found myself a new job, but the most amazing thing of all was made very clear to me last Friday.
