logo bfi 1 BFI   British Film Institute, or Bad Film Ideas?To celebrate the 75th birthday of the BFI Southbank, the British Film Institute asked 75 celebrities (some you may have heard of, the rest appear to be fillers) for their favourite film.

The idea behind this was to produce a list of ‘classic movies of the future’. Better yet, the top five as voted by the celebrities and the public alike, will be screened at the BFI Southbank from January 2009. If you go to their web site, you can read the responses to the two questions:

  • Which one film would you wish to share with future generations?
  • What excites you about the future of the moving image?
  • All the links are clickable, and the various celebs will tell you what they voted for and why. You are also invited to nominate your own choice(s) and given the opportunity to provide a comment.
