The League has had a week off to regenerated those creative power cells, which is good because this week’s topic is sure to put a strain on all of us. Summer is upon us and you know what that means–it’s time for those Hollywood blockbusters we wait for all year.
This week’s League topic:
—-
What are your Top Ten Movies?
—-
Note, this list can be your top ten all time favorites, or your top ten in a given genre–go ahead and make up your own qualifiers! Google loves top ten lists, so make sure to use those words in your title and watch your traffic soar!
Once you put up a post on your site add a comment below with the URL. Next Monday, I will put up a post here on Cool & Collected with a list of all the contributing blogs. Once that list is posted, if you haven’t already done so, try to incorporate at least three of your fellow League members’ links (but more would be great!) into the article you wrote on your site.
By cross-posting like this, we will help each other out by sending new readers to each other’s sites. Have fun!
(Wondering what the heck this is all about? We’re recruiting for this loose-knit, rag tag crew! Here are the details for joining The League.)
Paxton Holley says
Oh, Brian, you magnificent, terrible bastard.
Brian says
😉 It looks so easy, but when you put pencil to paper… hooboy.
Paxton Holley says
That’s what I’m saying. I really like this topic and I want to do it, but when I think about it, my mind starts racing in a thousand different directions.
Plus, how do I slice and dice this? I don’t think I want to straight up do a Pax’s Top Ten movies of all time. Or even a top 10 super hero movies of all time. I want to really come up with some fun subset….
Wait a minute. I think I have an id—-yeah, I got an idea. *nods head maniacally*
Jason says
This is a good one Brian! I have a post or two to put up before this(yard sale finds #13 is tonight, btw), but count me in. Man, it’s gonna be tough, cuz I’m sure all of us involved love a lot of movies.
TL says
No chore here:

Brian says
How the heck did you put that list together so fast?! I haven’t even come up with my theme yet. 😉
TL says
1. My list is basically the same it’s been for years.
2. It’s summertime and raining outside. I’ve got nothing but time.
Stacey says
Oh, man. I may just have to close my eyes and start typing. The more I think about it, I’ll agonize over it.
Memoriesoftoymorrow says

Dex (@Dex1138) says
I’m surprised I didn’t come up with that same topic! It would have been more American 50s/60s in flavor though.
Mike says
Here’s my list

Right under the wire this week. Wrote and posted a lot, but for some reason hesitated on this post. I read some of the other pieces this week and really, what was I afraid of? Appearing too geeky? Have at thee!
