the top 10 includes the 1968 Mystery and Imagination version of "Dracula" with Denholm Elliott and James Maxwell in.
That's amazing! The person who wrote the review likes the same bits that I did - all the Lucy/Mina stuff, and the two bits of location filming, which really are well done. (And, LOL, yes, I said this was a production that knows full well that vampirism = sex.) Never having seen another Dracula, or read the novel (yet), I didn't have anything to compare it to as to whether the emphasis on Lucy/Mina was unusual or not - seems it might be?
That is pretty bizarre, though, for it to get into the top ten. Not as dull as a party political broadcast after all...?
Though I thought of a couple of things almost as soon as signups were over, which I've carefully written down somewhere that I'll hopefully be able to find them next year.
Aw, that's a shame. And, of course, the trick will be in either remembering next year that you wrote them down, or where it was that you put them...
