Our road trip was filled with many games of "The six degrees of Kevin Bacon" where you try and link two actors/actresses in less than 6 films. (The game was introduced to me by Autumn Childs on a volleyball tour to Orkney!) As we played this in the Bay of Islands, it became more and more apparent that I hadn't seen a lot of famous films. Steph kept saying that I should try to list these. So, while in Mac's Brewery in Wellington, Iain, Steph and I compiled a list of Films I've Never Seen (Dec 2009). There's no particular order but you might see the train of thought running through the list. You'll also probably notice that its quite a boyish list and you might even have some suggestions. Let me know!

Watch Raising Arizona first, when she shouts 'I'M BARREN SLY', I want you to think of the Ginger Prince and I. J.Bo
