Title: Topic
Post by: Mysterious F. on September 18, 2008, 05:29:03 PM
The only point of this topic is to test my abilities with making tables. Others can use it for experimentation with tables as well.

For my first test, the following is a table showing the 25 highest ranking films in Sight & Sound's 2002 greatest-films-ever poll. (Combining both the critic's and director's poll) Also, L'Atalante, Psycho, and Sunset BLVD. all tied to 25th place, so they're really 27 top 25 films.

Seven Samurai should be higher than Citizen Kane, in my opinion.  I mean come on, it has Toshirou Mifune!  D=

Sure...

Well, I'll have arrangements made to send you a "get well" package, seeing as I live on the opposite side of the country and unfortunately can't visit you in person.

Being only 14, not to mention in school and lacking any kind of job, it'd be incredibly difficult to save up enough money for a round-trip plane flight to... what, North Carolina? Not to mention I need to pay for food and a hotel room.

So, in summary, I would visit you, but I just can't.

Unless, of course, you go into that diabetic coma in Reno.
