Oh, this thread is SUPERB, Marion! Thank you so much for kicking it off; it's such a splendid idea I'm surprised the NS or Speccie haven't come up with it.
Like Brian, I always used to (and occasionally still do) say I'm going 'to the flicks' - so I think "Filmericks" and "Limerflicks" are both great names for this fun exercise. You've really started something!!!!!
Brian,
The Shawshank Redemption is based on a Stephen King short story called "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption" and in various polls comes up time and time again as being in people's Top Three or Top Ten Films; I've watched it no end of times and never tire of it. DO get a copy from ebay or Amazon!
