TOP 10 LISTINGS - ten best favourite or classic movies, TV shows, people, themes or categories Compiling a top 10 list of movies or TV shows (or anything else) is very difficult, and increasingly so. With over a century of cinema to choose from, no listing or article can ever hope to be definitive because, even if you saw an acknowledged-classic film each and every day - you simply would not live long enough to watch a small fraction of what's now available (and that's only counting works or names which polls of critics have selected). When we have to factor in cultural bias, aesthetic preferences, individual tastes, emotional and/ or intellectual maturity, pedantry, bad memory, snap judgements, and the vagaries of favouritism... any result is suspect. So, why do we do it? Discerning viewers, film buffs, cinephiles and other know-alls just accept this waking nightmare of lists-o-mania is here to stay. Without apology, VideoVista offers yet another outlet for generic rants, chronological ratings, offbeat ravings, and considered A-Z opinions. - Christopher Geary
