  1. Assassin’s Creed is my choice of the week for movie I’d like to go back in time and prevent the making of.

    If you’ve not seen Being There, you should.

    • Especially now.

      Cinema Paradiso is also worth seeing.

      I’ve never seen Won Ton Ton: The Dog Who Saved Hollywood but it has an all-star-ish cast and, clearly, one of the great titles in film history.
