1. Pick one film to represent each letter of the alphabet.
2. The letter "A" and the word "The" do not count as the beginning of a film's title, unless the film is simply titled A or The, and I don't know of any films with those titles.
3. Return of the Jedi belongs under "R," not "S" as in Star Wars Episode IV: Return of the Jedi. This rule applies to all films in the original Star Wars trilogy; all that followed start with "S." Similarly, Raiders of the Lost Ark belongs under "R," not "I" as in Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. In other words, movies are stuck with the titles their owners gave them at the time of their theatrical release. Conversely, all films in the LOTR series belong under "L" and all films in the Chronicles of Narnia series belong under "C," as that's what those filmmakers called their films from the start. Use your better judgement to apply the above rule to any series/films not mentioned.
4. Films that start with a number are filed under the first letter of their number's word. 12 Monkeys would be filed under "T."
5. Link back to Blog Cabins in your post, cause he made up the rules.
6. If you're selected, you have to then select 5 more people. (I'm not going to tag anyone, though if you do decide to do it, please link back to me!).

These are my favorites under each letter, but some are definitely better than others. Since I'm that nerdy, I actually alphabetize my own collection of several hundred DVDs, so this was pretty easy.

Still need to see Quiz Show. This is the second time this week that I've seen reference to it, so I guess it has to go on my NetFlix queue. :)
You really should, Ralph Fiennes and John Tuturro are fantastic. Not quite the best material for them, but still really good.
I too need to see Quiz Show. It might've made my Q pick much easier...
Nice to see some more Top Gun love. ;)
Great list, Jess! I see Eternal Sunshine getting so much love, it makes me so happy. I almost put Dogma too, but went for The Departed. I also came very close to choosing an HP film (it would've been Goblet of Fire), but went with an old favorite in Heathers.
I, too, am delinquent in seeing Quiz Show.
Fletch, another V for Vendetta spotting? It look to be that no other V film can top it's greatness?
