Weird film thought


In the midst of a boring management planning meeting, I spent some time this morning thinking about films that have numbers in the title. Sorry, employers, but if you’re going to waste my valuable hours on meaningless get-togethers I am going to distract myself by drifting off inside my own head.
I started compiling a mental list of movies that begin with numbers, to see how far I could get before finding a number with no corresponding film title. I won’t list them all here, but just so you get what I mean – One Fine Day , Two Days In The Valley, Three Days Of The Condor, etc. Then I decided to rate them all and work out which one I thought was the “Start-With-A-Number Cinematic Masterpiece.”
My conclusion – “12 Angry Men” and “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest” are pretty much inseparable.
God knows what was discussed in the meeting, but I’m sure I’ll find out eventually.
