The point of ten best lists is to force you to make some tough choices. I find it an interesting execise. |

| Only fine acting can save a piece of treacle like Dear Frankie, and it does. Frankie is a nine year old who writes long letters to the father he's never known. Prepare to be touched in the most obvious ways. |

| One of the reasons a Top Ten (or even Top 25) list is difficult to compile is that to me one MUST consider silent movies, especially German Expressionist films. |
