The Best Of B.L.W. Volume One

To pare all of these submission down to a "Best Of" list was easier in some aspects and harder in others. First, I thought it would be both fairer and simpler to break it down to the first ten installments of the Bad Lieutenant's Wife. Also to maintain partiality, I thought it as editor, I would not post any of my submissions.


That being said, I know that everyone is going to be upset that their favorites aren't up there. This is true of any list and I hope everyone can understand this, as taste is subjective and other than my choice in spouse? I have no taste.


Once again this is the "Best Of," installments one through ten. Everybody is listed in the order they appeared, not by preference and with their best ten submissions for those installments. If there are less than ten for that person, that is because they submitted less than ten during this time period.

From John D. Carlucci:

"Lost City of Children of Men" "Marathon Man of La Mancha" "From Russia With Love American-Style" "Dark Waterworld" "Shakespeare in Love Actually"

From Angel's Mind:

"Sky Captain Correlli And The World Of Tomorrow’s Mandolin" "Interview with Buffy The Vampire Slayer" "The Shaggy Dog Day Afternoon"

From Katie Schwartz:

"Psycho Step Monster" "The Bride of Frankenstein" + "The Green Slime" = "The Green Slime Bride of Frankenstein"

Flannery,

I loved "The Adventures In Babysitting Buckaroo Banzai," but I already had "Bill And Ted's Adventures In Babysitting" up there for Becky. "My Left Footloose," too.

I mean, there should be a top twenty, but that wouldn't be fair to those who submitted less than ten.
