What? as with the big fail in doing the Biography List ahead of the release of ABRAHAM LINCOLN VAMPIRE KILLER, I am concerned that SKYFALL will be the best London showcase Bond film to date... UPDATE, as the show was pushed due to extensive election coverage, SKYFALL will be considered.
Also of note, England is merely a portion of Great Britain and as such the outliers of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are not considered.
And, extraordinarily overrated films will be set aside, sorry BARRY LYNDON, maybe EYES WIDE SHUT will make the cut...
