Can you name all these films?

The concept is simple. Countdown from 100 to 1, all using quotes from Hollywood productions. I wasn't keeping tack, but it's my guess I know around 75 of these films. What about you?

I can only imagine how long to took to put this vid together. I theorize that the vid maker has thousands of scripts in a computer along with a search function. I don't see how else this could have been done. There's no way a human being can have all this tucked away in the mind, no?

I'll need to watch it again with pad and pencil to jot down the films I don't know by number.

I agree that YouTube is a poor use of network resources, as you are downloading every time you look at it and I support the ban from offices as it can tie up networks that are needed for work purposes!

I think streaming video is a big waste of resources and it's far better if you can save something and then look at it from your own PC - YouTube is evil and wasteful!

Shouldn't that be Bruce Angel? Or am I the only person on talkbass to remember the fast show?

Did you see the video yet, or were you doing something useful like practicing when you went home?

As you may have guessed - after staring at a PC all day - that's the last thing I'm going to do when I get home!!

I do useful things like eat and sleep!!
