We are now onto Part three of my selection of a film for each year I have been alive. Sir Paul Combs, Knight of the Dillon empire set this mammoth writing prompt which has frazzled and tormented my thoughts so much that I might need therapy when I finally complete it. I am not sure where you live in Texas Sir Paul Combs but at one agonising decision point I was about to call and say;

“Houston, we have a problem!”

When I started this task, I didn’t realise it would cost me money. Looking back at all the films made me very nostalgic. I pinpointed several of them that I wanted to watch again. Then to my horror, I found they were no longer in my DVD cabinet. I remember reluctantly conducting a culling exercise a few years ago but never did I believe I would throw away any of my real favourites. Did my wife secretly do an extra scrapping exercise while I was lost in the flood? I doubt she would knowing my love of films. And where on earth is my James Bond collection? I had a box with every James Bond film up to Daniel Craig in my possession. I hunted high and low, but it has disappeared. Is this some Spectre plot? If I found the culprit, I would scare the living daylights out of them! See what I did there!
