Watch me be a lemming

The Top 5 list meme is going around.

You know the rules. Ask me for "top five" lists of pretty much anything, and I will list you my top five of that thing or things.

1) Great characters, some I can identify with, believe in and enjoy. They don't all have to be good. Alexander DeLarge of Clockwork Orange was one of my favorites in my teens because he was a vessel for my own darker side

2) Engaging plot. Don't make me throw things at the screen (Bodybags), don't use stuff I was writing as fanfiction at the age of 15 and KNEW was cliche even then (Haunted Mansion)

3) Accurate costuming. Dear GOD do not put anorexic women into leather bikinis and call it "historically accurate" (King Arthur)

4) Snappy dialogue.

5) Effects appropriate to the era. I can watch Harryhausen's workwithout irony, but it has to be in an older film. League of Extraordinary Gentlemen failed this one rather spectacularly.
