Everywhere we look, it seems like we're constantly told what films we should love. Visit a bookshop, and there will be at least half a dozen brick-sized tomes purporting to be the definitive guide of the Quintessential Films That You Should See In Your Next 50 Lifetimes. Not only that, but TV channels are also getting in on the act by listing the Top 100 Films Of All Time, during which the likes of Paul Ross or Nikki from Big Brother 7 chat inanely about the first time that they saw The Phantom Menace or some other movie “classic”.
Why bother with all that though? Both lists would take a good few hours to wade through, so instead, how's about tracking down a copy of season 24 closer, Dragonfire?
Yes, really. Dragonfire has so many visual and textual references to past classic films that you half expect Barry Norman to have penned the story.
