Two YA bloggers are on this committee-myself and Drea from Book Blather-and we'd love to see the blogosphere represented and nominate titles! Anyone can nominate, so add your favorite films and give Drea and I some great films to watch and vote for this summer!

I put in my favorite classics: The Princess Bride, The Sandlot, and Hook.
ReplyDeleteOMG STAR TREK. I love that movie.
ReplyDeleteI'm still surprised Twilight is on it, and that Avatar isn't...
(Wow, wasn't that helpful? Sigh. Sorry.)
I'm not sure I get how Twilight fits the theme, but oh well, I'm not surprised to see it there. But I'm shocked Avatar isn't nominated yet!
