2 HP films in in the top 5, that's awesome. Looks like most of the dvds are family friendly movies.

With all the references in Nemo to Australia, and it WAS a great movie....I can see why it topped their lists. I bet LOTR would top a New Zealand list because it was filmed in that country.

Why just the English? Are the Scottish and Welsh any less British than them? *poke*
