John, while the Movie list is a good idea, I wouldnt want to just copy what has already been posted on the PAC site. Similar to why we havent resurrected Brian's Book thread over here yet. The problem with static lists is that they are not easily added to my the user base at large, and I wouldnt want to just use a forum thread for that can get buried over time.

But if you guys had enough interest in this, they we I would create a simple module where you guys could add Movies, Descriptions, and approx time into the film where the sighting occurs. Once it's database driven rather then a static list, then it could be searched and sorted.

If we decide to go down that road if there is enough interest, then AL would be more than welcome to add any listings if he wishes.

Along those lines, I wouldnt mind doing the same type of user-driven listing for to encapsulate Brian's bookthread, where people can at a book listing, and then leave a little review on it. Also people then could leave comments about it.

Those type of database driven list modules are pretty easy to code-up and deploy here on the website. Once I build it once, I can replicate it for any other lists we want to maintain.

Ideas? Comments? Questions? Concerns? Feedback appreciated.
