The 'A' List Update

On my lunch break on Tuesday I wondered around the DVD section of HMV in Epsom (the town in England where I work). I hung around mainly where the DVDs starting with 'A' can be found. I saw so many films starting with A that I wanted to watch or I have watched in the past, loved and never bought for myself. For anyone unfamiliar with HMV it can tend to be more expensive than other retailers so I wrote a list of the films that inspired me the most for various reasons and did an Amazon shop on my return to my office. I bought the following to add to the list of films I will begin to watch next week, as I'm going to be on leave;

A Child is Waiting
An Affair to Remember
Annie Hall
Armageddon
Around the World in 80 Days (1956)

Coming to a grand total of £21.56, and under budget of £25 per letter of the alphabet, Annie Hall came in a Woody Allen box set of 6 films so I divided the total for the box set by 6. I will add the £3.44 to the budget for films starting with B. I was sorely tempted to buy many more films, including Annie, Annie Get Your Gun and all manner of other titles, however that is one of the main reasons for the budget and I intend to stick to it, well that's what I say now!!
