What Are Top Fives? Top Fives

[Gemma]

Nick Hornby's debut novel High Fidelity was published 25 years ago this year, and Stephen Frears' equally-beloved movie adaptation was released 20 years ago in Arpil.

In the story, Rob Gordon and his co-workers' way of bringing some sort of order to a chaotic world is to make lists of everything and in this forum we will aim to do something similar.

A couple of examples of top 5s in the book/film are:

Top five recording artists:

1. Carly Simon
2. Carole King
3. James Taylor
4. Cat Stevens
5. Elton John

Top five favourite films

1. Blade Runner;
2. Cool Hand Luke;
3. 'the first two Godfathers, which we'll count as one';
4. Taxi Driver;
5. The Shining.

Your top 5s can be related to just about anything. So go, create your own and let other members add their own choices to whichever topics you come up with.
