Beyond Friday

Beyond Friday is a film watching party that happens on Twitter every friday night at 11pm. A group of like minded movie fans get together and watch the same film and tweet about it using the #beyondfriday tag. The results are joyous. Even if the film sucks the tweets are fun and when the film rocks it's even better. Last week we hit number 56 and there's no signs of slowing down yet. My rankings for them are below from worst to best.

Shamefully I've missed 15 of them so I'll leave those ones out. I'm sickened I didn't turn up for Southern Comfort.

The Carpenter
