Top 10 Lists
In the tried and trusted format of cheap television, we've cobbled together a few 'Top 10' lists for you to read, discuss and disavow. Through an exhaustive process of confabulation and various other long words we only have a vague understanding of, we've managed to haul together what can only be described as a definitive list of lists.
Read, Discuss & Deride
In-keeping with our retro roots, you'll find none of that modern tripe here; it's all good old-fashioned fun. From computer games to movies, there's plenty for you to disagree with; better yet, our experts have critiqued all their favourite things, meaning there's hogwash aplenty too to accompany each listing.
Ultimate Retro Movie List
We can't get enough of old movies, so it'll come as no surprise that we have used this as a pretty decent excuse for offering our far from humble opinion on the subject. You'll find Top 10's for everything, from 70s Movies right through to our homage to classic Cheddar with Crap Movie Lines - 'If it bleeds, we can kill it'.
We should probably forewarn most ardent film buffs that our lists don't exactly tie-in with conventional critic's choices; at Balcony we play by our own rules! So if your favourite film is directed by someone with a surname like Eisenstein, Fellini or Truffaut, this probably aint for you. Doubtless it'll tread on a few toes and throw up some surprises - not least to us - but we'll have some fun along the way.
When Computer Games were Cool
For contemporary computer game fans who think that it all started with the Wii, we've delved into the darkest recesses of our collective imaginations to find the best retro games. Who can forget the first time you played Street Fighter? Or scared yourself witless with the altogether new concept of Doom? It's also an opportunity for us to glorify the geek in all of us and embrace the simplistic beauty of the technology from days of yore.
So sit back, relax and get ready to howl with derision at the scientifically proven - as long as by scientifically you mean a light discussion, possibly whilst hungover, the chemistry element perhaps - 'Top 10 of everything we care enough about to make a top 10 of'.
