  • Top 10 Turtles in Film

    To celebrate Sammy the turtle’s epic return to the big blue screen in A Turtle’s Tale: Sammy’s Great Escape (in 3D, no less!), we’ve compiled a list of our favourite cinematic members of the order Testudines.

  • Orange(Wednesday)s and Lemons #101

    If 101 Dalmatians taught us anything, it’s that you should NEVER stop at 100. Just in case.

  • 12 Days of Christmas #9 – BFF’s Top 9 Dancing Ladies

    Three quarters of the way into our Christmas countdown, we’re relaxing our previously bird-centric attitudes to focus on the ladies who make Hollywood dainty and sweet-smelling and so on.

    Here we are, at everyone’s favourite refrain! Let’s celebrate by considering 5 of the best “gold rings” (they’re not all gold, they’re not all rings). We here at BFF are so very kind that we scoured cinema history in order to deliver 5 shiny circles into your brain via your optic nerve. You might remember Michael Fassbender doing a similar thing to Kevin Bacon in X-Men: First Class, but we promise to be more gentle than that.

Make sure you are never without a Russell Crowe fact ever again! ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?

We’ve trawled the Internet to find the Hollywood big-hitters most likely to get us going in what future generations will probably remember as 4346 in the Korean calendar.
