The British Film Institute (www.bfi.org.uk) announced the results of its Top 
Ten Poll this month, a survey of the best films of all time as judged by the 
world's leading film critics and directors. This year's was the largest poll 
to date, including contributions from 145 film critics, writers and 
academics, as well as 108 film directors. What makes a great film? Most 
would agree that it starts with a good story. "The Basics of Screenwriting," 
a new free seminar from the American Film Institute, explains the 
fundamentals of creating an effective premise, compelling characters, and 
story structure; as well as tips for starting a script and discussion forums 
to share your experiences: http://www.fathom.com/course/21701762/1070

Meanwhile here in America:
Tom Hanks: In His Own Words In this feature from the American Film 
Institute, Tom Hanks discusses his career--both on and off the set--from his 
early childhood through each of his most memorable performances: "In high 
school, I saw friends in the fall play and couldn't believe something so 
much fun was being done in school..." (I suppose he’ll reference his time at 
the Great Lakes Shakespeare Festival at some point).
