I have an idea to make this thread tougher: try to post a top ten that has something to do with your username.

Top 10 Beatles songs relating to Film Archiving (in alpha order, naturally):

1. **Act Naturally** : “Well I hope you come and see me in the movies”; my own IMDB listing because of my job
2. **And Your Bird Can Sing** : “When your prized possessions start to wear you down/Look in my direction, I’ll be round”; I’m the depository for various important media objects
3. **Cry Baby Cry** : “At twelve o’clock a meeting round the table/For a seance in the dark”; It’s not unusual to have project-related work day screenings
4. **A Day in the Life** : “And though the holes were rather small/They had to count them all”; the tedium of cataloguing
5. **Do You Want to Know a Secret?** : “Do you want to know a secret/Do you promise not to tell”; my non-disclosure agreement
6. **Fixing a Hole** : “I’m fixing a hole where the rain gets in/And stops my mind from wandering”; getting immersed in film repair and restoration efforts
7. **I’m Looking Through You** : “Your lips are moving, I cannot hear/Your voice is soothing, but the words aren’t clear”; encountering older media with audio problems isn’t uncommon
8. **No Reply** : “But I saw you peep through your window/I saw the light, I saw the light”; talking to the projectionist
9. **While My Guitar Gently Weeps** : “I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping”; alone in my enormous vault, I have to do my own cleaning sometimes
10. **Your Mother Should Know** : “Let’s all get up and dance to a song/That was a hit before your mother was born”; I’m obliged to immerse myself in cultural history that predates me by generations
