Here, in Google-order, are the five B.P. nominees from 2005:

    FINding Neverland
    MILlion Dollar Baby
    RAY
    SIDeways
    THE Aviator

And here I've ranked them in order of suitability to be called 'little':

FVQ
SVA
ZVY
ENL
GUR

They're in ROT13, "littlest" first.

You do the ranking, too, before you decode, and we'll see if 'little' 
actually communicates anything.

(Anyone can play, and publish the results.)
