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.)
