that may be so, but i dont want a webpage that is taken up with links
leaving no space for content which is what will happen if i also textually
include all the links to the films, as well as the links to other parts of
the website, particularly in the case of users increasing the size of the
text to their preferred size, alongside those who have their window
minimized, there has to be some middle ground here in regards to layout and
usability and users who are deliberately turning something off - why (stands
back and hides behind chair) should the ten percenters have so much power
over the design of a webpage?

my webpage is fluid in design, the fonts are not fixed in size, if i had
text links or a list (of the films) a user increasing the font size and
looking at the webpage with a window of 600 width would only see links with
content dropping down and mucho scrolling needed. and i have small but not
fixed (textual) links to the films at the bottom of the page which those
with javascript (deliberately turned off) can use.
