With many journalists making yesterday's Wednesday their travel day to the Cannes, the festival kicked off with a pair of screenings for Woody Allen's continued foray into Europe, this time France.

Among the screenplays with less than 6 votes in 2008 we have titles such as Sherlock Holmes, The Debt, Julia Leigh's Sleeping Beauty, William Monahan's London Boulevard and easily my favorite of the bunch is Bert Royal's Easy A. Here are picks 10 to 6 with two finished films having switched their official titles.
