Well, believe it or not, there's a distinct possibility that my babysitting skills have actually been rejected for today. Well, not because of me, per se. But due to scheduling issues on the part of the parents. So, perhaps some other time I'll get to take these paternal instincts out for a spin.
For now, however, we're off to meet Sean and Amy in Seattle Center for Bite of Seattle.
And, since I've nothing of any substance to share, here's the list of my 28 must-see films, to accompany my recent list of highly recommended processed tree carcasses (a.k.a. books). Since, however, I've found films more difficult to rank than books, here they are in alphabetical order:
Films: JRU's Top Twenty-Eight
Alien
Amadeus
Blade Runner
Casablanca
The English Patient
Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain
Finding Nemo
Ghostbusters
Good Will Hunting
Gosford Park
Hud
JFK
Julia
Kill Bill, Volume 1
The Lord of the Rings: the Fellowship of the Ring
The Madness of King George
A Mighty Wind
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Raiders of the Lost Ark
The Royal Tenenbaums
Sense and Sensibility
Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
To Kill a Mockingbird
Tootsie
2001: A Space Odyssey
The Usual Suspects
Vertigo
Young Frankenstein
Yeah... I could've included links for all of them. But wouldn't you much rather look them up on your own?

Posted by: Faustus, M.D. at July 22, 2004 10:41 PMWow, I've seen all of them but Julia, The English Patient and Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain.
I wasn't too impressed with A Mighty Wind though. I seemed like it was lacking something and/or had too many plot lines going on. The Madness of King George, however, I re-watched just last night.
