You can't make a rainbow without a little rain.
For those of you who like "Memento", it's on YouTube in chronological order. If you haven't seen it yet, you should definitely watch the original version first, but it's interesting to watch it chronologically afterwards.




Bright light. Bright light. Uh oh.
Memento
Alice in Wonderland (close - going to assume it's the classic, Mark probably nominated it)
It is the classic but I didn't nom it.

I'm almost done with War and Peace I've got about an hour and a half left to watch. I'll have my vote in before the deadline.

Thanks for that tidbit Mark. I'll look it up soon then. I'm almost done with War and Peace myself, and I'm going to try to see Dead Poets Society and Fitzcarraldo before Monday.

Monday is the deadline for group 1. I'll probably open group 4 Friday as well.
