Rain Man may be my favorite movie of all the movies you've posted so far. Great pic. You are moving along at a good pace here - and keeping our interest- and level of suspense - up.

And now I hope you don't mind if I post a little musical interlude - an absolutely fave song from a great movie. Just hold my seat while I go to the candy counter to see if they're still outta Milk Duds

I'm impressed how well watched you are...you not only have a lot of great popular movies, but you have some older classics too. You so need to join the 20th HoF when it starts!
