I wanted to include Les Miserables, but I can't really say any version I've seen has lived up to the original story.

Lonely are the Brave is a great one!

Hey, Kids! Let's put on a Poll!

Remember, the nomination stage closes on Monday night.

P.S. to Movieman1957 -- Are your movies in ranked order? (And we'll wave at you & your family sometime on Wednesday.)

They are not in order. Should I put them that way?

Have a safe trip? I'll try and wave back.

Who made Thanksgiving so late and then said we have to travel? <sigh>

Have a fun-filled Thanksgiving.

The Two Most Beautiful Granddaughters, that's who! Enjoy your travels, judge. I'll be here to keep an eye on things.....

That was the idea, but the prediction of freezing rain while driving through PA changed that. Instead, on the Hoosier farm with my parents.

Texas is just a little further south.
