I am very much looking forward to the July releases of Public Enemies and the latest installment of Harry Potter. Like most people, I have other movies from the past I would like to see as well. Some I missed because I was too busy and have never found the right time to rent. Others were before my time (yes, movies were invented before I was born) and I still haven't "caught up."
Since we are at the mid-point of the calendar year, I have decided to make a goal (a mid-year resolution??) to start seeing some of the great (or at least intriguing) movies I have yet enjoy.
Here is a list of the Top Ten movies on my "To See" list currently. Of course, there are several others, but I want to keep the list manageable. Feel free to leave a comment about any of the selections, or even leave your own list. And I also have a poll for everyone to help me decide which films from my list I should view first.
In no particular order:
Rain Man 1988
Searching For Bobby Fischer 1993
On the Waterfront 1954
Accidental Tourist 1988
My Left Foot 1989
The Piano 1993
Taxi Driver 1976
Casablanca 1942
Easy Rider 1969
When Harry Met Sally 1989

Happy Flag Day
As many of you are aware, Flag Day is my favorite holiday and favorite day of the year. I love this time of year and have loved Flag Day since I was very little. And the weather is always beautiful on June 14. Sunny and 75 today!!
Flag Day commemorates the adoption of our flag by the continental congress on this date in 1777. In 1916, President Wilson proclaimed June 14 Flag Day, and a congressional act in 1949 made today National Flag Day. However, it is not an observed federal holiday. Fun fact: Pennsylvania is the only state to celebrate Flag Day as a state holiday.
I was downtown at an event with old work friends last week when we ran into "Da Coach." Here is a picture of my friend (and Muddy Buddy partner) Linda with one of her idols.
