The endeavor is nuttily nostalgic. During my school days, familiar objects were offered by teachers to illustrate the various vowels and consonants, like A is for apple, B is for book, and C is for cigarettes and, sometimes, Coors.
The compilation of my list of motion pictures was very difficult because I had so many worthy films to tweeze away. My sincerest apologies to "Pinocchio," "Bambi," "It's a Gift," "City Lights," "Bridge on the River Kwai," "Cinema Paradiso," "Jean de Florette," "Play It Again, Sam," "Bananas," "Singin' in the Rain," "Never Give a Sucker an Even Break," "Deputy Droopy," and many more. I may have my clones, Lester and Connie, prepare cinematic alphabets to include these neglected productions; however, knowing those two kin / mes, we'd be deluged by "Cops" episodes and "Dancing With the Stars (Who Aren't Big Enough to Not Have to Do This Humbling, Soul-Crushing TV Series)."
Yes, I've written about many of my titles before, but, at least, I am consistent, and heading on out to the lobby for popcorn and Dots. Save my seat.
I love a house with a lobby.
