| Favorite Movies | The classics -- "Citizen Kane, " "Casablanca" and "Roman Holiday" for starters. And then everything from "Amelie" to "X-Men." Well, everything but horror and stupid humor. I *love* "The Paper." Haven't seen it? You're missing out. Don't get it? Ask a journalist -- there's an equivalent to each character in the movie to a character in every newsroom. |
