Over the 34 plus years of my life I have seen quite a few movies. I enjoy going to the theater and also renting a good flick to watch at home. I enjoy many genres of film from comedy to horror, drama and even some good old classics. Recently it seems that I keep getting into conversations where people mention a movie that I haven't seen. Yes, it is true I haven't seen them all. The common response is "WHAAAAAT....You haven't seen ______________ "(insert name of any movie you have seen). It's as if I have committed some horrid crime. I feel like I should mention a movie in return that they haven't seen...but by then the effect is gone. I admit, there are some classics I haven't seen (Casablanca, Rear Window, The History of Pickletown) and even some more recent ones that I've missed(Jurassic Park ((hey I'm not much into dinosaurs)), Pochohontas, Crash etc.), but I mean really.....what movies have you missed? Who here has seen "Chopping Mall"? Anyone? How about "Sarah, Plain and Tall"? Well anyway, the point is that I haven't seen every movie and at the rate new movies come out I don't imagine I'll ever catch up. I'd rather watch a Met's game anyway.
To wrap up this post I thought I would list my Top 10 favorite movies with you. If you choose to leave a reply why not include your Top 10. I'd be interested in how many I haven't seen!

Great taste! Less filling!
In order to fully appreciate this story you need to know 2 things.
1. My friend Dave does home brewing. About once a month he comes over with some new brews, I provide the pizza and we watch a baseball game or play a video game. To help with his home brewing I save all of my empty beer bottles for him.
2. We had a mouse in the house a few weeks ago.
So, last night Dave and his wife Laura came over for pizza and beverages. We ate, chatted and watched the Met's game. While Dave was over I asked him for some advice. (He works in construction building and remodeling houses) I told him that I thought our mouse friend had died and was under the dishwasher or sink area. The smell had gotten pretty bad the past few days but I couldn't find a mouse corpse anywhere. He showed me how to pull out the dishwasher so that I could get a better view. I planned on actually doing this today. Later in the evening Dave and Laura were about to leave so I gathered up the empty beer bottles and apologized about the odor since I keep them under the sink. As we were chatting a bit more Dave noticed the odor getting quite strong and asked if the mouse was in one of the bottles I had given him. Sure enough, there was the mouse corpse in the bottom of a bottle of Caramel Porter.
I'm sure Dave is going to carefully inspect anything I give him in the future. I had thought about mailing the bottle back to the beer company and blaming it on them. Then I remembered the lady with the finger in her chili and decided not to. I was, however, quite impressed that the mouse was able to fit in the small opening of the bottle. At least he had good taste in beers!
