Take a break from all this

Trump is using the authoritarian dictator playbook, going after minorities and using the court system to try and discredit opponents.  Perhaps that’s why he had Maduro brought here from Venezuela–he needed some pointers.


But I thought you and I both needed a break from all this, so I decided to give you the New York Times list of the top ten movies of the year I was born.  Most of them I’ve never seen, but I was born near the end of 1942, so I have an excuse.  Two of them I showed in my political films class.  See if you can guess which two.  Here’s the list:


In Which We Serve

Journey for Margaret

Casablanca

One of Our Aircraft Is Missing

Wake Island

Mrs. Miniver

Yankee Doodle Dandy

The Gold Rush

Woman of the Year

Sullivan’s Travels
