4. Seven things I say most often
* You're the greatest! (To Sam)
* Sweetheart. (Sam and Linda)
* Thanks be to God!
* Cunieverse world (don't ask)
* What do you think? (And not with an attitude--cultivating a response from within rather than reliance upon external resources)
* I love you.

* Scrooge
* Christmas in Connecticut
* Sunset Boulevard
* Citizen Kane (I'm utterly mesmerized--my wife--mystified and bored)
* Working Girl
7. I have a poor success rate at passing these things one and as this is rather old now, most have probably done it. I don't recall seeing this at TSO's however--so TSO, if you're so inclined.

I LOVE your movie list! Very unexpected. I loved Legally Blond and Miss Congeniality as well.
Have you ever seen Overboard with Goldie Hawn? You might just like it!

Dear MamaT,
I forgot Overboard, maybe because it's a little bit older. But there was a time when I had to replace my VHS tape of it. Yep--I LOVE Overboard too. And once I have it on DVD it will rejoin the ranks. Thanks for the reminder.
shalom,
Steven
