    Seems like it is the best of this group, so not surprising to me.

    When I was a senior in HS I had a computer class. The teacher was a bit quirky and fun. For our Final exam in that class we watched War Games. No quiz or test about it. Just sat in class and watched it over 2 days.
    Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?

    Nostalghia by Tarkovsky is one of the best films by one of the all time greatest directors, but sadly it's not something that would do well here at .org.

    Legend should at least be ahead of Nightmare on Elm Street 3. So should Steel Magnolias and Witness.

    I can't believe Legend is going out in the first round... It just needs one vote to tie for sixth so it's still got a tiny chance...
