    This is brilliant, BunnyWhit! I admire the creativity. I love Ampersand Day, Labor Unions for Labor Day (which people forget is what Labor Day is about), Robert Wise, Malta Swashbucklers, Little League, 100th Anniversary of the Grand Prix -- so much research! I hope TCM steals these ideas, especially the Divine Equine, and I would love to hear what Zorba has to say about those films.

  2. There was an old RAGGEDY ANN AND ANDY cartoon film that had like 8 songs in the first scene that really slowed it down— spare me the agony of reliving that traumatizing film by looking up the names of the songs :)

     

    next

    a song from a movie you don’t like (whether you like the song or not, the idea is you don’t like the film)
