I love that movie. My own list of movies would have to include Kind Hearts and Coronets (which I've watched at least a dozen times) and Some Like it Hot. Not sure what else, though. Luckily I don't have a blog, so nobody tags me with these memes. As for the science-based meme, how about four impossible experiments you wish you could conduct four extinct plants or animals you would resurrect And thanks (for your congratulations below)!
