When Ifirst wrote this poem, I tried to include only my very favorite movies, but i realized that some of them were ver4y obscure, so I changed the lines to include movies that I thought everyone should have seen, whether they had or not. I dearly love movies. Unfortunately, they're STILL pretty obscure-most of the people I asked had only recognized one movie apiece (though a friend who is a real movie buff-he's seen ever so many films more than I have-claimed to have recognized all of them) . It also occurred to me that if people got interested enough in trying to identify the movies, they might not notice the last two lines, and I thought that would be a good thing. Which is really pretty silly-writing a poem and hoping that no one will notice the last two lines!
