Movies are more than 100 years old now, and feature films have been going strong for more than 80 years.

I was thinking the same thing, NEB.....
'Does this guy know movies existed before 1960? Has he ever heard of Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant or Betty Davis?' (probaly not - he's too busy watching the Jamaican Bobsledding Movie)

******************************************
The audacious proposal stirred his heart. And the stirring became a song, and it mingled with the songs of Gil-galad and Celebrian, and with those of Feanor and Fingon. The song-weaving created a larger song, and then another, until suddenly it was as if a long forgotten memory woke and for one breathtaking moment the Music of the Ainur revealed itself in all glory. He opened his lips to sing and share this song. Then he realized that the others would not understand. Not even Mithrandir given his current state of mind. So he smiled and simply said "A diversion.”

You'd think they'd at least have thrown in La Femme Nikita, G. I. Jane, or Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
