NOTE FROM KRISTIAN:
Well,
it’s our
last list
before the
holidays — we
have to get back
to our day jobs,
making toys for Santa,
the slavedriver! We’ll be
back on Friday, January 7th.
For now, what *I* want from each
and every subscriber this year is
to tell another movie-lovin’ friend
about the Top5 Movies list. Subscribe
info is at the very bottom. So, if our
readership doesn’t double in the next
week, you’re all getting a lump of coal!
Happy Holidays, everyone. Peace
to you
and your
family.
(But now, put the kids to bed, because it’s…)
