<DIV><FONT size=4><STRONG><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000000 size=3>Thanks to all
of you who sent in your "Top Ten Movie List" last week. It was really great to
see how many of you have such diverse tastes, yet had an appetite for good
movies too! In fact, I don't think anyone had a clinker on their list in the
whole bunch!<BR>Here is another fun exercise that someone
suggested:</FONT></STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000000 size=3></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000000 size=3>What is the "Soundtrack of
Your Life?"</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000000 size=3>In other words: What music
has influenced you most during your entire sojourn on Planet
Earth?</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000000 size=3>I'll start first with
mine:<BR></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000000 size=4><EM>Skip's Soundtrack of His

<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000000 size=3><EM>(in no particular

<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000000 size=3>1.) The epic movie
scores of Miklos Rozsa (El Cid, Ben-Hur, Quo Vadis, etc.)<BR>2.) Jackson
Browne<BR>3.) Dan Fogelberg (R.I.P.)<BR>4.) The Beach Boys<BR>5.) Selected films
scores by Alex North, Jerry Goldsmith, Alfred Newman & John Williams.<BR>6.)
Poco<BR>7.) The Eagles<BR>8.) Linda Ronstadt<BR>9.) Steely Dan<BR>10.) And, of
course, one of my favorite musician/songwriters:

Richland, "Politics at the Movies" will start on September
11th...</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4><STRONG><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=3>I hate to keep
beating this horse, but I need to stress again to all of you that the
choice of films in this course will NOT be partisan or currently topical in any
way, shape or form.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=3><STRONG>The selections will be
classic movies about our American political ideals and values, and make up
some of the finest movies ever made!</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=3>At my last class of the
"Overlook Films" course that I do every Summer, I read a list of some 16
movies that are <U>possibilities</U> for the 8 movies in the
class.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=3>For the readers who were NOT
there, here is the list that I MAY be choosing 8 films
from:</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

Fonda-Cliff Robertson (VERY RARE!)<BR>WAG THE DOG<BR>CITY HALL<BR>THE
