I showed my students The Princess Bride last week and they loved it. I was trying to think of another movie to show them at the end of the year but so far allI have come up with is Willow. Any idea?

Relax The General Is Here
Welcome To The Front
I started this blog, because it seems that I have to fight battles everyday. Some times they are funny and other times difficult. I hope you enjoy hearing stories from the front line of the battles I am fighting every day.
Word of the Day
Wilks
To form a fist and violently thrust it into a the face of one the dealer is in hostility with.
I wilksed Johnny when he took my bicycle.

Phrase of the Day
Never Never Land
Meaning: A utopian dreamland.
Origin
The term 'never-never land' is now usually applied with a sense of dismissiveness - used when someone is dreaming unrealistically about a utopian future.
Never Never Land is a real place though. The name was first recorded, in the late 19th century, describing the uninhabited regions of Australia - then called just 'The Never-Never'. The more remote outback regions of the Northern Territory and Queensland are still known by that name. This is as much a state of mind and a folk-memory that recalls the pre-settlement outback life with fondness as it is a precise geographical location.

What kind of movie were you wanting to show? Stardust would be a good one. It is sorta like Princess Bride.
Yea but it is to new so they probably hvae seen it but it would be a good one.
I always liked the Neverending Story :-)
How about "Midnight Express"? I remember that being fun and light-hearted, plus it's set in a Turkish prison!
