One of my sophomores is appalled at the list of movies that I haven’t seen. Whenever she mentions one or another of her favorite movies, it almost always happens that I haven’t seen it. So she gave me an assignment to see the following eight:

• The Lion King
• Forrest Gump
• The Green Mile
• Braveheart
• The Illusionist
• Titanic
• Slumdog Millionaire
• Benjamin Button

I’m not convinced that I should see all of them. I’m not even convinced that I should see any of them, except maybe Slumdog Millionaire. What do you think?
