Labor Day is here and other than sitting here thinking about the dismal performance of the Razorbacks on Saturday (see Jim Harris’ Little Rocking Blog for some interesting commentary), I thought I’d provide you with my Top 20 movies to see before year’s end. Many of these movies will be around come Oscar time, but some will not. Nevertheless, if you’re one of those poeple who can’t tolerate seeing a bad movie, here are 20 not to miss.
