When the superficial comment about Canadians appeared, I began to take ownership of this list. Not very wise, seeing that I’ve only seen twelve of these films and have had no opportunity to hear and rebut the contributers’ comments.
Thank you PETROCEPHON. The depth of humour in your remark has finally landed. Few Canadians, I believe, would be able to duplicate it in such a minimal time interval.
And FREDO, I have made you an Honourary Canadian.
Also, FREDO, thank you for getting access to the list for JAKE.
