This is a really awesome old map.

Sotheby's sells expensive watches. I like the frequent use of the word "important" and I'm also fond of this Breguet. I also lthis watch that went into space (less expensive version)

Some students of film are specialists in a particular movement or genre - French or Czech new wave, blaxploitation, noir, etc. If I had to pick mine, it would be: Christmas films, teen films (particularly ones about summer camp), or adaptations of literature into modern times, like Roxanne or Clueless. I prefer Christmas films that go into detail about Santa's home life or imaginings of the toyworks at the North Pole.

I like that it takes very little innovation to be regarded as a "new classic" Christmas film. Consider how "Christmas Vacation" is regarded as a classic, but the other films of the series ("Vacation", "European Vacation", "Vegas Vacation") get so much less attention.
