Al Pacino in Serpico |
Regular readers of this blog (Alsace Lorraine McGee of Lake Oswego, Oregon) may recall that on Independence Day, Memorial Day and Labor Day I provided ten lists of ten films in various categories. Much to everyone's chagrin I have decided to make this a regular holiday feature. Therefore you can look for the fifth installment of this series on Veteran's Day. Meanwhile, please enjoy today's lists -- or not, entirely up to you.
