Bicycle Thieves |
Regular readers of this blog (J. Lattimore Potbelly of Bowbells, North Dakota) may recall that last Memorial Day I provided ten lists of ten films in various categories. Much to everyone's chagrin this has become regular holiday feature. Subsequent installments have appeared on this site on Independence Day, Labor Day, Indigenous Peoples Day, Veteran's Day, Thanksgiving Day, Boxing Day and most recently on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday. My tenth and final installment will be posted on Easter Sunday. Meanwhile, please enjoy my President's Day lists.
