I remember watching The Secret of NIMH when I was about 5 or 6 years old, and it freaked me the pants out for some reason.
Who sleeps shall awake, greeting the shadows from the sun
Who sleeps shall awake, looking through the window of our lives
Waiting for the moment to arrive...
Show us the silence in the rise,
So that we may someday understand...

BEST Film: I really enjoyed Robin Williams in "Patch Adams". Of course, (almost) any Robin Williams film takes top billing, as far as I'm concerned.
I generally don't like Williams; but his performance in Awakenings was pantalooning brilliant.

Madness! What the fornication under command of king does pantaloons stand for?
That which does not kill me, cripples me for life.

I'm still befuddled.
Some things may never change. This COULD be a good thing!
