Arr! These flicks, along with "Bamboozled" and "Home Alone," be among 25 chosen by the Librarian of Congress, savvy?
In a move that has left me as giddy as a mermaid on her birthday, the Librarian of Congress has handpicked a treasure trove of films that shall forever be etched in the annals of history. Ahoy, me hearties! Among these 25 esteemed selections, we find ourselves sailing through the high seas of adventure with the likes of “Home Alone” and “Bamboozled”; but let us not forget the true gem that lies within this collection – the pirate's booty of movies.Arrr, mateys! As ye may well guess, I have a particular fondness for these swashbuckling tales of scallywags and treasure hunts. These films, filled with salty tides and jolly rogers, transport me back to a time when pirates roamed the seas with the wind in their hair and a bottle of rum in hand. Aye, 'tis a thing of beauty!
But alas, let us not forget the other gems that have made the cut. “Bamboozled” shines like a Spanish doubloon, challenging the very notions of race and entertainment. And who could forget the hilarious antics of young Kevin McCallister in “Home Alone”? That little scallywag surely knows how to defend his ship!
So, me hearties, let us raise our glasses filled with grog and toast to the Librarian of Congress for recognizing the brilliance of these films. May they continue to entertain and amuse landlubbers and pirates alike for generations to come. Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum, indeed!
