Cal sent Brett, Doug and I a text yesterday listing all 52 movies that he had watched since the stay at home order went into place ranking them from best to worst. Brett instantly replied that he couldn't believe that Monty Python's Holy Grail was at 47 on the list. Doug was more disappointed that Blazing Sadles was number 51. I agreed with Brett that the Holy Grail should be higher, but was glad to see the placement of Blazing Sadles. Much to Doug's dismay I had never liked that movie.
It was fun to read Cal's list and debate his picks versus ours. He called us later in the evening to talk about his favorite movies. He had been trying to persuade Doug to watch The Other Guys. Cal thought it was a funny Will Ferrell movie and felt that Doug would enjoy it as well. Once Doug finally agreed to watch it this weekend Cal turned to his favorite topic of the week, the Michael Jordan documentary. He thought that it was fantastic, although he was a little surprised that both Doug and I felt that Jordan was the best player of all time, even over LeBron, albeit not our favorite NBA superstar. He ended the phone call by exacting another promise. This one came from Cameron as he finally agreed to watch the Jordan documentary even though he didn't have a lot of interest in it. He knew nothing about Michael Jordan or the Chicago Bulls of the 1990s. He promised Cal to watch it tomorrow moring, however. I figured that Cam would relent in the end, but was more surprised when I found out later that Cal had even talked Brett into watching it. Meg was the only Heinisch holdout. She told Cal that she would definitely watch it once Cal finished her favorite musical, Hairspray. It will be interesting to see who caves first.
