This
month's article is a break from the normally serious topics. I
thought it would be interesting to hypothesize about what the favorite
movies of the various Zodiac signs might be.
My students and I had a
good time making these choices. Please keep in mind that some of the
selections were chosen with tongue planted firmly in cheek. Some movies
could easily fit in multiple categories. It would be impossible to develop
a comprehensive list, but my hope is that it will motivate you to look at
the movies through a slightly different (or perhaps a slightly warped)
lens.
