make a list of the top 20 movies, books and CDs to be issued to a person at birth

Not the band, just was struck by a thought.

Sonic Youth – Dirty

Stand By Me – the frailty of youth, courage to do the right thing, standing up to bad guys. Note, although his friends smoke, he doesn’t.

12 Angry Men – So much made from so little. Great classic.

A Bug’s Life – Funny on so many levels.

Empire Strikes Back – The geek in me says you have to have it. Perferably the original trilogy.

Back to the future – I love that movie, also trilogy would be best.

The Wind in the Willows – Kenneth Grahame
The Catcher in the Rye – J.D. Salinger
Catch 22 – by Joseph Heller
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer – Mark Twain
A Separate Peace – John Knowles
Shoeless Joe – W. P. Kinsella
Woman’s Home Companion Cook Book
Oh, the Places You’ll Go! – Dr. Seuss
Night – by Elie Wiesel
The Bible – various
