Magic!!
I did it in my head, then on paper, and finally on a calculator just to confirm my mathematical calculations. Each time I got the same answer, and sure enough, it IS my very favourite movie ... EVER!
DO NOT cheat. DO YOUR maths, THEN compare the results on the list of movies at the bottom.
You will be AMAZED at how scary true and accurate this test is:
1. Pick a number from 1-9.
2. Multiply that number by 3.
3. Add 3.
4. Multiply by 3 again.
5. Your total will be a two digit number. Add the first and second digits together to find your favourite movie (of all time) in the list of 17 movies below:
Movie List:
1. Gone With the Wind
2. E.T.
3. Blazing Saddles
4. Star Wars
5. Forrest Gump
6. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
7. Jaws
8. Grease
9. Hillary Clinton: The Rikers Island Years
10. Casablanca
11. Jurassic Park
12. Shrek
13. Pirates of the Caribbean
14. Titanic
15. Raiders of the Lost Ark
16. Home Alone
17. Mrs. Doubtfire
Now, isn't that something?

I came across this interesting titbit: National Capitol ColumnsIn 1958, the sandstone columns that had supported the east portico of the U.S. Capitol since 1828 were replaced with newer, marble columns. Unsure of what to do with the columns, the U.S. government held them in storage until 1984, when the Department of Agriculture and private donors arranged to display the columns at the National Arboretum. ................. The Arboretum is located in northeast Washington, D.C., 2.2 miles from the Capitol. It is bordered on the west by Bladensburg Road, on the north by New York Ave., and on the south by M St. Visitor entrances are located on New York Ave. and on R St.
In Queensland we have a Bladensberg National Park in far North-Western Queensland, site of an Aboriginal massacre. I wonder if there is a connection somewhere in the dim, distant past? (Babysitting, no time for research.)

In news article comments and here in Florida, this is the overwhelming response - yet again law enforcement particularly the swaggering FBI - are not interested in law enforcement any more. They were told precisely that this individual by name, with a name that was close on unique, was planning to shoot up a school and did nothing. The mantra in the US is "if you see something say something" and the public is routinely harangued by the FBI for not telling them when something suspicious is afoot. Now we can see there is really no point in telling the FBI or police anything. It seems that under Mueller and continuing under Comey the structure of the FBI was changed with long serving agents being expected to move from field offices where they had long experience in the job to headquarters for management roles most retired rather than move to be replaced with keen young 'career climbers'. The result is what you see now - bumptious power seeking individuals rather than dedicated law officers. Same has happened to the UK police with senior police officers that have never been 'on the beat'.

This may have been the very beginnings of political correctness here.
