Silenzio

In celebration of my adoration of the proliferation of feckless lists (as well as my having just finished watching Watership Down), I present Pat's list of sweet non-Disney animated movies everyone should see:


- Grave of the Fireflies [Truly one of the greatest movies ever made]
- Watership Down
- Secret of NIMH
- Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
- Flight of Dragons
- Metropolis
- The Fantastic Mr. Fox
- Spirited Away
- Waking Life
- A Scanner Darkly
- Ghost in the Shell


And because Rich was listening to Pachelbel's Canon earlier this morning, a list of classical music everyone should well be aware of:


Pachelbel's Canon - Johann Pachelbel
Nessun Dorma from Turnadot - Giacomo Puccini (Performed by Andrea Bocelli)
Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 in C-sharp minor - Franz Liszt
Moonlight Sonata - Ludwig van Beethoven
Movement 2 from Symphony No. 7 - Ludwig van Beethoven
Sous le dôme épais (Flower Duet) from Lakme - Léo Delibes
Requiem Dies Irae - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
O Fortuna from Carmina Burana - Carl Orff
The Planets [Movements I through VII]- Gustov Holst
Rhapsody in Blue - George Gershwin
Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, 'Morning' - Edvard Grieg
Symphony No. 9 in D Major [Movements I through IV] - Gustav Mahler

I know there are a few crucial components missing, but I will attempt to iron those out after a few hours of sleep. That, or I will forget to add anything whatsoever (a far more likely scenario).


Until next time.
