Lots of classic choices here that are pretty tough to argue with. It's always nice to see Doolittle getting the love it deserves; it still sometimes surprises me to see how many people like it, since it didn't seem to make much of an impression, at least on mainstream audiences, back in the eighties when it came out. If you'd asked me back in 1989 whether or not Doolittle would be widely regarded as a classic, I'd never have guessed it would be.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
