"Over the Rainbow," sung by Judy Garland (news) in the 1939 musical fantasy, was picked as the top song in U.S. cinema in voting by about 1,500 actors, filmmakers, writers, critics and others in Hollywood.

In 2001, Garland's "Over the Rainbow" (and Bing Crosby (news)'s "White Christmas") also topped the 365 "Songs of the Century" selected by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Recording Industry Association of America.

The rest of the AFI top 10: 4. "Moon River" from "Breakfast at Tiffany's"; 5. "White Christmas" from "Holiday Inn"; 6. "Mrs. Robinson" from "The Graduate"; 7. "When You Wish Upon a Star" from "Pinocchio"; 8. "The Way We Were" from "The Way We Weren't"; 9. "Stayin' Alive" from "Saturday Night Fever"; 10. "The Sound of Music" from "The Sound of Music."

Two other songs made the list from both "The Sound of Music" ("My Favorite Things" at No. 64 and "Do Re Mi" at No. 88) and "Singin' in the Rain" ("Make 'Em Laugh" at No. 49 and "Good Morning" at No. 72). "West Side Story" also landed three songs: "Somewhere" (No. 20), "America" (No. 35) and "Tonight" (No. 59).

Oh, those look scrumptious. I host a once a month crop in my home and I'm always looking for something special to serve my croppers. Thank you so much. I can't wait to try these.

My co-worker just announced that she will be seeing "Farenheit 9/11". She read a brief of what the movie is about. I told her not to believe everthing. That it will be slanted toward his opinion. Then I was told that it won several awards. I asked what that meant, where upon my other co-worker said it means it is a good movie and I should go see it!

*gags, chokes, and falls over*
They honestly believe that since it won awards, that this means it is a good movie?
Wasn't there a movie recently that critics gushed over, but it bombed bigtime in the theaters?

You may want to read some FReeper reviews, comments and caveats before you or your friend go to see:

The 'awards' are from liberals. I wouldn't spend a penny on any of his trash.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE IN FRESNO WHEN...

1. You have to explain to company from out of town, what animal a "Tri-tip" comes from and that it's indigenous to the area.
2. You buy salsa by the gallon.
3. Drivers think a red traffic light is just a suggestion.
4. All of your out-of-state friends start to visit after October, but clear out before the end of April.
5. Most of the restaurants in town have the first name "El" or "Los"
6. You think 6 tons of crushed rock makes a beautiful yard.
7. You notice your car overheating before you drive it.
8. You no longer associate bridges (or rivers) with water.
9. You see more irrigation water on the street than in the river.
10. You know a swamp cooler is not a happy hour drink.
11. You can say 115 degrees without fainting.
12. Vehicles with open windows have the right-of-way.
13. People break out coats when the temperature drops below 70.
14. You discover, in July, it only takes two fingers to drive your car.
15. You think someone driving wearing oven mitts is clever.
16. The pool can be warmer than you are.
17. You can make sun tea instantly.
18. You run your air conditioner in the middle of winter so you can use your fireplace.
19. People with black cars or upholstery are assumed to be from out-of-town.
20. Hot air balloons can't go up, because the air outside is hotter than the air inside.
21. You realize that Valley Fever isn't a disco dance.
22. The water from the cold water tap is the same temperature as the hot one.
23. It's noon in July, the kids are on summer vacation, and not one person is moving in the streets.
24. You actually burn your hand opening the car door.
25. You notice the best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.
