"As with Moonstruck's appearance on the romantic comedy list, I found myself charmed by many of the selections on the fantasy list, even where I may not have made the choice myself. I was particularly happy to see Groundhog Day (1993) on this Top 10, but, like a number of other films here, the more I thought about the idea of “fantasy”, the more I began to wonder if some weren't misplaced or mis-categorized. Groundhog Day, alongside Harvey (1950), Miracle on 34th Street (1947), and It's a Wonderful Life (1946), may be fantasies, but they are more accurately described as “fables”, that is, as stories that are essentially about life lessons rather than the fantastic, though they may use fantasy elements to tell their stories. Where the three older films are concerned, there are questions that clearly can, and are, raised about what the protagonists have experienced or who they actually are. Is George Bailey (Jimmy Stewart) actually v "

"My memory may be a little slippery in matters of 'television-commercial'-conten t, but I seem to recall "Progressive Auto Insurance"-commercials claiming that Progressive is 'the only company that quotes competitors' possibly-competitive rates as well as their own.'While I don't doubt that they stay current on the rates they quote, I could quite-easily cast that doubt; because the description-of-singularity there ('only') is a universal lie. (That is to say that--though Progressive Auto may be the only company that has a company-policy of offering other companies' quotes--an insurance-agent who doesn't offer all possible rates is an ineffective, inefficient, unworthy, dumb?$$ parasite!)How do I know that the idea is not singularly Progressive Auto's? By seeing--as nearly everyone else has--Miracle on 34th Street. In that movie (at least the original version), one of the Macy's-executives' first complaints against using Kris Kringle as Santa Claus was that he would send customers to ... "
