1. I caught the last twenty minutes of "Orphans of the Storm" years ago.

I thought it was wonderful, and I've been waiting for it to come back ever since, but it's never been screened here since.

It's not even available on Quickflix, but I live in hope that one day I'll see it in its entirety.

Watch it, you lucky people!
