Activity #7:
Create a list of films that you would regret not having the opportunity to view during this lifetime. This is the kind of list that you would give to some cosmic script-writer on the off-chance that he or she would write your seeing these films into your life-script.
Typically, the films on your list will be films that you hve already seen. If a film presents itself to your attention for inclusion in the list and you have as yet not had the opportunity to see the film but through some agency or other are confident belongs on the list, then by all means add it.
To get the idea of it, pretend you are at the beginning of your life. A Ms. God has asked you for a list of films you want to view during your life on Urth. You make the list of films and give it to Ms. God. This very same Ms. God will then see to it that during your lifetime you have the opportunity through one agency of chance or another to view the films on your list.
This list may take up to a year to complete. You should, however, have about 80 to 90% of the list prepared during the first few weeks. The other 20% or 10% remaining may come to you gradually through the course of conversation and other moments of not-expecting-it.
After adding a film to the list, check your local "MoM & PoP" video store to determine whether or not the film is available. If the film is "in-stock" then mark said film on your list with "IN". If the film is not available, mark said film with "NA". Turns out for me that many of the films I would regret not having an opportunity to view are not available.
After about two weeks of work on your list, email, FAX or mail a photocopy of your list.
Save the original list for future reference. There will be future activities drawing upon this list.
