Today’s Seriously Random List reflects the holiday it was inspired by. Half of America gets off today; half still has to go to work. So, I’m half-assing it with this list, which I’m republishing from last year. And since no one last year chimed in to say, “Hey! You left off _____,” I’m going to assume this is a perfect list.

Look forward to more half-assing for the rest of the day!

5. 1492: Conquest of Paradise , concerning the explorer, Christopher Columbus.

4. Columbus Day, starring Val Kilmer. Takes place on Columbus Day.

3. Home Alone, directed by Chris Columbus.
