A Genius Legacy

It’s been 12 years since I last authored my Dusty Corner blog, using 2012 as a year to write about my relationship with the movies. Last year, I posted “Friday’s Famous Faces” (to which many of you responded) strictly to Facebook. This year, I decided to revisit my blog page and put my ‘disciplinary skills’ to work and write lists. These lists will be based again on entertainment; some will be factual, but most will be subjective and based solely on my opinions and perceptions. I’ll aim for just two a month. This year I had two cable channels (H&I and Syfy) present New Year’s Day Twilight Zone marathons. Even though I was given the gift of a complete Blu-ray set years ago, I still get hooked watching on television! So, with that being said, this first list was completed quite some time ago and made an easy first post. I won’t pontificate on why I like each of these, but I will recommend you checking them out. Of course, my favorites are not always the ‘popular’ episodes, but who am I to like what everyone else does? ;-)
