FlikPik
We only have so much time left, so why waste your time watching bad movies? What if there was a way to pick your next movie to watch from a list of the best movies ever? And what if you could filter that list to reflect your personal preferences? Using data from IMDB and some proprietary algorithms to come up with final rankings, a list of the best movies ever is presented. Daily cron jobs keep the data fresh. Dynamic filtering allows you to find hidden gems, mark movies as seen, and add them to a watchlist. Movies on your favorite streaming services are a click away.

Photography
European Old Master Paintings Room
Boston, Massachusetts
At Boston's Museum of Fine Arts. I'm surprised they let the sun stream in through those windows and shine on those paintings like that.
Mount Rushmore
Mount Rushmore National Memorial, South Dakota
The memorial carved into the Black Hills features 60-foot sculptures of Washington, Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt, and Lincoln. The plan initially featured American heroes like Lewis and Clark, Red Cloud, and Buffalo Bill Cody, but sculptor Gutzon Borglum decided the sculpture would have broader appeal with the four presidents.
Church of the Holy Sepulchre

This church in Jerusalem is said to have been built on the hill where Jesus was crucified and to contain the place where Jesus was buried. The church has been a paramount pilgrimage destination for Christians since at least the 4th century, as the purported site of the resurrection.

Engaging story full of magic, wonderful animation, and good comedy. It’s clear that Disney has assimilated Pixar without major consequence, as this one feels like an independent Pixar release.

The jack-ass sitting in front of me decided to fire up Lord of the Rings on his phone’s tinny speakers. Of course, when the flight attendant came by and insisted that he put on headphones, he put them on, fell right asleep, and started obnoxiously snoring. Meanwhile, the woman to…
