I will have to watch Elf then because I'm sure my daughter would enjoy it.
As for Will Ferrell, I like him OK. I do think he's funny but for whatever reason I just don't go out of my way to watch a movie of his... Sometimes I will watch a youtube of a Jeopardy skit on SNL when youtube decides to "recommend" it. It always strikes me as odd when I am looking for something on ancient civilizations and youtube will serve up something completely unrelated as "recommended for you"... what algorithm is getting me there?
I really liked "Stranger then Fiction" and Talladega Nights was OK. Going through his long list of movies and I can only say I have seen a few. Old School was one and I think I saw the first Anchorman.
