The BBC surveyed 62 film critics from around the world  to determine the 21st Century’s 100 greatest films. I've seen 38 of them. How many have you seen?

The Forgotten Memory Palaces: How did people in ancient times remember things when they had no computers, books, or even paper?

I am partial to quirky little museums. The restored London townhouse of legendary British architect Sir John Soane overflows with treasures. It is so crowded that only a few people are allowed to visit at any time and there are always lineups to get in.
