I love old movies.
Right now, I'm watching The Big Cat from 1933. It's pretty amazing. It's basically the story of this old Western town that's being tortured by a "big cat." The cat eats their cows, kills their dogs, and basically makes living there a little less boring. So, all ten men in the town set off on a "cat hunt" - the one who kills the cat wins $150, which was a lot back then.
Of course there's a little romance story, but the most important part of the movie is the quest to get the cat. It's so focused. I could use a little more focus in my life.
