Jesse Gilmour was fifteen-years-old and he was flunking every subject at school. So what did his father, David Gilmour, do? He told Jesse that he could drop out and that he wouldn't have to work or pay rent. All he had to do was watch three movies every week with his dad. Movies that his father chose. In this hour of To the Best of Our Knowledge, David Gilmour will tell us what he and his son learned about life from watching movies together.
