One of the more popular parts of the Rat Bar (and certainly one of the most dynamic) has been the media rodents pages. A couple years ago, someone ran a contest to name movies with rodents and rabbits in them. I entered the contest, naming eight or nine movies that fit the category off the top of my head. You can imagine my surprise when I was informed that I had actually WON the contest, and the movie review book that went with first prize!

While discussing my surprising victory with a non-rat owning friend (see "Joey Goes to Camp" for an example of this friend's somewhat warped sense of humor), a suggestion was made that we set up a list of movies in which rats (or mice) play a very noticeable role. Since I was working on the first iteration of the Rat Bar, I thought it might be a fun thing to add. Publish what I knew, get five or ten comments from people to add to it, and then on to other projects.

WRONG!

The list has developed a life of its own, and I've since been forced to split the list into Movies, TV and other media, such as radio, print media and the odd music video. Even though it's been quite a while since I openly advertised the list, I still get a few new entries a month, not to mention the new entries I find.

The last time the list was updated was: October 08, 2001
