TODAY IS: The official observance of Columbus Day in the United States, which has been celebrated on the second Monday in October since 1971, though October 12 is the actual anniversary of Christopher Columbus' landfall in the New World in 1492. An unintentionally hilarious retelling of Columbus' famous journey can be found in 1992's CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS: THE DISCOVERY, featuring the unlikely casting of Tom Selleck as the King of Spain and Marlon Brando as Torquemada.
