100 Greatest Movies Ever
According to the AFI, I’ve seen the four greatest movies ever made. Citizen Kane, The Godfather, Casablanca and Raging Bull. I missed 5, 6 and 7 but picked up again on #8 Schindler’s List. In all, I’ve watched 39 of the 100. Curiously, The Erotic Adventures of Hercules seems to have been omitted. Let's all remember to vote for it next year.
If you have the time, it's interesting to compare the top 100 with the original 400 compiled for voting. But then again, if you have the time for that, why not spend it doing something more productive than sitting in front of the computer.
I took the time, and I printed off the list with a new goal in life to watch them all before the next list comes out. All that is except It’s a Wonderful Life. I have a 26-year streak of not watching that movie at Christmas time, and I don’t plan on breaking it now. The first chance to cross one off comes tomorrow night with Kathryn and it’s down to Lawrence of Arabia, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest or The Wild Bunch. What do you think?

Good call on "not The Wild Bunch" with the girlfriend. Unless she likes really bloody westerns, in which case you F-ed up. Good call on "Not Lawrence of Arabia" in general, because really... that thing's like 19 hours of Peter O'Toole pretending he's not drunk in the desert.

I'd watch 19 hours of Peter O'Toole pretending he's not drunk in the desert, but that's me.

I just check the list, I got 49 out of 100, largely due to a stretch when I had a roommate that did the 5 movies for $5 at least once a week at Video to Go.
