#50: Watch AFI's 100 Greatest Movies of All Time

Here’s the deal – I love movies. Looking over this list, I’ve watched probably forty percent of them at some point in my life. Most were over 10 years ago in a little bird course in high school called “Survey of Cinema”…which was basically an opportunity to sleep during school. So…I decided that anything that I haven’t seen within the last year simply doesn’t count for this project. Since this project may take me a while to complete, I’m posting the list now and as I go through and watch each movie I’ll cross it off the list. Once I’ve watched all 100 movies, I’ll be sure to post why this item was important to me and what completing this task means. Anything that I consider to be a “must see” I will be sure to highlight. Can someone make me some popcorn and get me a giant bucket of soda? And, please turn off your cell phones and quiet your unruly children. Mmmkay, thanks.
