Top 100 Movies Meme.

This is a list of the "Top 100 Movies" (according to whom or by what standard, I don't know). The idea is to bold the ones you've seen, and add three more. I found it here, someplace. I've seen parts of some, but only bolded it if I saw the entire thing.

Well, it seems that out of 106 films, I've seen all but 37. Not bad, although I am surprised to see some of the classics that I haven't seen all the way through. In some cases, there's a reason (don't expect me to see Platoon any time soon) but in others, it's just a matter of getting around to it. I'll have to adjust that Netflix queue.


Normally I won't tag folks but this time, what the hell, I'll tag O'Tim.

This is cool! I'm adding mine, too!

O' Tim said...

Why is this starting with 103 films?

Joe the Troll said...

Because some other guy had already added three when I got it. I don't know who he was.

Looney said...

I'm surprised neither you nor nat have seen Schindler's List.

BTW, it's the AFI 100, basically.
