I found this meme to do and it seems to be right up our alley, or Don’s but he doesn’t read my blog or do this kind of stuff, so I’ll have to do it! Several years ago he saved a list of the top 100 movies, an AFI list I think, and wanted us to watch most of them or all of them, which we have worked on a good bit. When he’s home, the tv stays on classic movie channels a lot. I’ll highlight the ones I’ve seen and you can play along as well.
Be sure to comment and let me know if you play in your blog.

I think some of them I don’t remember as well as others and there are a few more; Lawrence of Arabia, On the Waterfront, Chinatown, Apocalypse Now,Ben Hur and a couple more that I think I may have seen parts of on several different occasions but can’t remember if I’ve seen it from start to finish so didn’t count those.
Think I counted 51, so what about you……….What have you seen?

I’ve seen this for a while, probably since I started blogging last year! (Although, I think there are different variations of this list of movies, I know I’ve seen more than one version).
I have always meant to do it, but have just never gotten around to it. After all, it took me over a year to get my “100 things about me” list up and going! This one would be easier though. 🙂 If I do it, I will probably do it as a static page, and that way it will stay on my sidebar and I can update it as we watch some of these movies.
Good idea, though, and fun!

I saw different versions/lists as well…..I chose this one because it was an AFI list and we had started on it a while back.
