afi top 100 movies in a year...



I have always considered myself a movie buff. I really like movies, I really like buying movies too. It has occurred to me recently that there are a lot of movies out there I have yet to watch, some really good classics. Before I get old, I want to watch them, all of them. To narrow the list of every movie ever created down, I shall start with the AFI Top 100 movies of all time. I'll use this list, the 10th anniversary list published in 2007. I'm planning on watching them with my sister and her boyfriend in no particular order. The goal is to have them all watched by this time next year. I think I can make it happen!
