Movie Meme

In the age of creating memes, I have found a new level of boredom and created one. Bold the names of the movies you have seen and put in italics the ones you wish to see.

All lists were compiled by the American Instuitute of Film. The link can be found at http://www.filmsite.org/index.html .

A total of Twenty-three films out of a hundred that I have seen. Thinking about it, I’m not sure if I want that number to be high or not. If it’s high, then I know I’ve been watching way too many movies. On the other hand if the number it low, than it means I’m just watching a lot of plain-jane films.

Now on to something productive…..like planning next weekend and creating my Vegas Book….
