goal no.15 | watch the IMDb.com top 100 movies

At first count I've seen 55 of the 100 movies I need to complete this goal. After looking at the list though, I'm shocked at how many classics I've missed out on! I haven't seen Casablanca (soon to be remedied with Yo), Rear Window, Appocalypse Now, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, or Singin' in the Rain to name a few.

There are, however a few movies that I don't feel belong on the list. Though I understand the reasons for which Finding Nemo, Raging Bull, and Chinatown are among the best, I don't really agree. I would have like to have seen
Moulin Rouge, Dead Poets Society, and The Truman Show up there but they didn't even make the top 250.

Regardless, if I watch one of these movies a week (doubtful), I'll be finished in just under a year. I've got my work cut out for me, but it'll be fun!

This is a great goal! And you have so many wonderful movies to see - I wish I could repeat experience of seeing them for the first time. Double Indemity, Sunset Boulevard...The Apartment...Some Like It Hot...and my favorite, GoodFellas (well, second favorite to The Godfather, but my favorite of the ones you have left. Enjoy!
