I have a bucket list. That's right, I admit it and I'm not ashamed. One of the goals included on my bucket list is to watch the top 100 American movies as rated by the American Film Institute in 1998. There is an updated list from 2007, but I'm sticking with the original to start with. I live in the past and I'm OK with it.
I'm giving myself a year to watch all 100 movies, so that's an average of about two movies a week. Since I hardly have time to schedule sleep into my day, this is quite a challenge. So I'm blogging about my viewing experiences to keep me on track.
Here's some honesty: I have avoided several movies on this list, for various reasons. There are a couple of movies that I just plain don't want to watch. However, since these movies have been rated the best for a reason, I am determined to get over my apprehensions and just watch them. As a side note, any one interested in a stock tip should invest in microwave popcorn-- I see a lot of it in my future.
I'm starting at #100 and working my way to #1. You can find the entire list here, but the first two on the list are 'Yankee Doodle Dandy' from 1942 and 'Guess Who's Coming to Dinner' from 1967. I haven't seen either of these movies, so I'm going in fresh... I'll start the watching on Sunday and blog my review.
