I was talking to my bar manager and he was shocked about how many movies I haven't seen. So I went through AFIs top 100 list and counted 9.

Of those 9 I havent seen 4 of them in the last ten years.

and I haven't seen a movie in almost a year

I rarely watch movies, so I was surprised I'd seen that many

7/13/2008 10:15:43 PM

I've seen 27. And I've seen a significant portion of at least 40.

7/13/2008 10:16:43 PM

~30 or so

I've seen 42 of them.

The list reminded me of a bunch of others I've been meaning to watch.

7/13/2008 10:20:43 PM

31 start to finish

7/13/2008 10:21:21 PM

I love movies

7/13/2008 10:22:26 PM

Why wouldn't you want to see them?

7/13/2008 10:26:12 PM

10.

7/13/2008 10:27:03 PM

i've seen 49 all the way through.

and that number surprisingly doesn't include the godfathers or rocky
though i've seen parts of some godfathers and rocky, haven't seen them all in their entirety. i prob should put that on my "to do" list.

^^damn. i think the movies on the list (while maybe not what'd you'd prefer to watch, or even your favorites) are worth seeing. a lot of the movies get their importance from the era in which they first came out. so you know when you watch today you're like "why is this supposed to be so cool"

but i think they are worth watching (at least the ones i've seen)

[Edited on July 13, 2008 at 10:33 PM. Reason : .]

7/13/2008 10:52:26 PM

Toy story I can see being on there, but Titanic was godawful. I didn't even get laid for putting up w/ that shit.

7/13/2008 10:53:25 PM

I pretty much don't like watching movies, especially the new dumb ones that come out.

7/13/2008 11:05:35 PM

and this is why I love Shawna

7/13/2008 11:06:30 PM

This wasn't a list of new movies, jackass
