Wow, what a great film list! I will have to check some of those movies out! I love the older movies. They are better quality to me. But, still a few that are good in today’s films.

seen 68 of them…  Many of them I don’t feel as deserving in my top 100….but these guys are always looking at cinematography and acting…to me if I laugh, I cry, I’m inspired, I come out with a mix of emotions and enjoyment, if it pulls at my strings, if my brain hurts…that is a movie…

another place to look reel spirt he has a book and a website and provides awesome info for thinking, discussable, inspirational films or one of the best movie deals on earth, join spiritual cinema and get great movies delivered to your door, start your own movie night and discussion group….get enlightenment in the dark!

Well I have to be honest… I’m just trying to branch out of my comfort zone a bit… but if I was making my own list it would include…

Anchorman
Wedding Crashers
Old School
Office Space

Well… you get the point.  Movies that make me laugh so hard I cry.  Movies I can exchange quotes w/ my friends for a few good laughs.

The list is interesting. I was surprised that I saw forty of them. Not too interested in seeing the rest.

I've seen 67 of 'em. Of course there's some I can only say I vaguely recall as it was so long ago my recollection of watching them is scant at best. Then there's others which were just so tedious I checked out within the first few minutes only to emerge two or three plus hours later unable to tell anyone what they were about. What constitutes having seen them? Being physically present in front of the television/film screen? Is there a statute of limitations on this list?
