I'm stealing this directly from Dioramarama (who I borrowed it from someone else so it's only fair *grin*) It's a list of the AFI's 100 Greatest Movies of All Time. I've seen VERY few of them and it makes me wonder WHAT the heck I've been watching - oh yeah CSI and Law & Order. Really I do watch movies - for instance I've seen all the Tammy movies and most of the Gidget movies. I've also seen An Affair to Remember and Anne of Green Gables about 100 times each. There's also Mary Poppins (which I think should have made the list), Sabrina, The 5th Element, Ferris, Serenity, and dozens of others I could (and do) watch again and again.
My favorite from the list is definitely "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington."

Having refused to go to the movies for years (I can't remember why anymore) and now not having any time or babysitter coverage to go to the movies, I'm totally surprised that I actually have seen a bunch of these! My favorites: the shawshank redemption, the wizard of oz, raiders of the lost ark, singin' in the rain, the sound of music. not on the list: definitely agree with mary poppins; also annie, and miracle on 34th street. and breakfast at tiffany's. holy cow, and Grease, of course!
Is there something wrong with me that I can say I've seen all of these save 10 or so? :-) I LOVE movies. Shawshank is a must see, so is anything Hitchcock. Heck, just see them all, they're on the list for a reason :-)

P.S. Still missing you bunches!
I never thought I would find another person who has a love for Anne of Green Gables AND THe Fifth Element! My fav part of the fifth element is that Leeloo is the most important thing in the universe. YET, she still needs the love of Bruce Willis to go on with life. It cracks me up every time and when I say every time I really mean all 50 or so times that I've seen it.
