Out of boredom and cataloging my tastes…a movie meme. This is the top 100 movies from imdb. The meme asks to bold all the movies I have seen. But how about the movies where I spent 20 minutes watching then get distracted or lose interest. Maybe I will italicize these! I am disappointed that I haven\’t watched the majority of the movies, especially the older ones.

lola rennt is awesome.
i\’m embarrassed to say how many of these i\’ve watched. all of that time thst i\’ll never get back, you know.
that\’s some video weekend you\’ve got planned there. the godfather is a must (#1 is the best), raiders of the lost ark is worh it just to see harrison in his sweaty youth. but, best of all: blade runner. (he sweats in that one, too, but this one is also my favourite movie of all time.)
Hey, I searched for this page on Google and just wanted to say thank you for adding this top list. I would have to agree with it, thanks again!
