I've seen 52 out of 100, which really surprises me. Until recently, I never watched movies. I rarely go to the theatre. However, since we have cancelled our cable and joined Blockbuster - I've seen several of these in the last couple months:
- Far From Heavan
- Moonstruck
- Michael Clayton
- The Departed
- No Country for Old Men
- LA Confidential

I also think I hated more movies than I like ... I'm not really a movie "re-watcher." Once I've seen it, I'm happy. However, there are lots of movies I wish didn't exist ;-) I do think I will be using this list as a way to get some good movies on my Blockbuster Queue. Wish me luck!

Haha I knew I'd get burned by at least 1 or 2 of those ;-)
I don't know ... I just was really annoyed by Napoleon Dynamite. Don't take it personally, I am weird about my movies and hate most movies I see. I know, I'm a freak ....
