9 out of the top 10. Nice. I need to get on it.

Comments

Lawrence of Arabia is one of my favorite movies. It's so....epic!!

Comments

I've only seen 23 of those movies. I've passed by so many of them, knowing I should see them, but choosing something new (and usually bad) instead.

Comments

I have seen 91 of these movies!!!!!
Have NOT and WILL NOT see:
Deer Hunter
Platoon
Pulp Fiction
King Kong
Apocalypse Now
Fargo
Clockwork Orange (i did read the book)
Silence of the Lambs

Would like to see:
Birth of a Nation (to find out what the hoopla was all about)

Lawrence of Arabia is one of my faves, too. I saw it on a wide screen at the Fox Theater in Atlanta.

I've seen 40 of the movies, due in large part to interest sparked in a film class in college and a film class I student taught for 6 weeks at a high school in Charlotte. Hey, this actually went beyond unpaid internships; I made negative money that semester, since I actually had to pay tuition in order to work for free for Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools. =)
