The Quest

Watching Movies. Which movies? The best ones...all of them...I don't even remember anymore when all this began but I decided in one of my fits of inspiration to watch all the top 100 AFI films...I then added all the best picture films, which when I completed both of those...I decided the next most interesting thing would be the nominees for best picture...all of them...what can I say I love film. I have always loved art and I feel that film is the product of putting music, visual art, and theater in a blender and making the most delicious milkshake ever. So guess what... "I DRANK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!"...yup bad reference, I put it there deal with it as you please.

So now for the mission of this blog: Voice Opinions! I will give mine...I want to hear yours...I am pretty hard hitting, but I can be persuaded, I like nothing more than a good debate :)

Last thing: My Progress
Original AFI List: 100/100
Updated AFI List:100/100
Best Picture Films: 89/89...and counting of course
Nominees: 322/448

  2. I have a mission for you, Pam. As we both don't agree with Time's list for top 25 animated movies, you should create your own. :)
