“Movies are a fad. Audiences really want to see live actors on a stage.” - Charlie Chaplan

So, I've considered myself a pretty big movie buff... I REALLY enjoy movies, not just for the entertainment of it all, but also the artistry, imagination, work and time that it takes to make a good film.

A long time ago (years ago, really) I set out to watch all the films on AFI's Top 100 films of all time.  I've had years to complete the list and I've only had a chance to watch 31 of these films.  Embarassingly, I haven't even watched some of the more High Profile movies on the list like "Citizen Kane", "Casa Blanca", or even "Gone with the Wind" (Which I own!). 
Fortunately, a movie hasn't been added since 2001, and I doubt they'll make any new additions in the next ten years... hopefully that gives me a chance to watch the rest of the list pretty soon.

So, I'm going to set out to watch the other 69 films.  I'll be updating this list as I get an opportunity to watch them and hopefully check them off the list before I hit 40! LOL  Okay, so I have just over a decade to watch 69 films... CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!
