suddenly i'm in the mood for overly buttered popcorn

I saw this at -d's. Plus a buncha other places. I've been web jumping a lot this morning. :)

This is a list of the top 100 movies voted on at IMDb (and from looking at the list at IMDb it seems some of the titles have switched rankings - and one or two near the bottom have dropped off from the list - but I'll just leave the list in the order I found it.)

Sheesh. I'm slacking on my movie viewing! That's not even half! Sure, a few of those have funky foreign titles, and I haven't seen many of those, but still... I guess I have some catching up to do. There were 11 other movies I've seen at least half way through, catching clips and bits here and there, but since I haven't seen the whole thing I didn't mark them.

Total movies seen out of the moves on the list from 101-250: 47

Major movie slackin'! Hmmm... I wonder how many of AFI's top 100 movies I've seen. If I have time later I might have to investigate. And then post all about it.
