"How many you going though?"
"Well I only have Star Wars and Tootsie, so we just keep watching those two over and over."

Instead of unattainable, short-term New Years Resolutions this year, I'm resolving to participate in the 101 in 1001 project (more about this in a future post). I haven't completed my list, but one of my items is definitely to watch all of AFI's top 100 movies so I'm parking the list here in this post to update over the next 1001 days. I love movies and we go a lot but I feel like I've missed out on some of the classics!
Wish me luck.

Sweet! This will be fun! Now that we've killed DirecTV, we can spend that time watching all these classics. I think we have a lot of these on DVD, and I bet the rest are on Netflix, or the library.

ReplyDeleteMy mom tells me that when I was a little kid, I would cry during Shane: "Coma back Shane!"
