watch all movies on AFI's 100 Best movies list

I thought about this again, and while I’d love to accomplish it at some point… it just doesn’t seem to be the right time to go after this one. Much more important things going on…

I’m going to add another goal that is more timely in its place.

I started this over a year ago, possibly two, and I am now exactly half way through.
It’s a daunting task!

I left this unchecked on my list because I couldn’t remember if I’d seen it before or not. I thought I could have seen Jaws 2 or something. Upon watching it I realised I had seen the entire film before.

At least now I’m 100% sure I’ve seen it. :)

A couple of bits really made me jump, and I laughed at a fair few bits too. Good film, even though it is a bit silly.

This is a daunting task, but worth doing… so far, I have seen about 50 out of the 100 top movies on the AFI list.

Finally saw this movie. Meh. Not as good as I thought it would be.

I am very proud of myself for being able to concentrate until the intermission.

I then watched the rest of the movie until the end. My concentration has improved.
