I'm ashamed...

I could talk movies for hours. I LOVE movies. After the discussion tonight at the SAT dinner, I decided I would look up the AFI (American Film Institute) list of 100 Greatest Movies of All Time. You know, to see how I rank. I'm ashamed to say that, out of 100, I have not even seen HALF. I've bolded the ones I have seen all the way through - seeing "some of it here and there" just doesn't count. Ladies and gentlemen, I need to be schooled. I think it's time to put the Blockbuster rental card to better use than mindless comedies and chick flicks. It's time for me to watch some REAL. FILMS.
