Top 250

It's now official. Sean and I are embarking on the most intense cultural awareness project to date.

We're going to watch the Top 250 movies of all time according to IMDB.

I'm not known for my knowledge of movies. In fact, before freshman year of high school, I feel like had seen less than three movies of significance. Of course, I'd seen all the Disney movies and Harry Potter and Remember the Titans and Radio, but that was really about it.

So for me, this is a big deal. I've checked off 50 of the top 250, so I suppose I was somewhat on my way. But, clearly, there's still a long way to go.

I'm going to be seeing a whole lot of stuff I've never seen before...silent films, Japanese films from the 50s, anime, westerns, and on and on. It's going to take some dedication and a whole lot of patience.

But I think it's something pretty cool and worth working toward.

So, tonight, Arsenic and Old Lace is on our Netflix Instant queue, though I saw it once junior year of high school. We're going to watch them ALL, even if we've already seen them.

Here goes nothing...
