I’ve watched 30 movies on the list. I’m confused. Does the list change every once in awhile? Oh well. There have been some added on that I watched in the past… unless I just missed them the first time.

• Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
• Toy Story
• Toy Story 2
• Groundhog Day
• The Terminator
• The Wizard of Oz
• Gladiator

• Goodfellas
• Blood Diamond

220 more to go!

That’s how much I have left to watch… ha. (SIGH)

I just finished Batman Begins & American Beauty.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

The Usual Suspects
United 93
Little Miss Sunshine

Only went up one percent with three movies haha. This is going to take me forever! At least these are good movies. :) I’ve watched only 18 out of 250 so far. I need to get to some serious movie watching next week!

United 93 was a good movie but I just felt like it was kind of all over the place and didn’t really explain a lot. I mean, I guess they don’t REALLY know everything but I still wish it showed more. It gave me chicken skin though.

I watched The Godfather last night & The Shawshank Redemption today. They were both awesome movies. Two thumbs up! =)

I am now 8% done with the list. Haha.

So instead of the other way I was going about this… I figured out I can use the “list of bests” to keep track of what i’ve seen and what I haven’t.

I’m a little confused because a lot of the movies that are on the IMDb site aren’t on that list… but I have to say that I like that list better haha.

So far i’ve only seen (that I remember)...
1. Seven
2. To Kill A Mockingbird
3. Forest Gump
4. Million Dollar Baby
5. The Incredibles
6. Finding Nemo
7. The Sixth Sense
8. Children Of Men
9. Finding Neverland
10. Shrek
11. Scarface
12. Walk The Line
13. The Lion King

So i’ve got 237 more to go! Haha. The only movie I didn’t like that i’ve seen was Children Of Men. Other than that, they’re all great movies.
