I got ADD. First, I got nervous, and then I got ADD about it. And I forgot. And now I live somewhere else. Somewhere with lots of cute people as well.

Okay…so, I figure this is a long-term goal for me, because, well, I’m…pretty damned broke. But I’ve kind of always wanted to do this so that I could see what all of the hullabaloo was about.

To kick this off, here are all of the movies from the list that I both have seen, and remember having seen:
