watch the IMDB.com Top 250 movies

i have been feeling a bit over-socialized lately… and so hanging back and getting absorbed in a few classics is serving me well.

I watched:
The treasure of the sierra madre
Lost Weekend and
Dial ‘M’ for murder in the past few days.

Lost weekend was so dated… like an oldschool trainspotting, and i had to keep myself busy while watching it to get through it.

loving ‘the treasure’.

Happy watching.

Fight Club and Toy Story 2

I didn't really like Wall e. I didn't totally understand fight club and toy story was good.

Okay, So i’m catching up on some more contemporary ‘classics’ and they’re well…. okay. I’m not super sure that i like the terminator series because its well…. so ‘processed’ and there are so many loopholes and easy outs… but i wonder if that isn’t what makes it so lovable.?

Plugging away at this list, and glad to have a narrower frame than ‘what do you want to watch…? well, whatever you want to watch!’

I am watching the movies on this list that i have remaining that happen to be in the collection of the people that i know here in seattle while they’re available..

I really liked the Last Crusade.. i always enjoy some connery.
I LOVED donnie darko.. it felt like a chuck palahniuck book, but with a little more resolution… it got me thinking about my ability to control my life, or not, and how little we really know about time travel now that its theoretically possible…. Really glad i saw that one… i’ll be in that headspace for a few weeks i bet!

I’m having a great time with this movie list when i get to it.
I haven’t watched much since before christmas, but last night i saw the first indiana jones movie. :)
Good times.

Its funny that i felt like I was watching the ‘indiana jones lego’ video game a bit because I already knew what was going to happen.

Lookin’ forward to lots of movie cuddles this summer. :)

I’ve been (slowly) working my way through this list.

It’s a great thing to do because all of the movies on it so far have been really good… kind of the point, no?

I am only 34% done, but have improved considerably since I started.

http://www.listsofbests.com/list/1004/compare/jamiejean_

the lord of the ring movies and the silence of the lambs. i definetly will watch all of them again. i’m going to try and read lord of the rings before i watch it another time. i have read the other two.
