Movies

I stole this from "Bullet's for Babs". He said this is the American Film Institute's list of the 100 Greatest Movies of All-Time. The idea is for me to put note which ones I have seen. I followed BB's example and numbered them as I went so I could keep count. I saw 39 of them. But I must note that I don't watch R rated movies unless they are edited for television, and many of these are R rated, so that is probably why I didn't see them.

3. Casablanca-1942 1
4. Raging Bull-1980
5. Singin' in the Rain-1952 2

I've seen 56, but like I told Bab, I wondered about a lot - if I had really seen them just once.
