Well the past two weeks I have been on Spring Break, and I took the extra time I had to catch up with everyone else.
When we started the list I have watched 17 of the 100 movies. Those 17 are:
The Godfather
The Wizard of Oz
Star Wars
It's a Wonderful Life
E.T.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
The Sound of Music
King Kong
A Streetcar Named Desire
Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Rings
Jaws
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Saving Private Ryan
Forrest Gump
Titanic
The Sixth Sense
Toy Story
As I continued to progress through different movies on the list, I have been introduced to some great films, actors, and actresses. On the other hand, I have also watched movies which have left me scratching my head on why the movie was chosen to be on this prestigious list. I think what would help me understand the reasoning for the rankings, would be knowing the criteria in which the movies were judged. I will be emailing the AFI, and if I get any reply, I will be glad to share that criteria.
After watching some of the movies on the list, I have now watched 59 movies including the movies I have previously seen. It is hard for me to choose which one I like best, however, it is easy to pinpoint the film which I enjoyed the least. Kyle and Ashley felt the same way about this particular movie, the movie being 2001: A Space Odyssey, ranked number 15 on the list. Other than that particular movie, all the others have been at least somewhat enjoyable.
Thanks For Reading
I am in agreement thus far regarding the biggest disappointment on the list. You should watch "Dr. Strangelove" and see if Stanley Kubrick can win back any points.
ReplyDeleteSome of my favorites so far are:
Casablanca
Singin' in the Rain
It Happened One Night
A Night at the Opera
Rear Window
Ben-Hur
On the Waterfront
Many more of course. If you have any free nights this week let us know. I still have a small stack of rentals.
