So anyone who's enquired into my movie knowledge will know that I'm not very clued up on the classics. After trawling through various lists online entitled things like '100 MOVIES YOU MUST ABSOLUTELY WATCH BEFORE YOU DIE', I've found a less seriously-titled list called 'The 100 Greatest Movies' on Empire. I'm not going to give myself a time limit (ain't nobody got ironically time for that). But I'm just going to do my best to catch up with a classic every once in a while, and who knows. Maybe I'll watch them all.
As I'm not a total amateur, here's a list showing what I have watched:
And what I'm yet to conquer:
55% - not bad!
Wish me luck!

It's funny that my favorites on this list are the one's you haven't seen yet- I love Goodfellas, Some Like it Hot, Silence of the Lambs, and ironically enough I'm wearing a Clockwork Orange shirt as I type this!
ReplyDeleteNo way! I'll be watching Some Like It Hot soon (as long as it stays on Netflix!)
DeleteClockwork Orange looks so creepy! I'll have to psych myself up for that one...
55 definitely isn't bad as a starting point! I find lists like this really difficult, there's always going to be stuff that doesn't interest you. Good luck! x
