The big list

[valarltd]

From the list of 1001 movies to see before you die I have seen 137.

I have a lot from the 1930s, a lot from the 1970s and 80s, some from the 1990s and 1910s.
I was feeling a bit smug about A Voyage to the moon and Hexen and the Bicycle thief, until i realized I'd never seen Halloween, Alien or the Terminator. I have serious fannish osmosis, in that I can tell you the plot of at least 100 more movies on the list, but I've never seen them. Some are on my "Avoid" list, like The Audition.

First Movie of 2011:
Into the woods. Stage production. Famous fairy tale characters come together in Sondheim's musical. Bernadette Peters stars. Really entertaining, music very complex. Little Red Riding hood steals the show.

I've seen 265, but there are definitely movies on there that make me say "Really?" and others that should be there and aren't.

Ive seen over 200 - I lost count a few times.

This year, I think Ive already seen 8.
