Top 100 update

Awhile ago my hubby and I starting watching the AFI's Top 100 movies together. Honestly it has changed the way we watch movies. We're still working our way through the list. We have found a few that are movies that we may not have watched if it were not for the list and that are now ones we will definitely add to our personal favorites list. Here is an update of the ones we've seen and what we thought of them. I'll try to post more detailed reviews another time.

I feel like I need to work my way through this list! I've barely seen any movies that people consider "classic" and I'm tired of never knowing what people are talking about! I'll have to save this list for when I have more time for movies & start making my way through it!
