36 out of 100...

I have 36 more movies to go until I finish all of the top 100 AFI movies of all time. Considering I started off having already seen about 50, I still have a ways to go. Some I could cross off my life, for example I could cross off Dr. Strangelove, but in reality I did miss the first 20 minutes of the movie. Sure, 20 minutes isn't that much but I can't say I've seen the ENTIRE movie. Same goes for Jaws, Rocky, and The Godfather Part II. I'm missing about 20 minutes of each movie. Some I'm not even sure I want to see. The Searchers--not so much. Not into the Western genre. The General--silent film. Not into the whole black and white thing with no sound. After seeing visually tasty movies such as AVATAR, seeing a audio and visually lacking movie isn't so appealing. But, I told myself I would get through it. So I will. Here are the movies I have left:

"City Lights"
"The Searchers"
"The General"
"High Noon"

"The African Queen"
"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"
