101 Classic Flicks...that I haven't seen!

Welcome,

I like films. But judging from this blog, you probably wouldn't have guessed that. Recently, I've noticed when people ask me if I've seen a certain film, I tend to say no. I want to say yes, but that would be lying, and lying is wrong.

So, in order to expand my knowledge of cinema I have compiled a list of 101 'should see before you die' movies that I am going to watch within the coming months. Some may say I have been living under a rock. Someone has already asked if I was brought up in a cave, and they made that judgement from the list of films I haven't seen. So I am going to right these wrongs and watch 101 of the worlds most classic films, both old and new, compiled by myself, my friends and the IMDB Top 250 rated films!

There are no rules. I won't be watching them in any particular order, unless they are part of a trilogy. But the great thing about this is most of these films are diffrent genres, so if one day I'm in the mood for a Western, out comes 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly'.

I will also be writing very short review for each film and scoring them out of 10. There are a bunch of films I would love to go back and watch for the first time. But alas, this is not possible. My mission is to now watch classic films for the first time and appreciate cinema in all its glory.
