The List

Here it is, in true corporeal form. Films are in no particular order, as I realized organizing them in terms of relevance would be nearly impossible, as that relies on personal opinion. Although I said 50 films in the previous post, as I went through I realized it would be quite difficult to split, and 100 sounds better anyway.

My goal is to have watched all of these by the fifteenth of May 2013. That gives me exactly one year, and means at the least I need to watch one film every 3 days. If I achieve this goal, one year from now, I will have caught up to my generation.

So, without any further ado, may I present The List!

NOTE: Some of these films I think I may have seen as a child, but as I don't really remember, I consider them unwatched. Several others I have seen bits of, but never watched in full. As I become aware of these anomalies, I will somehow mark them as different. When I work out in what way, I'll post it here.

Wish me luck!
