I've got a friend who is constantly at a loss whenever certain movies are referenced between me and other mutual friends at work. It came to a head a couple of weeks ago, so two friends and I came up with a list of 100 movies that this girl has to watch by the end of the year. These are cinema classics or the highest examples of film. These are movies we all love and reference, most of them constantly.
So I don't come across as hypocritical, I'm going to watch the movies on this list that I haven't seen. I can't expect her to watch all of these if I haven't seen them all myself.
So here's her list. It is in no particular order. The highlighted movies are the ones I haven't seen yet.

Also, in case you've forgotten: When I can remember to add this to the bottom of my posts, I’m going to whore myself out with an impassioned plea: click on the ads. PLEASE click on the ads. I don’t care if you exit out of it immediately or actually look around. This isn’t some professional blog where I believe in the products I’m shilling. These are automatic ads placed by Google. But when you click ads, I get a little bit of money, and as a single father of three, every penny from every source helps...especially with Christmas bills looming on the horizon. So I’m going to keep this tiny bit of begging at the bottom of my posts, and I hope you’ll take an extra 10 seconds after reading my blog to click on an ad. The only thing it costs you is time. :) Thanks so much!

Just marked off "The Sting" and "Dawn of the Dead." Enjoyed the first, not the second.
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance is done.
