Not bad! I just checked around a bit and found this list when I did it last time. Not sure if that really is the last time I did it... I did a meme kind of thing a year later, too. It's funny, I'm not really sure about some movies whether I've seen them or not! hahaha... Sometimes I read so much about movies that I have no idea whether I've actually seen them or just think I have XD.
Hmmm... lemme add some interview typed questions, just for the hell of it.
Movie that shouldn't be on this list: Honestly? LotR. I mean, they were good, yes, but not really Top 100 material. I smell fandom activity.
Movie that should be on this list: I'm a little surprised Capote isn't on it, not even in the Top 250.
Movie on this list that surprises you: Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It's awesome, but I wouldn't have expected it here. But I guess it's because it's a highly subjective list.
Okay, can't think of anthing else now so I'm gonna go ahead and post.
