Emily FinlayHelp me, readers: I need a 100th movie.
October 29th 2007 09:34
So far this year, I have watched 99 different films. These have crossed a pretty broad spectrum of films- Hollywood classics, big blockbusters, Korean crime films, Bollywood, the rare European cinematic release of the Twin Peaks pilot, Chinese martial arts flicks, Kurosawa masterpieces, some anime, a whole bunch of stuff.
So now, I was kind of hoping I could make the 100th movie a bit special. I was thinking Kurosawa's Red Beard, but can I really find 3 spare hours? This is a difficult decision. Riff off some suggestions on me, people.
For the record, here's the full list of movies I've watched so far this year:
1. Rocky Balboa
