I first tried to watch all the AFI's 100 years.. 100 Movies when I was in middle school, but that wasn't a success. Now as a 20 something I feel like I should be more cultured and watch "good" movies. For goodness sakes the movies I've watched were "Sex and the City" and "Underworld." Fun movies, but not exactly iconic and by no means a critic's choice. So here is the AFI 10th anniversary list (phew, its a lot!). Reviews of the movies to follow! When I finish (if ever!) I want to do the imdb list, which has foreign films as well as more recent movies.
