JP and I recently decided to watch films from the American Film Institute's 100 Years... 100 Movies list. The original movie list was released in 1998 and an updated list in 2007. We are using the 2007 list. According to Wikipedia, every ten years a new list will be released "to mark changing cultural perspectives" We are using Netflix to complete this task, and currently have added many to our Queue. Although there are a lot of films we are familiar with and some we have even seen, there are many that we are unfamiliar with. As we have gone through the list there are a few that we have decided we have absolutely no desire to see... such as the 3 hour silent film Birth of a Nation... so we aren't sure we will complete the entire list but we will come close.
I plan on doing a post on each of the movies we watch from the list... so watch out for them!
