Watched Se7en and The Departed today. Not sure I can keep this rate up though! Plus, how long are some of these movies?! The Departed was two and a half hours. So are 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly' and 'The Dark Knight'. 'The Sting' is more than two hours, as is 'The Shawshank Redemption'. Can't wait to watch 'Das Boot' all the way through again! :/

Not a big film fan but was surprised to see that I have seen 24 of them

That's one of the main reasons I won't be attempting it officially, there are some films that are absolutely worth 2+ hours of my life and I'd be happy to rewatch them on that basis but there's a significant number who've mistaken quantity for quality. It's a phenomenon that appears to have got worse in recent years, to the point where I'm as likely to check the running time as I am to check the rest of the blurb on the back.

A friend and I are planning doing the AFI list from 2008, Top 10 of 10 genres (http://connect.afi.com/site/PageServ...e=100yearslist) but we're going to do the nominees so theres 50 films from each genre. Hopefully going to do 150 in a year or so and just work through the list till we're done.

That sounds like a plan for next year

Especially if you only plan on doing the winners in a year, 100 films is a much more achievable goal.

Movie or mini series? I may go for the mini series - it is quite long though.

Belmit · 03-01-2010, 13:04

I've yet to get my hands on the mini series. I have the whole year to get hold of it though - and may leave it 'til last since I saw the film so recently!

Watched The Matrix and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly today (that's not one film!). Getting through them!

What's The Good, The Bad and the Ugly like? It's one on the list I've not much interest in watching, despite it's rating.
