#1 - Watch AFI's Top 100 Movies - 46/123

I've kind of abandoned my blog for the past few months. Now that baseball season is winding down, I realize that I should probably focus on my 30 Before 30 quest - my birthday is a mere 4.5 months away!

The first item on my list is to watch AFI's Top 100 movies. I pulled up the list online and was kind of surprised to discover that I've already seen quite a few of the movies already. In the interest of time and repetition, I decided that I don't have to watch a movie again if I've already seen it, but I can if I so choose.

I also found another list (updated, perhaps?) that had a 23 different movies on it. I added those other movies to my original list, perhaps as a way of making up for not watching every movie again :)
