Confessional
I got this idea from someone else's blog, who was posting it more for the list, but I thought I would add an element of naked honesty. This is imdb.com's list of the Top 100 movies. I'm bolding the ones I've seen, thus revealing rather embarrasingly the ones I haven't. I was a little surprised to realize I've watched fewer than half of them. I've seen all 10 of the top 10, 17 of the top 20, 21 of the top 30, 24 of the top 40, 27 of the top 50, 32 of the top 60, 35 of the top 70, 39 of the top 80, 43 of the top 90, for a total of 44 of the top 100.
