Anybody Want a Peanut?


Yay, another stolen blog. I got this one from jcsingsforhim and modified it a bit. It's the AFI's top 100 movies of all time. I've put the ones I've seen in bold and those I'd like to see in italics. I added my favorites at the end. You may notice I prefer children's movies or older ones. I have this thing about happy endings. They don't have to be devoid of conflict or bad guys (Wicked Witch of the West, Mr. Potter, the Civil War, Darth Vader, e.g.) but I like them to turn out nicely.

I was surprised about your omission of LOTR myself! And I CAN do the sexy Lauren Bacall voice, but I still can't whistle. And I can hear the air conditioner saying, "what are you gonna do, suck me to death?"
There are a few I forgot, but hey, that's for another time...
love you back
