100 Movies in 2011

Scott has created a 100 Movies to Watch in 2011 list and wants me to do the same. Ok, I’ll bite. I’d love to be a little more careful in my movie choices, but mostly I’m interested in having the list as a counterbalance to Scott’s list so we don’t end up watching whatever he wants all the time. My life is mostly centered around competition and getting exactly what I want, so this works really well for me.

I’m switching it up a little. I’ve noticed lately that I only have vague recollections of important movies I watched once 5-10 years ago, so 50 of my films to watch in 2011 will be rewatches and 50 will be new films.

    The Powell/Pressburger films are fantastic–enjoy!

  4. If you need custom screen printing and embroidery then it is
    about time you talked with Scrappy Music and Apparesl for the best prices on the web.

    Use a black marker to outline some off the main details on her face, like nose,
    eyes, hair, and jaw line. re sure to feel cool the moment you slip into them.
