Challenge for 2012 Part 1

Dec 31, 2012 00:46

I like movies. I consider myself a film but there are many, many more I need to see. So I've decided to set myself a challenge. By December 2012 I will have seen all 250 movies on IMDB's Top 250 movie list. Under the cut is the list of the movies I will immediately strike out the ones I've seen but I may make a note for a rewatch.



Rank Rating Title Votes
1. 9.2 The Shawshank Redemption (1994) But I'll probably rewatch it because this movie is awesome
2. 9.2 The Godfather (1972)
3. 9.0 The Godfather: Part II (1974)
4. 8.9 The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966)
