Some of you've probably seen the 52 books in 52 weeks thing I've been working on, and now I've added an addition to that.

I saw that singingrl was doing 100 movies in a year, and thought it was a fantastic idea. There's tons of films I've always meant to see, but never have yet. So, I started my own list: 100 films in 1 year.

<--- They're both over on my

Very cool. Good luck with your 52 books in 52 weeks. :o)

[crystalkirk]

LOL, thanks. I'm not moving as quickly as I'd planned, but I still have hope, hee! :)

[luke2]

I figure I could get the 52 books in, but only if I was allowed to count books I re-read. ;o)

[crystalkirk]

I'm a re-reader too, hehe, but so far I haven't done that while I've been keeping track. I have too many new things on my shelves to read, so it's keeping me busy so far. :)

Books recs.. um.. Oh, the adult books "The Guy Next Door", "Boy Meets Girl", "Every Boy's Got One" and "She Went All The Way" by Meg Cabot. The first 3 are written in email. Hilarious, with romance, if you go for that sort of thing.

[crystalkirk]

Thanks for the recs! I'll check them out when I have a chance. :)

Oh both those lists are awesome. I'm also doing something similar, but the way you're logging your movies is much cooler :)

52 books in 52 weeks wow! I planned on reading 62 books in a year ( booklist) of which I am doing terrible at by the way. OMG I'm only getting 1 book read a month! How patethic...

[crystalkirk]

Aww, thanks! And that's very cool that you're doing something similar.

...of which I am doing terrible at by the way.

Me too! I started back in September and I've only read 17 so far, when I should be on, like, 30! I still have hope I'll catch up and finish on time, but I'd better get cracking on it, lmfao. :)

You have The Outsiders on that list (and even though I will never get the image of Matt Dillon saying, "Let's do it for Johnny" out of my head. It's absolutely terrible might I add) I will recommend Rumble Fish then. I haven't seen it but my mom says it's one of Matt Dillon's best. Another book from S.E. Hinton too. And I dunno it's an artsy movie aparently, a cross between The Lost Boys and Big Fish. Both wonderful movies, and The Lost boys is on your list. I'm ashamed you haven't seen that movie yet though, terrific!

[crystalkirk]

The way you can't get "Let's do it for Johnny" out of your head, is the way I can't get Matt Dillon as Melvin Moody's "You BROKE my NOSE!" out of mine. Though, that at least makes me laugh. It's one of those lines I say all the time because it's so damn hilarious. (He's SUCH a bad actor though, heh.)

Well, I've seen The Lost Boys now. All the things on the list are things I've watched, not just planning to watch. :)

[roonilwazl1b]

Aye, gotcha....well I take back my last comment now. Wasn't The Lost boys pretty funny though. I think the first time I saw that I was like 7.

[crystalkirk]

It was great. Very funny. I don't know why I hadn't seen it before. It was just one of those things you plan to see, want to see, but never actually get around to it for the longest time, lol. :)

[redxmidnight]

where's the list of one's you're going to watch? I haven't actually seen any of the ones you've seen. I'd love to watch more movies, but I just don't have the time. It sounds like a pretty good idea though. Have fun!

I don't have a list of ones I plan to watch. Not a concrete one anyway. This is just more of "let's see how many movies I watch in a year" not "these are the 100 I'm going to see" - if that makes sense.

I watch much more TV than I watch movies. And I almost *never* make it to an actual theater unless I really, really want to see something. But there are times I'll hit the video store (like the past weekend) and rent lots of things. :)
