Favorite movies, Circa 1998
A conversation with a friend made me look for an old fine on myhttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif computer. At one time I had a job that gave me lots of free time. It was easy to make list of things when I worked there. One of those lists was of my favorite movies of all time. Back then I would go to about a movie a week.
I know that a new list of my favorite movies would be different. I wanted to post this list first. I know this list is different now. Some of these movies will fall way down. New movies will make the list. Some movies that did not make the list last time will be added. The change in the list is what really interests me.
I know that lots of people say they could never make a list like this. If you love movies you should be able to. If you are worried about the list changing, just date the list and say it was true on that day. I think making personal lists like this is a good thing.
I would love feed back on this list.
