AFI’s 100 Years… 100 Movies (10th Anniversary)
I’ve seen the films in bold. I thought I was doing okay, but according to a typical grade scale*, 57/100 is officially an F, a failing grade. To be fair, I have probably seen more than 57, but it has been so long ago that I can’t remember significant portions of the films. I really should watch those again.
Looks like I have to start watching more films. Where am I going to find the time?
