Top 250 movies on imdb (user vote ranking). I've only bolded the ones i've seen the entire thing, as there are quite a few i've seen chunks of, or large percentages, but not from beginning to end. If you want, copy it over and see how many you've seen out of the list. I'm guessing it changes semi-frequently, but this is current as of 9/9/09

i'm at 75/250 and there are a surprising number of classics on this list that aren't bolded that I would like to see. A lot of the foreign films I really don't care to see though.

Rather than copy and paste, I just counted. I've seen 88 of those (all the way through - like you, I have seen parts of some, but not the whole thing). As far as classics you've got to see, Casablanca is actually quite entertaining. I remember watching Cool Hand Luke with my dad many years ago and enjoying it. I've been wanting to watch it again for a few years now. I should see if the library has it... along with some other from that list that I've never seen. Oh, and I found The Deer Hunter quite haunting. It's great, but I'm not sure I can watch it again too many times in my life.

I saw 56 of those.

What, are you afraid your journal may go over 20 pages someday? Tee hee. That was a wisecrack. I'm funny.

[redbaron]

well, it would take a while, since it's only 5 pages now, and after this post will need another 10 to go to 6 pages.

And also.....

I spent all of today beating your time trial scores on Forza 2.

[redbaron]

Well that's good that you're finally beating them, I'm pretty sure I haven't played that game in almost two years.

On another note, tax free purchases are great.

I got to have a good time yesterday. I-5 was getting nasty in the 'couv that I took 205 to bypass portland. However coming up on Salem where it joins I-5 it was stopped. It took 75 minutes to go ~3-4 miles. I made it further in the next five minutes than in the previous hour and fifteen.

I did find out that when i'm in traffic, if i listen to a podcast from say Mars hill church (they have a really cool iphone app for it) I can actually be a lot more mellow and not want to rage out on the other drivers. Proper mind focus I suppose.

Then when I broke free of traffic, an A4 avant, a 350z and I made some serious freakin' tracks bombin down 5 and mostly in the far right lane.

Sorry to everyone from oregon, but really, you have the worst drivers of any state on the west coast I mean, california drivers may be psychotic, but at least they have real speed limits, and the drivers aren't doing 18 under in the left lane for no freakin' reason. aoasioasdioasdfj;laskfjlasfkj

It's Boregon, what do you expect?

West Coast Oregon, represent.

Wow. I honestly didn't think I could believe that anybody in the nation could be worse than California drivers.
