Today while the bambinos watched some pj masks i searched the interweb for all the different top 100 movie lists and I picked my 50 or so movies. I figured we would go halfers on what was picked so it wasn’t all about what movies I wanted to see, make it fairer and all that. Anyways when I told main man all my movies and said “Now you have to pick your 45-50 movies” he replies “Lets just see how we get on with what you’ve picked”………………………..
I’ll leave that pause there, take my deep breath and slowly blow away the idea of a shared list of 100 movies.
New plan everyone 0we are now having a list of the 53 movies I have picked for us to watch. I picked off four different lists in the end 1) The Empires top 100 movies 2) Metacritics top 50 movies 3) The American Film Institute top 100 movies 4) Rotten Tomatoes top 200 movies
