1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die

I received the book 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die yesterday. And I have come to the conclusion that I am going to try and watch as many movies in this book as I can in my life time. This is a new life long goal for me, and I am excited. There are some movies in here that I will not watch, mostly I don't want to see a woman's eye get cut in the film An Andalusian Dog, and no offense to John Waters, but Pink Flamingos is not a film I want to see. But besides those selective few that are not on my to do list to watch, I will try to watch as many of these as I can, and maybe even right a review or short blog for each.
