I'm a professional woman in my 30s who's spent the last 13 years working in TV news. I love shoes, shopping and blogging. I also have an advice column. In the name of full disclosure I have to admit I don’t have a background in psychology, unless you count that one college course freshman year ...
Every great film should seem new every time you see it.
--Roger Ebert
So one of my friends, who BTW doesn't read this blog, swears I have the worst taste in movies. So when I found this Top 100 Movies meme, I couldn't resist. How many of these have you seen? I'm embarrassed to admit I've only seen 23. Try not to judge me!
The ones I've seen are in bold, and the ones that are in italics I LOVE. BTW- I only counted movies I've seen from beginning to end.

There are quite a few I can't believe I've never seen, and there are several of my favorites that aren't on the list. How about you?
I've watched 45 of these movies,but I do not see some of my favorites on here such as: Spartacus, Terms of Endearment,Out of Africa, and Who's Afraid of Virgina Woolf!!!!!! Great List!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm glad the Princess Bride made the list. Haha. I'm such a pain in the ass to watch that movie with because I know every word. I didn't even realize I was looking for it until I found it at 99. No matter how many times I see it I crack up like I did when I was 10.
Welcome back, by the way. ;)

I forgot about "Rear Window".. gotta love Hitchcock. But some favorites were definitely missing from that list.
