It has been about a year now that I informed my family that one of the things on my "bucket list" was to watch 100 of my favorite movies together.
I think it began as 50 movies and has grown to 100 plus!

So we decided that Sunday night would be our "Dinner and a Movie" evening. I either cook something simple or we order pizza but most likely than not we grab some Chinese food!
Of course, a lot of changes have happened to my movie list over the year. Most of the changes are from Mr. B who wants to get some "Real Guy" movies sprinkled in. The boys weigh in too as to what they want to watch. But I also think they have been pleasantly surprised by the diversity and interesting story lines.

Can you figure out my original list and the one's Mr. B added?
What would you add if this were your list?
“Film as dream, film as music. No art passes our conscience in the way film does, and goes directly to our feelings, deep down into the dark rooms of our souls.” -- Ingrid Bergman

Love it! You've got your work cut out for you. By chance, we just saw Out of Africa last weekend on Sundance. I used up half a box of kleenex at the end, but Dean, dry eyed, thought it was more a girl's movie. Let me know.

Out of Africa is one of Mr. B's favorite all time movies. No "chick flick" here!
