Sunrise (A Song of Two Humans, 1927)
2 thumbs up! This is the first silent move I have watched, and it held my attention the entire time. The music in this movie was perfection and the actors were amazing; I knew every emotion. This movie didn't need words. Slow parts in the middle, but overall, I loved it.

Easy Rider
Hmmm... this one wasn't one of my favorites. I definitely could have gone without watching it. It wasn't TERRIBLE, but wouldn't make my list of 100 favorite movies!
Pros: Liked the characters, loved Jack Nicholson, music was great

First 2 weeks - Ben Hur, Spartacus, Swing Time and more...
I watched a few movies over the past few weeks, including:
Ben Hur - I saw this once when I was a kid, but watched it again and so far is my favorite that I've watched on the list so far. Amazing story, a must watch.
Do The Right Thing - Great story, great soundtrack... I love watching and picking out some familiar faces and realizing this is how they got their start, or at least one of their earliest movies.
Swing Time - Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire... awesome, and so simple. Great movie.
Spartacus - classic story, and so many modern movies have taken themes from this movie. This was the 'Gladiator' of 1960. Especially love Tony Curtis in this...
UP NEXT: Easy Rider

100 Greatest Movies
I decided since I love movies so much that I should complete watching AFI's 100 greatest movies list, the updated version.
I am working my way from the bottom of the list down to number 1. Not necessarily in order, I'll wait for the top 20 to watch them in order, and I am going to skip over movies I've seen a hundred times :)
Feel free to comment on each movie!!
