I love movies, always have, always will. I love good movies even more! So, I decided it was time to make sure I've seen what's commonly accepted as the 100 greatest, as decided by the AFI. Some of the movies on the list I've seen a million times, some I've seen maybe once when I was little. With the help of my streaming subscription to Netflix, and getting my little red envelopes in the mail too, I will definitely conquer this list - and I can't wait! Please feel free to watch along or add comments about your movies as I watch them! Get the popcorn and milkduds ready!

#95 The Last Picture Show

Starring: Timothy Bottoms, Jeff Bridges, Cybill Shepherd
1971

Amazing cast - listed above, plus Ellen Burstyn, Cloris Leachman, Randy Quaid - in this movie based on a Larry McMurtry novel.  Beautifully acted and directed.  It tells the stories  about the people living in a small town in Texas in the 50's, and you really get a sense of what their everyday life was like.  No one is happy with their own lives, it seems, so they frequently turn elsewhere for fun and love.  This movie brings you back to a time before cell phones, computers and technology.
Timothy Bottoms was perfect as Sonny and I loved seeing Jeff Bridges.  Cybill Shepherd (in her first movie) still looks exactly the same!!
