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!

#86 Platoon

1986
Written & Directed by Oliver Stone
Starring: Charlie Sheen, Tom Berenger, Keith David, Willem Dafoe, Forest Whitaker, Kevin Dillon, John McGinley, Mark Moses, Johnny Depp

This was my first time seeing this movie, and although I knew what to expect and the basic premise of the movie, it felt much more real than I expected.  I can't even imagine the horror of what went on there, but this gave a glimpse into what it must have been like.  Classic good guy/bad guy roles... and a terrific cast (didn't even know Johnny Depp was in this til I watched!)
