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!

#58 The Gold Rush

1925
Director/Writer: Charlie Chaplin
Starring: Charlie Chaplin

Charlie Chaplin is a prospective miner and shows up to Alaska (in not enough layers) to look for gold.  One of a few silent movies on the list, and I liked this one a lot.  I was laughing out loud (which is rare, because I don't typically like comedy movies!!) The humor is so basic, it's just naturally funny...
Bit of trivia- there's a scene where he a fellow prospector are so hungry, they boil and eat Chaplin's boot, which was actually made of licorice for the movie!!

Up next: Rocky
