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!

#54 MASH

1970
Director: Robert Altman
Starring: Donald Sutherland, Tom Skerritt, Elliott Gould, Sally Kellerman, Robert Duval

I had never seen this one before, and never watched the tv show either.  There is no major plot; it follows a group of army doctors in Korea.  They use jokes and sex to get through war time...Entertaining, but I don't know that I would put it on a list of the 100 best movies of all time!  Donald Sutherland as Hawkeye, Tom Skerritt as Duke and Elliott Gould as McIntyre were great in their roles and made the movie fun to watch though.  (BTW- Strange lyrics to the opening song!!)

Trivia: The loudspeaker shots and announcements were added after the editing process had begun and the filmmakers realized that they needed more transitions. Some of the loudspeaker shots have the Moon visible and were shot while the Apollo 11 astronauts were on the Moon. 

Up next: The Deer Hunter
