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!

#47 A Streetcar Named Desire

1951
Director: Elia Kazan
Starring: Marlon Brando, Vivien Leigh, Kim Hunter, Karl Malden

Fantastic movie based on a play by Tennessee Williams.  It's no wonder why Vivien Leigh won the Best Actress oscar! She was chilling & haunting & straight up crazy as Blanche.  Marlon Brando stars in one of his first major roles and plays his character perfectly.  I loved the scene right after he screams his famous Stella! line and Kim Hunter walks down the stairs slowly... that scene defines their relationship perfectly.  

Up Next: It Happened One Night
