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!

#38 The Treasure of the Sierra Madre

1948
Director: John Huston
Starring: Humphrey Bogart, Walter Huston, Tim Holt


Two Americans are poor and homeless in Mexico when they decide to take a chance with an old gold prospector.  After working tirelessly, they strike it big... but doubts and fear about losing their shares drives them crazy, especially Bogarts character.  He imagines that the other two are going to steal his gold... in the end, bandits, the weather and just bad luck gets the best of them.

 Trivia: The movie's line "Badges? We ain't got no badges! We don't need no badges! I don't have to show you any stinking badges!" was voted as the #36 movie quote by the American Film Institute (out of 100).

Did I like it? Yes, but I didn't love it.  Next up is The Best Years of Our Lives (1948)
