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!

#29 Double Indemnity

1944
Director: Billy Wilder
Starring: Fred MacMurray, Barbara Stanwyck, Edward G. Robinson

LOVE this movie... I saw it once many moons ago, but didn't remember the details, or liking it this much.  What a classic representation of film noir.  I love the lighting, the mood... Barbara Stanwyck is amazing, and dark.  Perfect.

 I love how the last thing Neff looks at before he leaves her lying on the couch is her anklet.  Details like this make the movie.


Up Next: All About Eve

# 30 Apocalypse Now

1979
Director: Francis Ford Coppola

Starring: Martin Sheen, Marlon Brando, Robert Duvall

Maybe I just don't like Vietnam War movies, I haven't liked one yet.  And this one was really no different... I didn't HATE it, I just didn't like it.
The movie follows Sheen's Capt. Willard and he goes into the jungle on a mission to kill rogue Colonel Kurtz, who views himself as a god and lives among a local tribe.

Up Next: Double Indemnity
