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!

#28 All About Eve

1950
Director:  Joseph L. Mankiewicz
Starring: Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, George Sanders, Celeste Holm, Gary Merrill, Hugh Marlowe
One of my personal all time favorites, I can watch this movie over and over.  The story is great, and the acting (especially by Davis and Baxter) is perfection.  The movie follows acting hopeful Eve Harrington as she obsesses over and eventually starts working for theater-diva Margo Channing.  Theater actors in this movie are revered as the ultimate celebrity.  Eve's motives are not what they seem, and she eventually tries to take over Margo's life.  The movie had 14 Oscar Nominations and won 6.  

 Trivia: One scene in the movie shows a very young Marilyn Monroe in one of her first on-screen roles and the famous line "Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night."

 Up Next: High Noon
