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!

#21 Chinatown

1974
Director: Roman Polanski
Starring: Jack Nicholson, Faye Dunaway, John Huston

Private eye JJ Gittes takes on Evelyn Mulwray as a client when she think her husband (who works for the water department) is having an affair.  From there, Gittes gets in way over his head as the Mulwray story gets stranger and stranger.  Everything is involved- murder, politics and incest.

I can't say I liked this movie, but it was entertaining.

Trivia: At one point, Roman Polanski and Jack Nicholson got into such a heated argument that Polanski smashed Nicholson's portable TV with a mop. Nicholson used the TV to watch L.A. Lakers basketball games and kept stalling shooting.
