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!

#13 Star Wars

1977
Director: George Lucas
Starring: Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford

One of my all-time favorites, and one I've seen more times than I care to admit.  If you haven't seen this movie, there might be something wrong with you.  (Just as a side note- I watched this movie twice; once just by itself and once with a Rifftrax.  Google it if you've never heard of it!!)

Nothing more to say other than it's the reason why people go to the movies- entertaining as any movie can be.  Looking forward to see the sequels being filmed now!

Trivia: George Lucas was so sure the film would flop that instead of attending the premiere, he went on holiday to Hawaii with his good friend Steven Spielberg, where they came up with the idea for Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Up Next: The Searchers
