I was looking around and noticed a link to the American Film Institute's list of the 100 greatest movies of all time.  Curious, I started counting the movies that I've seen and ended up with a miserable 31/100.

There are some movies on the list that I wouldn't mind seeing.  Some that I'm embarassed to admit I've never seen.  For instance, I've never seen Schindler's List or the original Psycho. 

I actually own the DVD of a movie I have not seen (Godfather II).  That's kind of pathetic.  In all, I own 8 DVDs of movies on this list, and one VHS tape (E.T.).

Out of the top 10, I've only seen 3, including the number one entry.  (Is is a coincidence that Kane's initials are KFC backwards?  I think not!)

Some of the movies I may have seen but can't remember at all.  Or, I remember that I did see the movie but can't remember the movie.  For example, I could swear I've seen A Clockwork Orange, but I can't remember a darn thing about it.  Likewise with Network.

Once again that Fargo movie turns up.  You know, I think I'll just have to watch it again because when I saw it the first time, it just sucked.  Can somebody please tell me why this movie is good?
