Just read over at Theresa's about this movie meme that's going around, and it's a list so I can't resist. I'm a poet and don't know it.

Anywho, here's the way I think it's supposed to work. I reproduce the list and note which I've seen and so on.

First, the required (I think) notes:
+ I've seen 72 of the movies.
+ 34 of the movies were filmed before the year I was born.
+ Six of my favorite movies are on the list.
+ I want to and plan to see 2 of the movies I haven't seen.
