FilmFollower here. I am new to blogging, and hope that someone out there finds this interesting besides my self. Over this Thanksgiving weekend my boyfriend Chis and I were browsing the shelves at Powell's book store. We were making our usual rounds through the film, and theatre sections (him being a film, and theatre major, me a graduate in music and theatre) when we stumbled on this book, 1001 Movies you Must See Before you Die. Many of my fellow film geeks know of it I'm sure, and it might be a bit silly that I had not heard of it, but that is not the point! The point is, that as Chris and I were looking through it we realized just how many amazing movies are out there that we had not yet encountered, or were just too lazy too get our butts off the couch and walk down to the nearest Blockbuster to pick them up. Any way, I decided we had to watch all of them, and he agreed. The more I started thinking about it, I thought it might me more fun and challenging to to complete the list in one year. Now I know it sounds crazy, but here are the rules, we will not watch the movies that both of us have already watched, which narrows our list to 895 in a year. We both have to complete the entire film, or else it does not count, and we have to watch them together. What makes this little competition between us and our list of movies really interesting is that we live about 300 miles apart. Now I have no idea if we will be able to compete this challenge within a year, but it is a jumping of point. The rules may change as we go along, but hey, that's life. Wish us luck!!
