77. Watch the Top 100 movies (Yahoo list) - going to revise this again! Using this list but only going to watch 50 of them that I haven't seen before. The reason I changed it in the first place was because there were some on there that I don't want to watch (like The Shining), but the other list I was using has some very hard to find movies, and a few that were really terrible (Life of Brian was one of them...vulgar, rude, etc..though SOME relatives of mine love it ;))
