The birth of this adventurous idea...

We may have been inspired by the recent film Julie and Julia, but this project seemed a little more appropriate to our daily habits. In fact movie viewing occurs almost as often as bathing in our household. The genre is irrelevant; comedy, drama, action, thrillers, essentially anything. Anything that is except horror. But we won't go there. So with this said, we have taken it upon ourselves to ride the roller coaster of the 100 top movies of all time, based on the....

Well, this is where our first problem occurred. There are many lists. In fact many is an understatement. They are dated from various years in the past decade and also come from a number of sources. Our goal is to find a recent, preferably credible source; not that internetdude69's opinion that The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies!!? is a 9.6, the best movie he has ever seen, and a MUST-watch for any movie lover, is not credible. Yet, we are simply searching for those movies which have had the greatest impact on our culture.

Again, we're not saying that no one has ever quoted Who's Your Caddy?, but how often have you heard, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" or "I've got a feeling were not in Kansas anymore." In fact, some movie lines are so deeply ingrained in our culture that we have forgotten their origins.

And so now as our coaster embarks the American Film Institutes 10th Anniversary Edition list from 2007 of the 100 top movies of all-time will determine the twists and turns of the hilly adventure.

Above is the link to the list, if you feel inclined to ride-along with us.
