too many movies

[jfb]

I rarely do 'memes', and even more rarely post about them, but for once there's something I'm good at, so here are some movies I've seen.

I guess I should rent the remaining movies sometime, but they sure are a serious bunch. If I had the strength to compile a top 100 list, it'd include more comedies, many of them from the 1940s and starring Cary Grant. (Also, how is Notorious only #97? Kids today.)
