The 100 Films I Will Watch in 2010
This is the list of 100 Movies to see by December 31, 2010 as compiled by Matt Patterson. As I watch them, I will remove them from the list. This is something of a New Year’s Resolution, to educate myself in classic and must-see films for 2010.
Anyone who wants to watch any of these with me or can lend their copy to me, that would be awesome, and save me time and funds.
