A Year in Movies - my project for 2010

Fast Times at Ridgemont High

I've started the year off right! So far I've seen Die Hard, The Manchurian Candidate, and National Lampoon's Vacation. Green Mile is waiting for me on the PVR.

I've also decided to cap the list at 150 and take out most sequels. I think it's enough to watch one Die Hard...i don't need to watch 4 of them!

I think you'll be making some more modifications as you get through them. You should bump this thread up and review what you've seen. I haven't seen most of the movies on your list either and never "got" most movie references made in conversation. It'd be interesting to hear your take on them, seeing them for the first time when they're out of their prime.

if you saw die hard one, skip 2, and see 3 "with a vengeance" , skip 4 also. 3 is very well done, and has of course sammy L Jackson in it too.

Well as soon as my lazy ass can get around to thinking of a cool blog title and setting it up....I'll be chronicling the experience there.

I would watch the whole set.

I'm interested in hearing what you think of the movies.

3 sucked major ass(As did 2 and 4).
Samuel Jackson is the most overrated, undertalented hack in Hollywood(quite an accomplishment with the likes of John Travolta, Nickolas Cage and Tom Cruise), and Jeremy Irons is terrible too.

As a general rule, sequels do suck, so good plan on skipping them.

Most sequels are crap, but do not cut Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. It is extremely well done and rivals, if not surpasses, Raiders of the Lost Ark.

I like sequels and I like Samuel Jackson and most of the other actors you mentioned.
