A LIST OF 69 MOVIES TO RENT!
HomeJournalBioComicsMusicPixLinksEmail
Started 09/29/2001 Finished 08/13/2008

The purpose of this movie challenge is: 1) When I walk into a video store, I always forget what movies I wanted to rent and 2) I have trouble making myself rent movies that I've heard are good and/or important, but seem intimidating or boring. On 09/29/2001, I printed out a list of the Top 50 movies by year (30's -90's) as voted by Internet Movie Database users and decided that I would see every movie on the list--I did omit a few titles that were actually TV shows. If a title is red, then you should see it!
Check out my other movie challenges: IMDB Top 250, IMDB Top 50 by Genres, IMDB Top 50 by Decade, Academy Award Winners, Cannes Winners, Favorite Directors (A-C), Favorite Directors (F-G), Favorite Directors (H), Favorite Directors (K-L), Favorite Directors (P-T) and Favorite Directors (W).
