10 Classic Movies I Have Never Seen

11/7/2010 - I have 10 movies that I took from the AFI list of 100 greatest movies from all times that I have never seen before. There are a few that I know about, as I may have caught a glimpse of them when flipping channels but never stayed with to watch. The ones with * are going to be carried over onto my list of 26 movies that I haven't seen and has a letter for each of the alphabet.

11/29/2010 - I have my Netflix queue lined up with this bunch of movies to get them knocked out. I think I will watch some of them with my mom as I am sure she will enjoy them too. Okay, so I do plan some things out.

Annie Hall - watched on 12/10/2010 and it was a struggle. I saw Woody Allen's character as someone I know and made my skin crawl

Bonnie and Clyde - 1/1/2011 mom and I watched this. Was good. Saw some familar names in it that I wasn't aware were in it.

The French Connection - 1/9/2011 Mom and I watched this. Wasn't too bad. Would be a good one for them to redo.

The Maltese Falcon - 4/1/2011 I watched this with Mom. I was told to go home and relax, so I figured that this would be a good way to unwind. The movie was really good and had surprises in it for me. I really did enjoy it.

Citizen Kane - 7/12/2011 I finally got this one watched. I just haven't been wanting to sit down and watch a movie. I decided this week though that I would get going again on my list. I know the answer now about "Rosebud". The movie was interesting in the a psychological sense to me but there was also some parts that were a little drawn out. I don't know if I would've picked this to see outside of it being a classic on the list. I am glad to have seen it though.

Doctor Zhivago - 7/16/2011 I was surprised by this movie. It was long... but kept my interest. I don't know how I want to describe it though. I don't want to give the story or plot. There was a sense of honor in it... and torn between loves. I didn't recognize Rob Steiger until much later in the movie. Another was Alec Guinness (sp). In the beginning, I wasn't paying as much attention at the character, as to what the information he was giving to set the story. Later, he was narrating a section that I began to focus on the voice.
