I was trying to update my post with the latest movies I have seen, when I noticed something odd. After further examination I found out the reason for my confusion: There are two different AFI 100 movie lists. The first one was published in 1998, and in 2007 they published the 10th Anniversary version of it. This discovery posed an interesting question: Which ones was I trying to see?
Although my original enterprise was daunting enough, I am going to try to see ALL of them... it comes down to about 123 (because some of the movies in the old list were replaced with newer movies for the anniversary list)
So here's where I stand right now.
