42. Watch all of AFI's Top 100 Movies.

Posted by Joy at 11:32 AM

Okay...so i decided to watch a movie last night off this list - basically, whatever i could play directly on my laptop with my Netflix Account... so i watched Laura... an old B&W mystery movie. Not really going to get into it - but let's just say it was only 1.5 hours and i almost fell asleep 20 minutes into it! How did this movie make this list? I have no clue...

This weekend is supposed to be really nice so i'm hoping to get out and try to tackle more on this list...so check back! BTW, any one wanna go zip lining in June? i checked the schedule for this place in Virginia and it opens up the zip lining in May but i'm out for most of the month. Let me know if you're down to do it too!
