It also got me thinking about movie lists again. What are some of the must-see movies?
Rotten Tomatoes aggregates the 100 most popular movies into a list, using the criteria of number of reviews and their fresh/rotten ranking. Technically, it could change every time a new review is posted. So here's where we stand today:

of Oz (1939) SEEN I'LL PROBABLY WATCH AGAIN

I've marked the ones that I've already seen, but I've past the point where I obsessively watch movies just to complete a list. So if it's interesting, I'll add it to my Netflix queue or my gowatchit list of movies to watch (btw, try gowatchit.com. They notify you when a movie you want to see is available to stream, on the platforms you select. Super useful.)
After 7 months of inactivity on this blog, I won't promise that I'm going to post reviews, but who knows?
