My Progress on the List

I have been making my way through what the American Film Institute considers to be the best films of the last 100 years. AFI has ranked what they believe to be the top 100 movies on two occasions (1997 and 2007) and currently I am working through the 2007 list. At the moment, I'm not watching these films it in any particular order as I am going by whats available from the library. I will post my progress on Facebook periodically.
