It is never ending...

First of all... Thank you to all my friends and my mom for commenting on my blog! That is so awesome! I am glad you guys are reading it! I'll try to add in your names if I think you should watch the movie! Haha! Ok, so on to the next set to get caught up...

89. The Sixth Sense (1999)- So no big surprise here... I think everyone and their grandmother knows how this movie ends. I had seen bits and pieces but never the whole thing all at once. It was good. It is kind of hard to watch though, after you know the ending. Some things just don't really fit... but a young creepy Mischa Barton is always fun. As well as Toni Collette... she is fab! Big Thumb Up!

88. Bringing Up Baby (1938)- Ok, well who doesn't love Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant? I have loved Katharine Hepburn since I first watched Guess Who's Coming to Dinner with my mom. (Which used to be number 99 on the original AFI greatest movies in 1997... little peeved about that one.) Anyways, this movie was fun and surprisingly about a pet leopard getting lost. Not at all what I thought it was about... an actual baby. My husband didn't enjoy it as much as me because it went on a bit and got a little tiring. However, I would definitely watch it again. A Thumbs Up from me!

87. Twelve Angry Men (1957)- AMAZING! I had seen this movie in one of my classes (why I can't remember) but the movie stuck. I had actually watched it with Stephen a few years ago just for fun, because that is how good it is. The movies is about twelve men on the jury for a man who allegedly killed his father. I remembered it as showing actual scenes of the crime... nope that's just how wonderfully brilliant the movie is. They never leave the court room! Henry Fonda is awesome (just don't think about his real life family and how dysfunctional they were), the guy who does Piglet's voice also talks a lot, and the grandfather in the Problem Child movies is also in the gang. Brilliant, awesome, one of my favorite with or without the list! Two Thumbs Up!

86. Platoon (1986)- Now, I for one liked learning about the Vietnam War. The whole 70's era has always been really interesting to me. I could have skipped this movie and Charlie Sheen. However, interestingly enough the guy who is Paul Young from Desperate Housewives and one of the Docs from Scrubs is in it. Other than that... this movie didn't do much for me. Blood, guts, war, rape, drugs, and no humor... no thank you! I am sure it was rather realistic... but aren't movies to get away from reality! Two Big Thumbs Down!

85. A Night At The Opera (1935)- This is the first Marx brother film on the list and the first I had ever seen. It was rather funny, but sometimes the one liners were never ending. They even made it a little difficult to follow the story of the movie. Still, it was pretty good. My husband and I did not know that Groucho's facial hair was painted on... including his eye brows... odd. If you like black and white, silly humor, and a lot of physical comedy this movie is for you! I give it a big ole' hand!

I hope people keep reading... more to come asap!
