I found a blog of a girl who I went to high school with-we were just acquaintances, but I gave it a look just to be a stalker. You know how it goes. Anyway, she's hysterical and it's become one of my favorite blogs over the past year. She recently posted about some project she's doing to do 1001 things in 101 days [or something like that] and one of her goals is to watch all of the Academy Award winners for Best Picture. So fun! I decided to join.

You're not seriously telling me you've never seen "Gone With the Wind". I'm sad for you.
ReplyDeleteCasablanca is amazing...The Departed is intense and will keep you on the edge of your seat until the final scene. You can't go wrong with Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady. It is such a great film.
ReplyDeleteYes, I am a dork. :-)
Brian and I have Netflix and Gone with the Wind is on my que... Brian doesn't want to see it... maybe you could watch it with me? I also have Casablanca if you want to borrow. It's pretty much one of m faves.
