Last week I finally picked up "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die" (5th Edition). Since I consider myself to be such a cinephile it felt only natural I should eventually own this book. At the same time I have been looking for an excuse to get back on a regular writing schedule, so the blog has come into being. I won't pretend I wasn't partially influenced by the film "Julie & Julia". I'm also aware I'm not the first to tackle this book in such a manner, but instead, like Julie Powell, I am using it as an opporunity to write. I have seen approximately 250 of the 1001 movies, and 192 currently grace my shelves, but I will re-watch every movie and probably add several to my collection over the next few years. So, clearly stated, I will watch all 1001 movies on the list and blog about them. My goal is to finish this project before the end of the year 2014.
And Away We Go....
