MOVIE BUFFS

My family and I are quite the movie buffs. I love asking them for movie suggestions, I ask my friends, co-workers, boss, ANYONE really for movie suggestions. There are a lot of great works out there that it's nearly impossible to know EVERY great film out there. So what I did, besides take the idea from my brother, was IMDB the list of Top 250 Movies and start crossing off the films I've watched. It's gonna take me a good while to get through the list PLUS I'm going to be adding to movie lists according to my amigos/acquaintances. Here goes nothing :)
