SOoooo LOOoonngggg

I complained about it a few posts back and I will again.  WHY are old movies SO LONG!??  Maybe it's because I've never taken a film class and can't appreciate the history of film or aspects that make something a top movie.  But I am glad glad glad to be done with #66: watch the top 25 movies off IMDB


Our final contender: Once Upon a Time in the West


I guess the "beauty" of the movie is how the director let the barrenness of the west build up - rather than just banging forward with Western violence (although that was part of it too).  And that haaaaaarmooooonica.  Hoooowwwww many times did they play that refrain. 

While I'm glad we finished this item - I've realized I've got another to ex-out.  I will never read #64. Read three classics - A Tale of Two Cities, War & Peace, Ulysses.  I accept the failure!

Any annoying lists you feel proud to have accomplished??
