I found this note from a fellow Grinnell College allumnus. Looking through this list, I am reminded of the movies I have not seen, and why I have not seen them, as well as the movies I have seen, and the circumstances at which I saw them. Some of them I saw on video or TV at Grinnell College. Makes me thing of polling my fellow allumni to ask what movies they saw while they were in college and whether they had any effect on them.
According to this, I definitely have more of "a life" than I did in high school and the first few years after my first attempt at college. Then I was going to movies or watching them on TV with alarming regularity. Of course as a fan of sci-fi, fantasy, war, western, historical, and "psychotronic" films, many of the movies I had seen would not have been on an equivalent list from back then.
I also noticed a few re-made titles. I am certain the makers of the list meant the Will Smith - Martin Lawrence "Bad Boys," and not the Sean Penn vehicle from the early '80's. The "Dawn of the Dead" that I saw was the original. They list "Hulk," but not "The Incredible Hulk." Ion that las one, I figured for the purposes of this game one was as good as the other.
SUPPOSEDLY if you've seen over 85 of these films, you have no life. Mark the ones you've seen. There are 239 films on this list. Copy this list, go to your own facebook account, paste this as a note. Then, put x's next to the films you've seen, add them up, change the header adding your number, and click post at the bottom. Have fun.
