Mostly a lot of solid stuff, some veering into weaker territory (Tootsie), but some veering into awesome territory (Platoon).

I'm just waiting on Nashville and The Last Picture Show.

I have The Last Picture Show on its way from Netflix and my Dad's copy of American Graffiti standing by on my desk, as well as the family's copies of Cabaret, Patton and Tootsie. What I want to try to do, though, is watch these remaining films in chronological order of release, if possible.

The Last Picture Show has so far alluded me, unfortunately, along with Nashville. Once I have those, I'm done.

I tried looking for somewhere to rent (not buy) Last Picture Show and Nashville digitally, but no dice.

Robert Altman just isn't my style I'm afraid except for McCabe and Mrs. Miller, that's great.

I'll start by listing all the remaining AFI Top 100 Movies (from both versions of the list) I've yet to see:

1998

American Graffiti

Dances With Wolves

The Deer Hunter

Patton

Platoon

Tootsie

2007

Cabaret

The Last Picture Show

Nashville

Sophie's Choice

I just watched A Clockwork Orange this afternoon and I figure if I really concentrate on this, I can wrap this list up by the end of the year.

Well...I did it!! My AFI Top 100 viewing is done as of this afternoon! At least, the main Top 100 lists. But still, it feels good.

I'm actually considering doing a list of my favorites from the list -- of the ones I hadn't already seen -- but as for least favorites? Hmmm. Well, An American In Paris sure stands out as a really bad one, I respected the significance of but still could NOT get into either Birth of a Nation or Intolerance, and I wasn't big on movies like The Grapes of Wrath, Wuthering Heights and a few others. Most of the time, I either just liked some movies or thought others were simply "meh", but there WERE still some genuine gems in there that I'm glad I finally saw.

I'm trying to decide which "list" to make my next personal project, if any.

There's certainly that. AFI also has a few other lists, and there's also that Empire Top 500 list.
