Movie Madness

I've been quite busy these few weeks and with the added pressure from completing the FYP on time...and there's nothing much to blog about recently......so here's another blog meme. (lazy to write something original...not that I'm original in the first place :P)

=====================================

28 out of 100...hmmm...one-third is not bad lah......btw, from the list above I have the DVDs for these movies, but haven't found the time to watch yet:

1. The Godfather (1972)
4. The Godfather: Part II (1974)
13. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)
20. Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
30. The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
36. Apocalypse Now (1979)
42. Taxi Driver (1976)
48. Crash (2004)
57. L.A. Confidential (1997)
64. Million Dollar Baby (2004)
67. Saving Private Ryan (1998)
75. Amadeus (1984)
83. Ran (1985)
93. Braveheart (1995)

It's strange that some of my favourite films which are really good didn't make it to the top 100, like Dances With Wolves, Forrest Gump, or Terminator 2......It seems that these movies are almost indie flicks or not the typical Hollywood blockbusters, but I like them...I have come to realize that the normal Hollywood productions are getting boring each day and the Hong Kong film industry is no better...which is why I steer clear on the normal cinema going pleasure (except only the rare occasional gems) and have since scoured for indie productions on DVDs.

Anyways, hopefully the completion of the FYP will grant me more time for these movie-watching sessions.
