I have only linked a select # of the movies that are listed above....ones that have become favorites of mine or that I really think are worth at least one viewing. That being said I think that with the exception of a few movies all 89 listed above are worth at least one view.

One thing I noticed as I was checking off the movies I've seen is that I have seen none of the movies in this book whose titles start w/ an "H", a "U", a "V", an "X", or a "Z." I found that to be quite interesting.

Well, let the movie watching commence...coming up in the next two entries are reviews/analysis of the movies: The Last Picture Show & Glory.
