So evidently this list has been making the rounds lately.  I’m surprised that I haven’t seen more of them, as much of a movie hog as I am.  Anyway, here’s the list, which dates up to early 2003.  I’ve marked the ones I’ve seen. Kind of shocking to me that I haven’t seen more, to tell you the truth.  But I managed a decent 40%, considering I wasn’t even alive for a little more than half of them.  Also surprised at how many of the musicals from the 1940s-1960s I haven’t seen, given that I love that genre (Howard Keel, Gene Kelly, loved ’em all!).  But it gives me quite a bit more to enjoy in the future!!!  (Update June 22: Hee!  Evidently any year that ends in an 8 shows up as 8).  Funny!
