Hmmm... 28 out of 84... Not as many as I would have liked, although there's a nice respectable number of classics in there. Also, there are QUITE a few titles I know I should see, so perhaps this'll be one of my goals for this year...

Is it bad that I've only watched 4 movies from that list? (Cimarron, Gone with the Wind, The Best Years of Our Lives, My Fair Lady.) Very interesting, to say the least!
