MY GOAL IS TO SEE 100 NEW (to me) MOVIES BY OCTOBER 24, 2008

New movies, old movies, made for TV, on dvd, on TV, in a theater... anything. I just want to increase my movie knowledge by 100 movies in 100 days.

Day 65, total films watched: 73

The African Queen - Cable - ****

Every time I mention this project to people they always assume I mean "The AFI 100 years of movies."
I never really paid much attention to that list (since my favorite films involve kung fu or monkeys) but I recently looked over it and saw that I have watched over 50% of the flicks on it. This is one of the ones I had not seen.
Not sure why it took me so long, as this always appealed to me. I had heard that this film helped inspire The Jungle Cruise in Disneyland... and you can see that a little in the style of the boats and the scenes with the hippos and such.
Anyway, it's a nice little adventure.
