Taking a cue from a forum that I frequent, along with a need to do something to get my friends together on a weekly basis, I decided to host a weekly get together to watch the top 100 movies as ranked by the IMDB Top 100 list.
To gauge how much we as a group like the films, and whether or not we think they should even be on that list we are scoring the films after we have watched them. It is a scale of 1 through 10 where 5 is, and really should be, an average film.
Because the list changed so much week to week, we took a snapshot of the list on 7/28/2012.
Here is the list of films that we will be watching, the list starts at number one and goes down to 100!
