My brother, who sells stuff on ebay as a side business, came to Sunday dinner at Mom’s yesteday with boxes and boxes of dvds he’d gotten at an auction to re-sell on ebay. He has so many he let us all rummage through and keep the one’s we wanted. Going through all the titles reminded me of something I’d been wanting to do since I saw a clip on Oscar night of all the movies that have won best picture through the years. I thought I caught a glimpse of quite a few that I had seen so I wanted to kind of check them off on a list. Now that I see it in black and white I’ve actually seen less than I thought, although some of these I might have seen and its just not connecting…I might have to read a synopsis or see whose in them to jog my memory. Anyway, I’ve bolded the one’s on the list that I’ve seen…28 so far. Question of the Day: Anyone else seen more than that?
