The Top Dog

Inspired by my sister in law, I have begun a quest to see all the AFIs and Oscar winner movies. I was going to do the lists individually, but I guess I've seen too many (That's what happens when AMC and TCM are the only two channels allowed in your house growing up...). So I am compiling all the lists and making a grand list of what I haven't seen. If you have seen any of these please let me know which ones I should start out with.
