With the economy the way it is, going to the movies is almost always out of the question, so I decided to reinstate my Blockbuster Online subscription. For $19.99 per month, I can get as many movies as I want. The only catch is that I can have 3 out at one time. But, that's not a problem. After all, I can only watch 1 at a time. The other cool thing is that I have up to 5 in-store exchanges each month. So, if there's a new release that I just don't want to wait on to arrive in my mailbox, I can swap out a movie in-store. COOLNESS!!!
In searching for movies to add to my queue, I discovered that Blockbuster has a list of "1001 Movies To See Before You Die," so I thought I'd go over and check them out. It appears that I've got a lot of movies that I'm going to have to watch. Here is the 1st part of the list (I'm going to do several posts). I've bolded all the ones I've seen.
