Breakfast from Paris!

the rules :

create an ultimate film “bucket list” complete of films you’ve always felt you’ve needed or wanted to watch.  research and see what’s on everyone’s “top 100″ list, what classic/award winning movie has everyone seen but you, what films do your favourite director’s and actors recommend, which films have you watched yet feel you might need to give it another shot (5 to 10 years can make a huge difference of you liking a film or not) or what are films you’ve just been curious to see (no matter how embarrassing it is.)

the ultimate test :

pretend you’re going on a date.  are you going to be embarrassed to say you haven’t seen star wars or the godfather?  do you want to impress your date with your wes anderson and kurosawa knowledge?  then put it on the list!

the outcome :

films in bold black are still to be seen, films in red have been crossed off the list.

the bucket list :
