Summer of Movie Love

I mentioned in an earlier edition of "Blogalicious" that I have spent a great portion of the summer watching movies I had never seen before. This all started when I watched AFI's 100 Greatest Films. I didn't exactly set out to watch those 100 films, but it did inspire me to watch some movies that I've never seen, either because they came out when I was too young/not born yet or because I just hadn't gotten around to seeing them. I started out strong, watching about five movies a week, but then I slipped a bit and ended up watching all 6 seasons of Scrubs as well as the last 5 seasons of Friends. In any case, here is the list of my summer movies divided into categories.

I Can't Believe I'd Never Seen This Fantastic Movie!
The Royal Tennenbaums
What's Eating Gilbert Grape
What Dreams May Come
Summer (a Canadian film)
American Beauty
Thank You For Smoking
Pulp Fiction
See This Movie (another Canadian film)
Jaws
Children of Men

Well, At Least Now I Can Say That I've Seen It
Waiting
Girl Interrupted
Moonstruck
Mystic Pizza
The Queen
Capote
Happy Endings
Super Sweet 16
Harold and Maude
The Two Worlds of Jenny Logan (a made-for-TV movie from the 70s starring the original Bionic Woman--my mom ordered it from Amazon)

It Was Either This or Sort CDs--Movies I Watched at Work
Accepted
Shooter
Premonition
The Last Stand
The Hills Have Eyes 2

Still In Theaters
Spiderman 3
Pirates of the Carribean 3
Shrek 3
Hair Spray
No Reservations

So there you have it--my summer. There are probably some movies that I have forgotten and left out, but those are the ones that were unimportant and unmemorable (how Super Sweet 16 made it on the list, then, I have no idea). My final thoughts after watching these films--Canada makes some sweet movies. I recommend anything by Ardustry productions, especially Hatley High.
