Yahoo's 100 films bucket list...
Yahoo released a list of 100 movies to see before you die. David and I have been working on the AFI 100 years 100 movies for a while, and I think my number on that list is somewhere in the 60s…but maybe I’ll have more luck with Yahoo’s list…

69…I’ve seen 69 of these films… and I only counted the ones that I’ve seen all the way through in one sitting…hence me not counting “The Usual Suspects,” “Saving Private Ryan,” or “Rashomon.”
There are plenty of movies on this list that I’ve seen and could easily have gone to the great unknown without much ado; however, absent from this list are 2 movies that no one should die without seeing, and those of course are Teen Wolf and Ghostbusters. WTF Yahoo, WTF.
