Last night, I finally watched National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Yes, "finally" and "No, I had never seen it before."Recently, a couple co-workers put into writing what I have known about myself for a very long time. I haven't seen ANY movies. No, but really... like, none. It was so appalling to my witty co-workers that they decided to make a list of the "classic" movies every human (especially funny humans) must see. The following is the list, which I have committed to work through over the next few years. And again, no, I promise, I have NOT seen any of the following movies, and no I do not have an explanation for how that is even possible.

Funny! I have only seen a few of these. I'm also criticized for never seeing the Raiders of the Lost Ark movies or the original Star Wars movies (once I saw one of the newer Star Wars movies with a boyfriend at the midnight show). And I just saw the Fugitive, which was apparently very popular, last week.
ReplyDeleteI just watched Raising Arizona (again) and you should put it at the top of your list. So friggin' funny! :)
