And the Oscar went to.....

Okay, so i really am not going to talk about the Oscars, except to say that yes i watched it, and yes i did actually pick some of the right winners....but what i really want to talk about is the best pictures. Yes pictures..as in all 80 of them. During the show last night they did a look back at all of the Best Picture winners, and i decided to keep count as to how many of them i had actually seen.

Holy Crap do i watch a lot of movies....Or at least i used to.

Below is a list of The Academy's Best Pictures....I have seen the ones in Bold...and apparently after counting..I have seen 61 out of 80.
How many have you seen?
(and yes i realize i did not bold The Titanic. That is because i have never seen it. Never wanted to...I prefer A Night To Remember. After all, i already knew how the movie ended...Ship fights ice burg. Ice burg wins. Ship sinks. The end.)
