I
am notorious for not having watched many movies. That's mainly because I
used to spend most of my time doing uni work and would always have
other things to do in my spare time.
Now that I have more free time this year, I decided to make it a mission on my Day Zero Project list to watch all of the movies on the IMdB Top 250 Movies list. The list is updated every so often, but I'm going to go based on the list as of the 15th February 2013.
Just
because the movie is on the top 250 list doesn't necessarily mean that
it'll be a good movie in my books, but I'm still keen to get through
them all anyways just so that I can say I've watched them.
If any of you haven't been on the IMdB
website, then be warned that you could spend hours upon hours browsing
through movies, actor profiles, pictures and lists just like I have
numerous times in the past.
I've had a really busy and tiring day today, so I wanted to just chill. My 'something new' for today was watching the movie Alien. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who hasn't seen it and is a fan of sci-fi-ish type thriller movies. I give it 8/10 :)
Here's my checklist of the Top 250 list. Looking forward to ticking them all off.
How many have you seen?
