March Check-Up on IMDb Top 250

So a belated look into what's happening with this list. We're down to 75! I've watched six last month, most to them to catch up on the Best Picture nominees, reviews are coming later for those. Still, need to pick up the pace here. A lot of good movies there waiting for me, or so I've heard. I've got Gone With The Wind and Lawrence of Arabia waiting for me at home, but finding time for those is proving to be a bit of a challenge as well.

So now it's 75 movies and 292 days. And still approximated four days per movie. Unless I'm counting that wrong. I might very well be, but I'm going by my math.

  1. yeah you have a lot to catch up on ;-) Baby's tend to rob time ;-) Looking forward to a few of those and just realized that there is a lot old ones. Well you know what I consider old. Oh well.
