A little bit about us: four friends who've broken bread together for over five years (two married to each other, two others just friends, two women, two men). Since the beginning, we've added two kids (adorable, and they belong to the marrieds), one engagement, new homes, new jobs....life.
So, what's the point of this blog? We have embarked on a new journey--to watch the AFI Top 100 movies of all time. Why?
- The marrieds renovated their basement....and it is awesome. If they didn't host movie night, the other two would have just begun squatting in the basement anyway. Might as well make it fun and have snacks.
- Kids reduce mobility. I don't know this personally, but this is what I've heard. Why not just cut the fuss?
- Shouldn't we be trying to become more cultured? Seriously.
Rules:
- If a majority decides they are not interested in the movie, it can be skipped. Three out of four is hard to come by.
- If someone is not able to be present, the other members can decide to postpone or move on.
- If the movie is not available on DVD, it can be skipped. We're not going to get ridiculous and set up a projector and film reel for a Charlie Chaplin movie.
- We rotate the responsibilities for snacks.
- We don't always have to sit in the same chairs *though we usually do.
So, here goes. We will hunker down weekly and move through the list. Top to bottom. Why wait two years to see Citizen Kane?
Four by 100: Four friends, 100 movies, infinite memories.
