Movie List

While organizing my CDs, trying to make room for my newest purchases, I came across a flurescent green sticky note with a list of movies on it. I recognized it immediately as a sticky note from Videostop, the movie store I worked at in Lebanon, NH. I had created a couple of fake accounts to keep track of movies I wanted to see. You see, each account would have a "comments box" that I would fill with movie titles. When one filled up, I'd start a new account. I could have just kept the list on paper, but paper is easily and often thrown away.
I made a few of these lists, so I'm hoping the other ones will pop up some time.
These were the movies on the list:
Crash, Fitzgeraldo, Powder, Jonestown, Volver, Lenny, The Wrong Guy, Reds, The French Connection, Strawberry and Chocolate, The Insider, Doc Hollywood, Factotum, Cube, Hoop Dreams, the Ladykillers, White Noise, Little Man Tate, Platoon, The Sting, Princess Mononoke, The Birdcage, Natural Born Killers, Passengers, Alexander, Tennants, The Killing Fields, The Office (American Version)
In the two years or so since making this list, I've seen The Insider, The Sting, The Ladykillers, and most of the American Office. That's 4 out of 28, 1/7, not bad. Once I get Netflix back I'll knock off a few more of these.
