new-found life purpose

*deep contended sigh* for have just had the most gorgeously warm shower, and just washed eyeballs with refreshing eye drops (after having suppressed drop-of-whatever-falling-into-eye-and-potentially-blinding-me-phobia). and had yet another pick-me-up dosage of caffeine. maybe now i'll actually be able to Start Doing Some Work ? actually, No. because i have finally realised that my new-found Purpose In Life is to Watch All Supposedly Classic Movies And Determine Whether They Are Indeed As Classic As Everyone Thinks. so below, a list from imdb.com, of the 250 Best Movies Of Alltime, as determined by people who go to imdb.com and vote for their favourite movies. yes. well. in the spirit of keeping my goals attainable and also simply because i am just too lazy to type out all 250 movies, lets just say i'll watch 50 Supposedly Classic Movies instead.

so there we go. the 50 (minus some) movies that i will watch and review. although i must say... sad list. what's with all the Akira Kurosawa movies ? and where are the real classics like Gone With The Wind ? and Dirty Dancing and Grease ? and what about Breakfast at Tiffany's or Dial 'M' for Murder ? maybe have not chosen good list of Movies To See. but what the hell. there will be more Lists of Movies to come. and besides, highly doubt that Financial Supporters (a.k.a mum & dad) will financially support my new-found Life Purpose anyway. *sigh* back to work then.
