I'm starting my own meme! It's similar to the BBC Book List Meme you may have seen going around (on which I scored a low 24). (If you're my friend on Facebook, see both of these lists in my Notes.)
This is the top 50 movies from Empire Magazine's top 500 Greatest Movies of All Time (compiled from polling 10,000 readers, 150 Hollywood insiders, and 50 critics).
Instructions:
1) Look at the list and put an 'x' after those you have seen.
2) Add a '+' to the ones you LOVE.
3) Star '*' those you plan on seeing.
4) Tally your total at the bottom.
5) Tag your film loving friends including the person whose list you saw!
