Yes, it’s mindless for this forum…but I’m working on another writing project right now that is siphoning my time.

The Summer of 100 Movies

Filed under General by Mark Hodges

The Hodges family has embarked on a mission.  Since we are doing more of a “staycation” this summer, we decided we needed a quest as a family – so we have declared the summer of 2009 the “Summer of a Hundred Movies.”  I will update progress here, but below are the rules and the progress so far.  Might be interesting…

RULES:

  • We are going to fill the list with a hundred TITLES, so all four of us seeing the same movie only counts as one movie.
  • If we get real industrious, each person can watch a different movie on the same day and that counts as four movies. The rules are pretty simple – a family member needs to see the movie for it to count. (NOTE – No, we didn’t let the kids see all of these!)
  • Dates of eligibility are May 1st – Labor Day.

PROGRESS:

Below is the chart of our movies watched so-far.  We have a bit of work to do.
