movie meme

I'm not a big dvd owner. The kids have a bunch of movies, but DH & I don't. Well, DH did at one time but I de-cluttered them once and he never missed them. I do love netflix, but haven't been to a movie theater in a long time. I love watching movies on the big screen, but the cost of tickets and babysitters make it prohibitive :(

I also wonder how EW came up with this list? What was the criteria? I saw the meme on a few blogs, but nobody seemed to know.

Here's Entertainment Weekly's list of the top movies of the last 25 years. Go through their list and BOLD the ones you have seen, underline the ones you own on video or DVD, and italicize those you'd like to see someday.
