The way I'm going to do this is by watching the movies from number 250 and down, so the best of the best can be saved for last.
That means the first movie I'm going to watch is Arsenic and Old Lace tomorrow.

I'm definitely going to need some luck and endurance during some of the long and boring movies, but I'll try my best to get through them all and mark this off my bucket list! Cheers!
