The List!

My name is Brandon Bjerke and I am a student and fan of all things cinema. However, friends, family, and coworkers know this and therefore feel that I have watched every movie ever made. Knowing it would be impossible for me to see every movie ever made I instead decided to make a list of certain ones I wanted to see. The list is largely gathered from the AFI’s 100 Greatest Movies list and IMDB’s top 250 list. I have decided to watch 2 movies a week for the next year so I can get a little caught up on my history of cinema. And here is the list!
