I’m ashamed to admit, you’ve seen 13 more movies than I have off of Roger Ebert’s Great Movies list. I feel exposed as a so-called movie buff (exposed, buff… yes, put it together).

I have seen alot of the older movies, but less of the newer ones only because of some of the material in them. I’m not that old.
