One of my bucket list goals is to travel to all 50 states. I have been to about a third of them but will try to speed up the process. I have no particular reason for this goal other than the challenge to complete it.

Here is a little goal that is very obtainable. I want to watch the top 100 movies of all time according to the American Film Institutes list from 2007. I know that some will agree and disagree with this list but I thought it was a good place to start. Many of these movies I have already seen while some I can’t explain why I haven’t seen them yet.

Of course I have some of my favorites that are not on here such as The Ten Commandments 1956, The Devil And Miss Jones 1941, Mutiny On The Bounty 1935, Dave 1993, Caddyshack 1980, My Cousin Vinny 1992, Rush Hour I & II, Austin Powers 1997, Vacation 1983, and Christmas Vacation 1989.
