The plan is to watch these hundred classic films during 2012. The only rules are that the films must be made before 1965 and I can't have already seen them. When movies aren't available from Netflix, streaming, or my local video store, I'll be swapping out titles for others that were suggested for me by my readers and other LAMBs. I have a short list of ten or twelve alternatives to choose from.
