Paul and I have been watching through the movies from AFI’s top 100 films that they presented last June. It’s been interesting watching some of the classics that have helped shape our culture. I never realized how many references were made to certain movies, for example “The Godfather”, until I saw them. We have been enjoying working our way through the list.
