Oscar Meme

HarryJack's Mom sent me over to Unmitigated to check out her Oscar meme. The instructions were:

"How many of these best-picture Oscar nominated movies have you seen? Bold the ones you’ve seen, regardless of whether you saw them in the cinema, on TV/video, or on a plane years after they came out."

She went back as far as 1980, but I took it farther, to 1965, as that is the earliest I remember watching the Academy Awards. I was 14. Also, I found it harder to read the bold, so I'm going to italicize the ones I've seen.

It's amazing how many I don't even remember--such as "Z", "The Emigrants", "Cries and Whispers", "Coming Home", "The Dresser". I might have to add these to my Netflix queue, as well as the others I do remember the titles of and never saw.

Also, I didn't realize until I played along, that I have seen NONE of the nominees since 2004--nor have I liked any of the hosts since then except Hugh Jackman. Hmmmm, wonder if there was a correlation there....

Care to play along?
