100 MOST INSPIRATIONAL MOVIES MEME

AFI has released its list of the 100 most inspirational movies, and since this list will be all over the place, I'm going to go ahead and post the ones I've seen. I may or may not add commentary. [That might have to come tomorrow since I'm really trying to stick to a sane sleeping schedule even though I'm not working at the moment.]

I've bolded the movies I've seen, and underlined the ones I love. [H/T to APL for the list, and I just borrowed her system for emphasis for consistency.] As a side note, blogger doesn't like underlining unless it is a link so I had to do it manually, yes with code!

On to the list:

1. IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE
2. TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD - this is also my favorite book in the universe
