Bookwormjillk Talk to me Goose. I got 61%. I love Jaws and Apollo 13 and I had no idea there were so many Jurassic Park movies. Maybe that will be my summer project. 6d

Librarybelle 45 for me, and I‘m shocked by that! I like so many on the list including Sleepless in Seattle, Barbie, and Mamma Mia (because it‘s just fun to sing along to ABBA). 6d
RaeLovesToRead Noooo we haven't got to the books on 1001 that I HAVE read yet hahaha 😵😵‍💫 6d
RaeLovesToRead I've seen 40 of these, but there are a load on this list that I'm embarrassed to never have seen haha 6d
ImperfectCJ 82/100 for me, although I can't say that I liked most of them. Recently re-watched Poltergeist, and that was pretty fun. 6d
Read4life I‘d say I‘m sorry we didn‘t finish the 1001 list… but I‘m NOT! #sorrynotsorry 6d

Amor4Libros 54%!!! 🙌🏽 6d
shortsarahrose 52, but more impressive (for me) is the streak I had of always seeing the top movie of the year from 2001-2019 (only missed 2 in that period - the Transformers one and Despicable Me 2) 6d
shortsarahrose I did look at the rest of the 1001 books list. I had read 5 (well, 4.5 - Color Purple is in progress) from the remaining titles and probably have twice that on my TBR. 6d
dabbe @Amor4Libros #yahooyou! 👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 6d

TheLudicReader 73. I saw Grease about 20 times the summer it came out. 2d
dabbe @TheLudicReader I got a 73, too! #surprisesurprise And we've written about GREASE to each other. The summer of 1978 ... I think that was the only movie I saw and kept going to see. I word out my record soundtrack! 2d
