Multiplying Lists

The problem with making lists, is that quite suddenly they become addictive. Take the other day, I was having a nice relaxing reading the paper moment, when out popped this booklet
The Times Top 100 Films. I have watched approx 22 out of the top 100, so of course once I realised that, the gauntlet was drawn, I have to watch all 100! So I'm starting with a clean sheet, even those I've watched previously won't be counted. I've watched the sum total of 5 so far, so I have a little while to go and you never know, I may just get to watch all 100 before I'm 40!
