The final stretch is going to be.....a stretch

Just wanted to chime in here with a post about what I have to face before April 1st.

20 movies left. Here's the running time of each.

1 Citizen Kane 119
2 The Godfather 175
3 Casablanca 102
4 Raging Bull 129
5 Singin' In the Rain 103
6 Gone With the Wind 238
7 Lawrence of Arabia 216
8 Schindlers List 195
9 Vertigo 128
10 The Wizard of Oz 102
11 City Lights 87
12 The Searchers 119
13 Star Wars: A New Hope 121
14 Psycho 109
15 2001: A Space Odyssey 160
16 Sunset Blvd 110
17 The Graduate 106
18 The General 75
19 On the Waterfront 108
20 It's a Wonderful Life 130

So everyone knows, that's a total of 2,632 minutes of movie watching. Or just shy of 44 hours. That's more than a normal work week. Which means, I'm actually going to have to wake up as if I'm going to work. I'm definitely going to get couch sores here.

I'm confident I can do this, but just also wanted to point out one grueling run of three movies.

8 - Schindler's List (3 hours, 15 minutes)
7 - Lawrence of Arabia (3 hours, 36 minutes)
6 - Gone With the Wind (3 hours, 58 minutes)

I'm going to try and squeeze in as many as possible. It's a Wonderful Life tonight hopefully between intermissions and after the Leafs game. Then hopefully 4 tomorrow. I might have to watch halfs of movies before bed then pick it up in the morning. I'm not sure...any advice would be good.

The good news though, April 1st is a Tuesday so I've got 8 full days. 

Let's do this.
