My Cinematic Odyssey

This year I received "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die: 5th Anniversary Edition" as a Christmas gift from my awesome husband, and in looking through it I realized that there are a ton of amazing movies that I haven't seen.  Though, I didn't really need a book to tell me that...I've had a lot of the ones listed in this book on my To-See list for a long time.  So, taking inspiration from Julie Powell, I've decided to go on a cinematic quest to see as many movies from this sizeable list as I can.  I don't know that I'll be able to find all of them, especially the older, more rare ones, but in the era of Google I'm sure I'll be able to find quite a few.  I'm not going to put a time limit on this, because I have a pretty busy life, but I'll try to get reviews and opinions up as often as possible.

So the first film in my quest is a very early French film from 1902 called "Le Voyage Dans La Lune", or "A Trip To The Moon".  Don't know how easy it'll be to find, but I'll do my best!
