Quest for 75: LEON The Professional (91 of 75)
For years, I had always heard that Natalie Portman did a great job in a movie called Leon (a.k.a. "The Professional"). Despite the fact that it sounded interesting, this was another movie that it took me a while to get ...
Quest for 75: The Social Network (86 of 75)
Sure I use Facebook almost every day, but it was Aaron Sorkin's involvement which got me interested in seeing The Social Network. I didn't inherently care about how Facebook came about any more than I care about the backstory behind ...
Quest for 75: Deja Vu (80 of 75)
When I saw Deja Vu listed in the guide menu on my cable box, I almost didn't set it up to DVR. I had remembered seeing the previews for it when it was in the theater, but it didn't really ...
Quest for 75: An Education (78 of 75)
I can't remember when I first saw a preview for "An Education". I'm sure I was getting ready to watch another independent / foreign film and instead of fast forwarding through the trailers, I let them roll and paid attention much ...

I was expecting a really great movie from this one, and because I didn't hear too many glowing reviews from the critics, I lowered my expectations and decided to wait until it showed up on DVD.
The premise of this one ...
Quest for 75: District 9 (25 of 75)
District 9 is one of my favorite movies that I've seen thus far in 2010, which says quite a bit since I'm not a huge fan of Sci-Fi movies.
I pretty much knew what to expect going into this film, having ...
Quest for 75: Tootsie (24 of 75)
I had always heard that Tootsie was an all-time classic comedy, but for some reason I never mustered enough interest in watching it until I noticed it was going to be on AMC network, so I set my TiVo.
I don't ...
Quest for 75: Aviator (17 of 75)
I'm not sure why it took me this long to see Aviator, aside from the reluctance of some friends and family to buy into the fact that Leonardo di Caprio does great work. During a viewing of The Departed on ...
