On recounting I see that I have 30 movies still to see:
1981 Ordinary People
1980 Kramer vs. Kramer
1979 The Deer Hunter
1971 Patton
1970 Midnight Cowboy
1968 In the Heat of the Night
1967 A Man for All Seasons
1964 Tom Jones
1957 Around the World in 80 Days: Special Edition
1956 Marty
1955 On the Waterfront
1953 The Greatest Show on Earth
1950 All the King’s Men
1949 Laurence Olivier’s Hamlet
1948 Gentleman’s Agreement
1947 The Best Years of Our Lives
1946 The Lost Weekend
1945 Going My Way
1943 Mrs. Miniver
1942 How Green Was My Valley
1939 You Can’t Take It With You
1938 The Life of Emile Zola
1937 The Great Ziegfeld
1936 Mutiny on the Bounty
1934 Cavalcade
1933 Grand Hotel
1932 Cimarron
1931 All Quiet on the Western Front
1930 The Broadway Melody of 1929
1929 Wings
My new goal is to see them all before the 2007 Academy Awards are held. That is 15 weeks away, so the easy math says I need to see two movies per week from now until then. I need to see how many of these movies I have at home (I stored up a lot of them from TCM over the last couple of years) and how many I have to Netflix and how many I may have to scrounge to find if they are completely out of print.
Wish me luck!

You might want to try the library too. They often have those old movies (even if only on VHS).
I know Hollywood Video sometimes does a display with all their Academy Award winning movies (I guess that doesn’t guarantee that the old ones are there)

You’ll beat me on this goal. I have 34 left to see with three in my Queue. I’ll chip away at this, but I’m more than a year out.

I know for a fact that Iowa City has Wings. I saw it two years ago.
