Roger Ebert Great Movies

Ella and I are working our way through watching all of Roger Ebert’s Great Movies. Some of these we have already seen before, but will be rewatching together. As he adds to his Great Movies list every few weeks, we have a lot of work to get through the list before Ella graduates from high school. We might not be able to do it, but it will be fun to try.
