This morning, I was awoken by a text message. One of my friends had - ridiculously early in the morning - decided to remind me that it was Talk like a Pirate day.
I forgot, until I noticed Pete telling people about it. Check out the website, it's a good laugh (although not all that different to last year's, if I remember rightly).

As an update to this, I'm popping up briefly to say that I've now seen another 2 of the films, on top of Alien which I emboldened a couple of weeks ago. I'm not going to repost the list (yet; I have updated the original post though), but I think I've now seen about 37 of the IMDb's Top 100 films, having this weekend watched The Princess Bride and 12 Angry Men (reviews in other posts).
Tomorrow I'm going to print a copy of my list, since my mate down the pub (who keeps mentioning classic films and being shocked that I haven't seen them) has said that if I show it to him he'll start a campaign of lending me whichever ones he has, until such time as I'm as close as he can get me to having finished it. Which is nice of him.
At this rate I'm going to need a '100 films' category, like the Stalker's...
Edit: Have just noticed that The Princess Bride is now #115 in IMDb's Top 250. I should note, for accuracy, that I'm not trying to watch the current Top 100, merely the one that I stole from the Stalker and posted here
