I found the following article. Number fun for the movie fan.

"You're Going to Love Those Movie Numbers
November 9, 2007
A 9-minute parody of the "top 100" list, popularized for movies by the American Film Institute, stars a wide range of well-known movie characters counting down, clip by clip, from 100 to 1.

Featured on YouTube, the video collage is called "100 Movies, 100 Quotes, 100 Numbers." The man behind the assemblage is Alonzo Mosley, 34, a librarian in Jacksonville, Fla.

"The whole process took about two months," Mosley wrote. He knew, off the top of his head, movie sources for about a third of the numbers. The rest, he said, he found through "relentless Googling and IMDb-ing." The toughest ten numbers to find were 33, 36, 52, 53, 54, 66, 78, 89, 91, 92.

Part of the fun for viewers is trying to identify the movie (and stars) that go with each fleeting glimpse of numerate Hollywood — and coming up with alternative choices for particular numbers.

Mosley concludes the video with the on-screen statement: "My sincere thanks to every person who's ever been involved with making movies . . . especially the studios. Please don't sue me."

See the video, laugh out loud, and count!
