    After I saw your list last year, I tried to do this too. I made it to the summer. I think I shall give it another go… I like the addition of the differentiation between a movie that hasn't been seen. I was puting a mark to remind me which ones I saw in the theatre.

    PS Looking back to my incomplete list, it's funny to see when I watch most of the movies – either when I'm at my parents' or friend's house who have cable.

    Chels – I'm surprised at my militancy. I always make a note when I'm out and about "remember to write this down…"
