Films Watched Since September 22nd, 2008
This is a list of films I’ve watched since October 28th, 2008. A “*” next to a movie indicates it was my favorite of the week. A “^” sign next to a film signifies that I liked it as well, but was forced to chose a favorite of the week.
(Note: I’ve added television seasons that I’ve deemed relevant [23rd of November 2008])
(Note: I realized some of the movies I’ve seen already, and may see multiple times since the start of this catalog. I’ve decided that those will not be repeated on the list or otherwise represented. However, films that I had seen before but have seen again since the start of the list will be added as if it were the first time seeing them. [16th of December 2008])
