Film resolutions for next year? More foreign films and silent films. Also I want to try to see more films while they'll still in theaters, both big budget and independent.

And with that, I bid adieu to 2012. Here's hoping for a good roster of films in the coming year.

    1. You're using my list as a reference point? I'm flattered.

  2. That's a full year. If you're looking for silent films, here are some recommendations:

    Intolerance
    Metropolis
    Lucky Star
    7th Heaven
    Diary of a Lost Girl
    The Docks of New York


    Also, for a modern silent film:
    Dracula: Pages from a Virgin's Diary is a great film that looks like a lost silent picture.

  3. There are so many great movies on your list! I've only been keeping track of my monthly viewings since June 2012, but this year I should be able to account for every film I see.

    1. These are just new-to-me titles. I don't really keep track of re-watches. (Though I did see Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy an additional two times last year.)

    1. It pretty much was a movie a day deal. (I only took some days off if I wasn't up for writing a review.)
