My Yearly Movie List - 92 and Counting

A few years back, I began to make a list of movies that I hadn't seen.  The list started as a list of current or somewhat current movies going back 4 or 5 years.  Then the list grew to movies I missed in the 1990s then 1980s then classics from earlier than that.  Needless to say, the list grew to more than 300 movies which I have made a point to watch.  Its my cultural duty, right?  (I'm promoting the art of film making. At least that's what I tell my wife)

Even if I average 100 movies a year (which I reached last year), we are still talking more than 3 years to finish the list.   This also doesn't count adding new movies to the list which I do invariably each each year. 

Here is the list so far in no particular order:  The movies in BOLDFACE are recommended flicks
