the year of kurosawa, or, my 2010 in movies.

Here they are, all 200 movies I watched this year.

Here’s the key, in case anyone cares. I promise it’s not as complicated as it looks.
(#) Movies I watched in the theater.
[#] Movies I’d never seen before.
E# – Movies Emily watched with me
B# – Movies Brian watched with me.
Movies I watched more than once this year.
Favorites (These underlined films cannot be movies I saw this year for the first time, or movies I have only seen once, they have to be movies that have been able to stand up viewing after viewing, and still keep me coming back for more.)
*Best movies I’d never seen before. (It doesn’t matter when these movies came out, I saw them for the first time this year, and they were awesome.)

One Response to “ the year of kurosawa, or, my 2010 in movies. ”

  1. YAY! I got one more movie than last year. I think you should start a list/category called “movies Emily started but fell asleep”. I bet that list would be more than 90!
    I think it was a good movie watching year, hopefully 2011 will be even better.

Thoughts?
