My 2010 Movie Watch-List

A few years back here I noted how I had always had trouble keeping track of the various films I would watch and see. Despite the fact that Moon in the Gutter is now over four years old, it just dawned on me a year or so ago that this was kind of an ideal place to to keep a movie watch list of sorts. Throughout 2010 over on the side-panel I have been keeping a list of pre-2010 films that I caught up with for the first time. Ironically, I probably watched less movies in 2010 than any year in recent memory due to several factors including work, planning my wedding and the fact that I caught up with a lot of television shows that had alluded me previously. Here's the list of films I did manage to catch up with though with my rather lame star ratings beside them. I'll be the first to admit that listing these is basically for my benefit, so I can keep track of them, but hopefully someone might get a couple of recommendations out of it.
