07/01 Road To Perdition (Sam Mendes, 2002) 5
10/01 Requiem For A Dream (Darren Aronofsky, 2000) 2 *

Good to see a high score for Road To Perdition!

It's been years since I saw Requiem for a Dream, but I think I liked it more than you. The best thing about it though is the music. The soundtracks is fantastic, but I'll always love it for the track Lux Aeterna, reworked and then used in The Two Towers trailer.

24 films for January, not bad but behind the last two years.

59

Most seen in January since 2005!

Other things got in the way this month, 26 films seen. First watch highlights being Apocalypto and Bad Day at Black Rock.

Silver wrote:

15/03 The Maltese Falcon (John Huston, 1941) 3

I'd rate it 3 as well, but it always, always seems to get top marks. Film noir in general isn't a favourite of mine, and this is as noirish as they come.

Consistent this year, 25 films for March, nothing special in the 'first views' so highlights of the month go to what I'm labelling the 00s Boston Trilogy, Mystic River, The Departed and Gone Baby, Gone.

35 films for me in April, with the top spot being taken by The Two Towers. I've only seen 5 films this year I'd rate 5/5. I need to see better films

Another 25 in April, 100 up for the year

23 films for May, feel like i'm going through a bit of a film slump at the moment, lacking inspiration/motivation. Need a theme or director or something to get excited about. Preferring tv at the moment.

Expect a very low total for June with the combined forces of World Cup and Wimbledon.

Any genre or anyone in particular you can think of?

Don't you watch Big Brother as well? Combine that with the sports and you'll have no time for anything

Don't know really, there's been a lack of stuff on TV recently to tape, which is my main source of first views, and I often stare at my ton of DVDs and think "nope, don't fancy any o f them today"

And I haven't watched Big Brother for a few years now, so don't have to worry about that!

Are you quite choosy with what you watch or are you like me and will watch anything and everything? The freeview channels have some good ones, and BBC2 and C4 often squirrel away decent, older films in the dead of night.

Quite choosy I guess, I'd need to have an actor/director I like or a story that sounds good. I don't think I'd watch a film I knew nothing about just because it's a 'film' as it were. I don't have the same desire as you to see every film ever made!

June is under way with the stunning Badlands

The presence of Bartlet helps I guess?

It's a great film. Malick's a fantastic director.


EDIT: Just been looking through next week's Radio Times. Not a great deal of films on that take my fancy (Much as I do want to watch everything, I still have to pick and choose!) I think I found 5 new films and 2 or 3 rewatches.

I always look forward to the new TV guide on a Tuesday to see what films there are to look forward to!

There was a time when Tuesday was my favourite day of the week for that reason. Always good fun to spend 20 minutes looking through the schedules!

Only 24 for me this month. Not bad, as I started off slowly and have been hooked on BB this past fortnight!

Just 11 for June. Worst month for a long long time.

It's all that football!!!

Slight imrovement in July, 18 films and past 150 for the year.

33 for me in August. Not bad, considering Big Brother had me hooked for a lot of that time!
