Author Comments: 

2011 Goals

- Continue watching titles on the IMDB Top 250 as it stood at the end of 2010 (progress is slow)

- Continue watching the wide variety of Academy Award winners of many categories (progress is consistent)

2010 Successes

Watched more than one film a day (on average) through the year -- Success on this goal before the end of November. I won't aim at this again. Final total is 435.

Wisdom

There is more to life than films.

Bolded entries I saw in a theater.
