I figured that you likely would have seen a bunch of Donner films at one point or another, but I'm surprised you've only seen two of Bay's, because you've got a lot of obscure/medicore directors on there.
I'm in the minority with those, but I've never been able to force myself to so much as tolerate them. I actually got a pile of hate mail of my Pan's Labyrinth review!
I don't quite despise The Boondock Saints, though the next time someone tells me how awesome it is I might change my mind.
I admire your regimen. Mine, for a critic, is pathetic in comparison. The closest I can claim is that I've seen the first five seasons of 24 in marathon day long viewing sesssions!
I wish I the theaters around here would get stuff like that, because then I'd have to watch the whole thing instead of being tempted to pause it and get loaded instead. I think I stopped when the main character was having a flashback to when he watched someone chop up a chicken and never bothered to keep watching.
I still have a bunch to see, but I'm not as impressed with 2007 as I was with 2006. I haven't seen any films yet that I'd say are worthy of 5 stars (via the rating system I use), although I missed Into the Wild and haven't seen No Country For Old Men, so perhaps I'm too hasty to pass judgement.
I've been reading Blood Meridian on and off for a year now. It's not exactly a swift read, and those chapter rundowns make it easy to forget it for a while and then pick it back up.
The fact that I'm now noticing that you don't have a John Ford section suggests that I check your list out a lot.

Two directors I noticed absent: Richard Donner and Michael Bay.

I'm glad to see you like 3:10 to Yuma, because I look at my Muriel's list and feel like I must be the only person who gave a damn.
You need to catch up, homie. I'm at 68!
Oh. My. Gawd. You ain't seen Zulu! That movie rocks. I thought you'd seen everything good!

Wow, you are so close to beating this one. I'm actually making an effort to, although at my pace I probably won't succeed until well into next year.

I watched about a half hour of Cache before giving up. It was like sitting through Algebra II B.

Flight of the Conchords and South Park are great stuff. I'll confess, though, that I haven't cared much for the last few Sarah Silverman Programs.
Fuck Donnie Darko, that movie blows. I still haven't seen Cube!
