Nah I keep remembering ones all the time, but I don't actively try to think of all of them, only when I see them on IMDB. Also when you're as picky as me, most films aren't worth watching.
:edit: also that's 19 weeks of solid film watching there.

I'm going to have to go through your list and pick out all the ones I like the look of that I haven't yet seen. Damn you.

There's Breaking Bad in that list that you might wanna remove as it's not, y'know, a film. (8+) Mark

Be my guest, bear in mind, I rate "good" films as 6, average films as 5. A 6 rating means I enjoyed it, 7 it was really very good, 8 is starting to move me to tears with how great that film was, 9 gobsmacked, 10, flawless.
They are also rated in the context of their genre, so I think to myself "what was that film TRYING to do?" I'm not a literary/Eastern European art house snob.

Yeah, I just saw Game of Thrones as well. It's a shame you can't create seperate lists (maybe you can, I haven't tested this myself). Mark

With this in mind, it makes your score for Cloud Atlas even more impressive. I greatly enjoyed that too. Mark

Chris, I've been scanning through and only found one 1-star rating so far, have you seen any films so bad that they don't deserve any stars at all?

Funnily enough I've considered that, it would have to be in some way "not a film" maybe a blatant propaganda for racism film or something. I wouldn't probably bother rating it. To get one star a film has to keep you watching till the end, if a film was so bad that I stopped watching, I'd probably give it 2 stars because, 1 star I have to be angry that HANG ON I actually sat through ALL OF THAT [LIFTED]. Only one film has fitted that description perfectly and it is Steven Spielberg's A [LIFTED] I.

Best scene in any film: "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... *Vangelis*"
