Since 1999, I have written about every single film that I'd seen in the theaters that year and posted a list in early January. This year, I have relaxed my rules as a result of seeing many fewer films in the theaters.
This year, I have allowed DVD viewings to count on my list. And I also am following Balgavy's old rule of posting lists on his website as long as he received them by the Oscars. As I finish up this post, I've got to dash out to Sir Balgavy's for this year's Oscar Party. I'm getting this in just under my self - imposed deadline. Because as Mooney told me this afternoon, I'm allowed to make up my own rules, damnit!
There are still many many films I want to see to add to this list. I'll update this post in a few months and then leave it be. I can't believe that even with all of the DVD's and giving myself two extra months, my total is a mere 51 movies. Pathetic by my usual standards.

I'd put Running with Scissors under stinkers, Inside Man under recommended with reservations, Jesus Camp under mediocre and Half Nelson under top notch.
Loved Running with Scissors with a white-hot passion. But that probably doesn't surprise you.
the book was great, the movie got a lobotomy and vasectomy.
When did Balgavy get knighted? That's awesome news!
