In 2009, I kept a running list of all the books I read, an experiment which amused and intrigued me so much that I wanted to devise a new version for 2010. And so, I decided to keep a list of all the movies, old and new, in cinemas and in living rooms, obscure and popular, around-the-world and across-the-street, I watched in 2010. And here is the list. I noted the non-English movies with the language. I noted six movies with 🙂 to mean that I recommend them and would be happy to discuss them with anyone else who’s seen them. (Of course, I would discuss any of them if you like. As long as I can remember them.) I noted three with 🙁 to mean that I was disappointed with them, and just might have turned them off if I weren’t trying to build a list here. And so, in chronological order:
1. Inside Man
