Resolutions 2009

The last few years at the FilmWise Forums, we’ve had something called New Year’s Movie Resolution where we pick a number of movies that we should have seen ages ago but for some reason… well, haven’t. The movies have to be at least ten years old. I’ll keep my progress in here.

Also, if you want, you can check out previous lists: 2008, 2007, and 2006.

Note: This year, I was sort of late to the game. I’ve been doing my resolutions, but I’ve not been reviewing the films outside of FilmWise. You can go there and search for my reviews, if you’re so inclined.
