Author Comments: 

(R) = repeat viewing
x - watched multiple times in a short time period T = seen on the big screen
OAR = Pan & Scan (my library is unfortunately fond of fullscreen DVDs)
ETV = edited for TV
w/commentary = watched with commentary (obviously)
+commentary = watched the film alone and again with the commentary, back to back

This list includes movies (theatrical, made-for-video or made-for-TV) and recorded stage productions - basically anything feature-length that tells a story in dramatic terms. Miniseries and everything else not fitting this description go in the TV on DVD Viewing Log.

My Rating System:
***** - Loved it. Worthy of multiple viewings. Might just find its way into my DVD collection one day.
**** - Liked it. Entertaining and enjoyable. I wouldn't mind seeing it again. Recommended.
*** - It was OK. Watchable but not particularly noteworthy. I don't regret watching it, but I won't race to see it again either.
** - Did not like it. Boring, disappointing, or just not my cup of tea.
* - Hated it. Only managed to finish out of sheer willpower. Tedious and/or pathetic, a waste of time.
DNF - Did Not Finish.

Cloned From: 

Even though I'd probably never take the time to do it myself I really appreciate the time and effort you put into the aesthetics of lists like this.

Thanks. I don't watch as many movies as I used to, so making it pretty is the least I could do. ;)
