Author Comments: 

Since I'm usually selective about the movies I watch and haven't been watching them avidly for the past decade or so, you won't necessarily see a lot of films here that you might expect to see. I will, though, try to concentrate on films that have many admirers or figure in the work of otherwise admirable filmmakers.

I hope (?) to add more to this list as I have more time to do so.
