I got Berlin Alexanderplatz through Netflix. It is still available that way. One review I read strongly suggested that, if one were not well acquainted with the film and the history of the work, they watch the last disc first because it contains some important explanatory material about it. I did that and it did help me with the work.
Also, if you have access to a library that will do Interlibrary Loan for films (mine does), consider that method. Its cheaper than Netflix unless you are already a Netflix subscriber. Not available through Netflix Instant Play, though.
I was having problems with one of my lists saving. But only one of them. No matter what I did, the Captcha would not work. But other lists were saving without problems, even if I was prompted for a Captcha. Ultimately, it turned out that removing all hyphens in the list and author comment areas allowed me to save my list. So if someone else, or if this list, has that problem, here is a potential solution. Remove ALL hyphens (minus sign). No other symbol which is also a mathematical symbol seems to have a problem ... at this point. This FYI.
Fellow Scoreboard member here. Curious, what are the slashes around the names of some movies? I was thinking "seen in a theater", but Rear Window? So I'm asking.
The trick to getting that high is to push films as much as you can early in the year. That way, when life gets too real, you are already ahead of the game. In 2010 I not only met, but significantly passed my goal of 365 films. This was how I did it.
As your #20 book you have The Second Sex. Two titles below that is a title "The Medium is the Massage". The actual title of this book is "The Medium is the Message". Its an interesting book, but has some invalid assumptions in it. McLuhan starts discussing the revolution in music generated by the Beatles as though what they did was fully unique. He was unaware of the influence on their music that came from the US R&B music.
Do feel free, misscurly! I wondered if anyone had actually read them. I'm pleased to know someone took the time to read my musings. And not only enjoyed them, but found the idea useful, too.
cmonster, I would be willing to help, but not until mid-June. I'm on Listology almost every day, sometimes multiple times a day. So if you still need help mid-June, count me in.
If its getting really bad, it might be a good idea to have several of us doing it.
BTW, My comments seem to always trigger a CAPTCHA.
Surely the honor must go to the inimitable Leo G. Carroll who had honorific titles in all 6 Hitch films in which he appeared, with only one duplication. Here is the list:
Rebecca - Dr. Baker
Suspicion - Captain Melbeck
Spellbound - Dr. Murchison
The Paradine Case - Sir Joseph
Strangers on a Train - Sen. Morton
North by Northwest - The Professor
Some may argue that The Professor does not count. I claim it does since, if the character had a full name, it would have been Prof. whatever. Simply because there is no surname, it does not follow that Professor is not an honorific.
You have listed The Bank (1940) (just above your current #36). The title actually is: The Bank Dick (1940; Edward F. Cline)
Also, there are the following errors:
Storszek (1977) should be Stroszek (1977)
The Battle of Narayama (1983) should be The Ballad of Narayama (1983)
The Phoenix City Story (1955) should be The Phenix City Story (1955) (Its not the same city as the one in Arizona)
The Will be Blood (2007) should be There Will be Blood (2007)
Also, I'm wondering if you have access to all editions of this. I show some titles in my list that are not in yours, but may be things that well-wishing folks or self-styled experts added to the list. My only source for the lists are those here on listology.
The ones I have that are not in your list at all are:
Vampyr (1932)
The Unvanquished [Aparajito] (1957)
Drowning by Numbers (1988)
Story of Women [Une affaire de femmes] (1988)
The Pillow Book (1996)
On my list from 5 editions (though I don't know which 5), I'm missing these from your current list here (for the benefit of others):
Top Hat (1935)
Midnight Song (1937)
Open City (1945)
The Stranger (1946)
Ashes and Diamonds (1958)
Black Orpheus (1959)
The 400 Blows (1959)
La Joven (1960)
Keeper of Promises (1962)
An Autumn Afternoon (1962)
Before the Revolution (1964)
The Gospel According to St. Matthew (1964)
The Bird with The Crystal Plumage (1970)
The Mirror (1974)
Five Deadly Venoms (1978)
Tootsie (1982)
Top Gun (1986)
No Fear, No Die (1990)
Once Upon a Time in China (1991)
Tongues Untied (1991)
All About My Mother (1999)
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000)
Kandahar (2001)
Paranormal Activity (2007)
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)
Let the Right One In (2008)
Anvil! The Story of Anvil (2008)
Avatar (2009)
An Education (2009)
Fish Tank (2009)
Inglorious Basterds (2009)
Precious (2009)
The Hangover (2009)
The Hurt Locker (2009)
The White Ribbon (2009)
My kind of guy. And the kind I'll be this year. Just happy to be a part of this. Even if I'm not near the top, its fun seeing who is around me and how the others move in the list.

There's the spirit!

I'd also like to play again. http://www.listology.com/dashforcover/list/2012-movie-log
Thanks for cloning this. I accidentally screwed up my copy of it. And yours is perfect to re-create it! I'm doing the new one as I write.

Its an interesting book, but has some invalid assumptions in it. McLuhan starts discussing the revolution in music generated by the Beatles as though what they did was fully unique.

I changed the order to be alphabetical by title.
