In joining Ryan and James, I’ve decided to clear up some missing films as apart of my New Year’s Resolutions. A lot of my list are understood to be capital-c Classics, but a few have been sitting near the top of my Netflix queue for too long without earning my full attention. So once a month, I will write a blog post about these films – adding a little more work to my filmic syllabus, but hopefully getting me back into the swing of blogging again.
NIL BY MOUTH
GRAND ILLUSION
BANDE A PART
MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO
GOODFELLAS
UMBERTO D.
BORDER RADIO
TRAINSPOTTING
I AM CUBA
HALLOWEEN
PRIMER
THE 400 BLOWS

Hooray!
I’m looking forward to seeing how people take to this little goal as a lot of people have expressed interest in the last three or four weeks – here’s hoping we can all have some fun and soak up some good cinema in 2012…
I’m looking forward to it. It should be fun! Plus, there’s a large enough group to help each other stay on top of things.
Exciting! I did something similar in 2011 and it was pretty satisfying. I haven’t seen several of these either so I look forward to reading your thoughts!
Hopefully I still remember how to blog. I’m feeling rusty.
Nifty list! I’ve seen about half your choices and love them all. Been meaning to watch Nil By Mouth and Primer myself.
Nil By Mouth has been on my to-watch list for far too long.
I have seen 8 of these films (Goodfellas, I Am Cuba, My Neighbor Totoro, Trainspotting, Bande A Part, Halloween, The 400 Blows, and Primer). The epic tracking shot alone in I Am Cuba is reason enough to see the film. You are in for some real treats this year.
