Here's a list of all movies I've seen in the
last few years. .
Here's a selected list of films I've seen - first the directors and some
stars I've seen the most of, then
the directors I've seen practically
every movie of, then
a listing of foreign films by country and some
English-language directors.
A "*" stands for more than one viewing of a movie
(not necessarily a recommendation!), and
"**" stands for extreme multiplicities (at least 4 viewings). By categories:
Hong Kong , Japan ,
France , Italy , English language
directors , and some other nationalities .
Here's a list of movies I'm still missing
from the IMDB Top 250 of all time
poll.
