Great idea, I think I'm gonna go make one of these too.

ditto.
 
I thought (500) Days of Summer was okay. It got better when things got worse for Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character. When he is actually dating Summer it was kind of lame (I'm looking at you Ikea scene).

Glad you loved 500 :)

Made my own list in response to this one.  Seems like a good way to keep track of movies that I recently watched.

Are you taking requests?

@Soundtrack:  Hmm, I dunno! I have plenty of stuff in my Netflix queue that I need to work through. I'm aiming for a movie a day, but we'll see how long I can keep that up - it's not easy to catch a movie during the day with all the submission approvals and the like.

I liked Bad Lieutenant a lot more than you did, by the sounds of it. I suppose that's why we have a user review system in place.

@Shaunage:  I didn't hate it by any means, but it was built up quite a bit by friends and people I like online, so it was bound to be a bit disappointing. I guess in the end it didn't really wind up making me feel anything, which is still what I look for in a movie. Well-made and well-acted, though.

I created a similar list (well, I stole your idea) and it made me realise how little I actually get the opportunity to watch movies now. I am up to about 13 and that has been with a concerted effort to watch more films. I blame full time employment really, back at uni and school days I would power through films, now 2 and a bit hours is a serious chunk of time.

I didn't realize I stole your list idea! I guess great minds think alike. If I have one criticism about your list, it's that it's not ordered from most recent. I mean, MINE is. :P

@fuzzay:  It is ordered in that way; I've just gotten too lazy to add the dates.

Ooh - I've got two days to watch Tell No One for free on the LOVEFiLM website and this list has now convinced me to watch it tonight.

 I re-watched Leon the other night and can't say I agree with you, the performances were great all round. In my opinion it still outshines most films released since it's release in 93.
Also can't see how the age would effect the 'creepiness' of the film, it that is what you were suggesting?   

Not sure if the uncut version was ever released in the US, but if so is that the version you watched? If not then most of the scenes that Americans considered 'creepy' in the original screening were not included. A shame as I feel these scenes are necessary for further developing Leon and Mathilda as characters. Also several other scenes were cut as some portrayed Mathilda as being in-danger, these were not crucial to the story but great scenes nonetheless.
 
However I agree more with your opinion of Bad Lieutenant, it was indeed well acted (One of the Cage's better performances in recent years) but I came out of the cinema feeling empty, not what I would call memorable.

Good stuff keep it coming.

I'm going to steal your idea. Hope you don't mind.
