Movie a Day for a Year

It is finished. In the past 365 days, I watched 365 new movies.  Along the way, I knocked out AFI's Top 100, IMDB's Top 250, and almost knocked out Roger Ebert's list of Great Movies. I'll admit, it wasn't as romantic as it seems. You have a stressful day at work, the kiddos get to bed late and you still have to watch a 3 hour Fellini film. I think I'm going to take a month long movie-free sabbatical. 

However, I saw a lot of great films that I probably wouldn't have gotten around to watching until years from now. Some of my favorites of the year in no particular order were: 

Fanny and Alexander, Paris, Texas, George Washington, End of Watch, Millennium Actress, La Ceremonie, An Autumn Afternoon, Revolutionary Road, The Three Colors Trilogy, The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser, The Collector, Trouble in Paradise, Smiles of a Summer Night, Stroszek, White Heat, Nowhere in Africa, Samurai Rebellion, Undefeated, Red Beard, Safety Not Guaranteed, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Bernie, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Django Unchained, Les Miserables, Floating Weeds, In a Lonely Place, Crimes and Misdemeanors, The Red Shoes, Black Narcissus, Shotgun Stories, Elevator to the Gallows, Looper, Stalker, Killer of Sheep, Cache, Match Point, My Dinner with Andre, A Separation, The Thin Man, El Norte, The Passion of Joan of Arc,  Ali: Fear Eats the Soul, The Hobbit, The Earrings of Madame de..., Fitzcarraldo, Porco Rosso, Tokyo Story, Late Spring, Au Revoir Les Enfants, Top Hat and Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring, and Chop Shop.
