The difficult letter is done...

The Quiet American

Hey, I just realised. I haven't had to "cheat" yet. Using L for Run Lola Run is the closest to an inventive alphabet and I could always change it to the German title if I wanted to be picky.  :dance:

Dragonfire

Well I guess I sort of cheated by using Inception for P, but that's ok...I would have reviewed here here regardless of if I was attempting this alphabet marathon or not.

I had I reserved for the the moment I started the marathon :laugh:

Dragonfire

I should have done that..but I was already wanting to watch Independence Day, so I used that instead.  And then remembered that Inception was coming out.   :laugh:

Critter

I've added Inception to my alphabet marathon list even though I haven't reviewed it yet.

I've cheated moderately a few times, but now that I'm close to the finish I'm in full-on cheat mode and just try to fit the movies I've watched into a slot that's still empty. And even that will get difficult with the remaining letters after this batch (# B Q V X).
