I'll see if I manage to watch 10 movies in a month, if so I'll just add to the list as I go.

Edit: I have removed "The Apartment" and "Gentleman's Agreement" from my list because I just remembered I have watched them recently.

I've just about given up on actually watching my movies. Seems no matter what I don't do it.  :bag:

I'll add my spot here though and join in once again. These marathons are a really good way to get you to watch something, even if it's only a few movies a month.   :thumbup:

I've been inspired by this "rule" to try again. My last marathon (Academy Awards in February) didn't go so well...

Okay, I will try and participate. Nothing I haven't already watched though, since I'm not a compulsive buyer. I probably will never understand those whose unwatched pile is bigger than my entire collection.
