Every Single Film I Watched for the First Time in 2011

Listed below is every single film I watched for the first time in the long-gone year of 2011. It’s been a fun year of obsessive movie-watching; I viewed many flicks that were newly released and even more that were unseen classics/pieces of shit. So, take a look, or don’t if you're a douchebag (take a skim-read, at least!), and be amazed at my oh-so-amazing skill of sitting on my lazy arse and watching lots and lots of films. Note: rewatches are not included.

  1. Hell yes to Network and Oldboy for film of the month choices. Also, thank you for giving a shout out to The Assasination of Jesse James..., it is a tragically underrated movie.
