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.

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.
