Re: The Official 2009 HTF DVD Challenge
This is gonna be my third year of having a projector (as well as my third year trying the challenge), so lets see if I can beat my pathetically low number from last year (86 out of hundreds). I only include movies I own in the challenge, rated out of four stars (I grew up with the 0-4 scale in the newspapers, I just can't adjust to five for whatever reason). However, just for my own amusement, I also have the list of theatrical screenings, rentals, TV on DVD, that sort of thing, at the bottom of the list.
Movies I've never seen before are in
