Thats for sure. The last several times I have bought newer movies, 90 percent of them were boring and forgettable. I read somewhere that 10 percent of all movies made were good and 5 percent were excellent and the rest were crap. I can believe it.

The trend is going that way, thanks to ppl like actress /producer Roma Downey ( touched by an Angel )....

She and her husband Mark Burnett produced " Son of God ", a box office success!...maybe LIBERAL Hollyweird will take a hint !, if they see financial gain they'll join the bandwagon...

BTW, Son of God was adapted from the BIBLE series on the History channel...

I do.

There is a really handy website letterboxd.com

Its really chill if you watch a lot, you can rate everything and make lists and stuff. Found it by accident one time and haven't looked back since. So handy!

I starting making a list of movies I have watched, in the same notebook where I keep up with the books I read. What a great idea this was! Thanks for planting the seed!

Yes. I own a movie reviews website so all the movies I see are reviewed.

No, I am not that organized. I tend to find myself asking my husband if we watched something or thinking I haven't seen it and starting it and realizing I have seen it. I guess I should start writing it down. I never really thought about it.

No, I usually don't keep up with the movies I see. Unfortunately, sometimes that means that I have forgotten that I have seen them!

Not in the sense that i jot down the titles of movies that I've watched, i guess i do keep track of them mentally, i mean somehow i do recognize if I've watched a particular movie or not.
