The Visitor
Rachel Getting Married
Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Happy-Go-Lucky
Australia
Wanted
Hellboy II
Bolt
Also, I haven't seen any Shorts or Foreign Language Films, and the only Documentary I have seen is Man on Wire

Damien you really have a huge number of films left unseen. I would have imagined you would sit through the nominated films if only to get first hand knowledge for the third part of your great book?Damien wrote:Australia
Bolt
Defiance
Doubt
The Duchess
Frost/Nixon
Frozen River
Happy-Go-Lucky {and I will never see another Mike Leigh movie as long as I live}
Hellboy II: The Golden Army
In Bruges {no thanks -- the trailer was torture enough}
Iron Man
Revolutionary Road
Vicky Cristina Barcelona
The Visitor
Wall-E
Wanted
The Wrestler
Is there one in the pipeline?

Wow, Tee, you and I are completely at the same point (as long as I see The Reader next Friday as planned) except I won't have caught Revolutionary Road. And I have seen the shorts.Mister Tee wrote:I was so far behind I was too embarrassed to even post before now. The situation as of today:
Changeling tops my Netflix queue, so I hope to fit it in before week's end. That will give me 100% in films/actors/directors. Happy Go Lucky will be my only missing screenplay. (Had Hawkins been nominated, I'd have tried harder to get to it)
Below the line, I'm short Australia, Defiance, and Bolt -- all of which can wait for DVD.
I've seen only two docs -- Man on Wire and Encounters at the End of the World -- and no foreigns or shorts. May duck into The Class or Bashir Friday if I'm far enough along in my Oscar party prep.
