I can only count each Dekalog episode as a standalone film, so Red is still my favorite, Dekalog 1, 6 and Camera Buff are close though.

I can check my copies but camera buff is an extra on one of the discs, right?

However, before they do they are going to upgrade 10 more of their in print dvd releases to bluray, and they want everyone to send their 10 votes in for which releases they'd want upgraded.

Which 10 would you choose?

Fiend without a Face
Equinox(with BOTH cuts, none of this Carnival of Souls kind of crap)
Le Samourai
Thief of Bagdad
Great Expectations (yes I know there is a bluray release of it, but not from Criterion)
The Furies
All 4 titles from the Monsters and Madmen set

I don't see Blow-Up or Being There :-(

I'd love an upgrade of Summertime. It's just that there are more than 10 films ahead of it for me.

Yeah, don't think they have March titles up yet. I do see the Feb. ones though.

The PQ in the Japanese release is a solid upgrade if you are interested in importing it:

See above. The iOS app didn't even show the 20% today only banner when I started. Dammit, Target, get your IT and software devs working harder!

Do any of you keep a cumulative list of everything you've seen in your life?

I've always wanted to but I always end up getting discouraged.

The closest thing I have is that I rated just about every movie and TV show I can remember seeing on NetFlix. I am currently at 3,532 and there are still many other movies I have seen that NetFlix doesn't have in their database.

When I had a blog back in the day, I'd chronicle my movies, and rate them, etc..I watched 309 movies that year I think. It was fun, but I defintely couldn't do that nowadays lol

I've always attempted to keep an Excel spreadsheet of sorts, but I've stopped and restarted numerous times throughout the years.

The big problem is that I can remember seeing certain movies. I just can't remember much about the movies, which often yields doubt in me about whether or not I actually saw them to begin with.

Never tried. There are way too many. I probably couldn't even remember them all, especially going back to watching monster movies on TV back in the 60s.

Well, here's my top ten, listed by spine number with Summertime coincidently right on top.

022 Summertime
055 The Unbearable Lightness of Being
103 The Lady Eve
114 My Man Godfrey
224 Pickup on South Street
320 Young Mr. Lincoln
383 Brute Force
410 Under the Volcano
435 The Furies
470 Wise Blood

I'm going to track this list and see how many of my wishes come true in 2017

(Just kidding, but the actual number is probably pretty close to the above total.)

I use letterboxd for everything I watch now, and I tried to go back for a large chunk of my viewing history. Whenever I located a film that I know I've seen that isn't on there is make sure to add it.

I actually watch the movie and then add it to my collection here. That's how I keep track.

I note that I have seen a movie here on this site. I've only been doing that, though, for things I watched since joining here. I think it will only show unique titles and the database is missing a few.. I suppose that I missed noting a few as well. But in 3 years, I've seen around 330 ish based on what's recorded here. That's a couple a week, on average.

Just don't have the time to watch as much as I'd like.

I have one here:
http://thefilmviews.weebly.com/film-index.html

But this doesn't include anything I've seen since September. But I have those written down elsewhere, I just haven't spent the hour or so it'll take me to put it on the list.
