One Year, 500 Movies

Over the past year, I gave myself a challenge... to watch 500 movies that I had never seen before (ones that I hadn't seen for quite some time counted as well). I started this challenge on November 1st, 2010, and finished with less than ten minutes until midnight on October 31st, 2011.

The 500 movies range from the absolutely fantastic to the abysmal, covering films of every genre (and probably most sub-genres). Some of these movies I love, and some I hate. I'll be ranking my favorites in the second post.
