About my collections

* I have made (or am working on) the following lists: Films Seen in 2010, A Guide to British Film Noir, and the 30 Day Movie Meme (under construction).

* I love dark, gritty crime/gangster films, psychological thrillers, film noir/neo-noir, and black comedies. British films are my personal favorites!

* A lot of films on my "want to watch" list I've seen, but would like to rewatch (and thus, reevaluate) before rating and adding.

* I'm attempting to watch every single Peter Sellers-related film, documentary, and television program, as he is my inspiration! So far, so good.

* Until I think of something else to say, enjoy Laurel and Hardy's ~fabulous~ dancing.

Thanks for the vote and the comment. I really make them mainly to share on Facebook. There seems to be tons of 'Watched in...' lists but I'm surprised at how many really good films still don't seem to get listed very often. Ha, but I'm pretty lazy about watching 'the great films'. Ooo... and speaking of you put "The Conversation" in recently added. One of my all time favorites... changed the way I thought about sound in movies.

No problem. I understand a work in progress and just listing the films is nice besides some of my favorite noir films aren't considered noir because their are British.
