2nd spot reserved.

I will use our now standard rating system along with the following Legend.

Never Seen the movie
Never watched the DVD
Seen/watched this before
Watching now

Title	Date	Score
1: Terms of Endearment	May 4
2: X-Men	May 4
3: The good german
4: The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit
5: The Postman
6: Man of La Mancha
7: Master and Commander
8: The Mothman prophecies

I'll see if I manage to watch 10 movies in a month, if so I'll just add to the list as I go.

Edit: I have removed "The Apartment" and "Gentleman's Agreement" from my list because I just remembered I have watched them recently.

I've just about given up on actually watching my movies. Seems no matter what I don't do it. 

I'll add my spot here though and join in once again. These marathons are a really good way to get you to watch something, even if it's only a few movies a month.

Okay, I will try and participate. Nothing I haven't already watched though, since I'm not a compulsive buyer. I probably will never understand those whose unwatched pile is bigger than my entire collection.
