Hiya folks. It's a new year, and there are another few hundred movies I'd like to cross off my (ever-growing, ever-changing) watchlist. Here's a new thread to track all the non-recent movies I watch in 2022, along with my ratings for each. I will also post thoughts about certain films as the muse strikes.
For the moment, I'm not watching these films in any set order or with any particular theme; just checking out what's available crossed with what I'm in the mood for at a given moment. I'm aiming to make it through 200-250 movies by year-end. (Trying to keep the goal semi-realistic.)
