There are close to 500 films here, of which I've seen around 150. In the age of Netflix, et al, movies are easier to see than ever, but a lot of these films, for one reason or another, are hard to track down -- Los Angeles Plays Itself, for example, isn't even on DVD, due to endless film rights issues; you can only see it if you catch one of the director's public screenings or get it from some back alley file share situation. (Really good film, though.) So it's not just a list, it's a treasure hunt. A treasure hunt with subtitles and Thin Mints -- which is, if not the best kind, still an awfully good one.
So with no further ado:
