Starting a movie list for 2009. I don't have a goal in mind, since I don't know where this semester will take me work/time-wise, but I think 100 or 150 is a pretty solid place to start. I don't have the dates for some of these since I watched them before I started the list, but deal.

This will hopefully be updated often.
