As in previous years, I've kept track of the movies I've watched. This year I screened 121 movies, indulging in a lot of Hitchcock, Ford, Cronenberg, Anderson and Carpenter. I've now seen all of Wes Anderson's movies, about 60 percent of Hitchcock's, all of Carpenter's but The Fog, and most of Cronenberg's. I knocked 23 Best Picture nominees off the list.
