A Voyage in a Film Time Machine

Although I have seen more films than any person ought to see, my lack of film culture is lacking. I have to be honest with myself that while I have viewed films, I have not given them enough respect by actively watching them. This is therefore why I have decided to trek into those very films that everyone talks about, but that I take for granted. My new mission is to go back and watch influential films critically. This means that I will not simply look at the screen passively with some drool dripping from my chin, but instead to look at the film in historical context, its relation to films by the same director, and all of the visual grammar. I have so far been too foolish; therefore, even though I must drop the front of some cultured erudite, I dedicate my first foot to the first step.

I'll keep a minimal log of the films here and use the information for something larger later. I hope to reach the point of working within themes.
