Oscar Overdose
When the Oscar meme started floating around last year I thought it would be a good idea to use it as a blueprint to catch all the films on the list - both as a fan of movies and as a total OCD freakazoid. So between Oscar ceremonies, I hit 18 of the movies on the list. Since the last Oscar ceremony, full-on neurosis set in, and I've caught 26 more movies (see below). Last night I wound up deleting 30 more flicks from my DVR in an effort to stop the insanity. What is it about a list that creates a compulsion in some people? At any rate, I'm still on my quest to catch all the nominated movies (I've expanded the original meme to include every Oscar ceremony dating back to 1928.), but I'm going to take slower, less OCD pace in the process. :P
At any rate, here's the newest batch crossed off the list...
