I'll be starting here and making my way through the years.<br /><br />I'm hoping to try my own similar endeavor (probably not till next year at this point as I've been talking about it since January and it hasn't happened yet). It will be similar to your and Allan's lists in that it will mix "favorite" and "bests" and will be ordered chronologically. It will be different in that the essays will be fewer and far between, as they will probably be pretty long-win...er, long. I love the fact that you guys keep the engine running at a steady speed but nonetheless, I'm gonna give the long-form idea a shot - it will also give me the opportunity to focus on one movie for an extended period, something I rarely do with a fast-paced viewing schedule, listen to the commentary, research the film history in local libraries, watch the special features, re-watch the movie a few times. Should be enjoyable.<br /><br />Anyway, believe it or not, I just not come here to pimp my own hypothetical future projects, so moving on...<br /><br />The kinds of exercises are a whole lot of fun, for those reading and those writing. Looking forward to yours. (By the way, obviously my eye has caught some of the films in your lineup on the sidebar there, but I'm trying to keep some surprises in store. I see already that there are a number I haven't seen. I already have a Wonders queue; perhaps I should construct a Goodfellas queue as well - though I'll have to axe another themed queue to make room...)
