First Time Watch 2016
I've kept a film diary ever since I was 14 yrs old. So that's nearly 25 years I've been doing this. My ledgers are all hand written, color coordinated, alphabetized, etc. As a film historian I've done it practically my whole life. I've never had a place online to list or keep track so I thought I'd try this list just for fun. I'll update as I watch. Enjoy!!
