Yep i definitely gotta agree that this year has been major for Hollywood.

I wasn't too keen on superbad or sweeny Todd (partly because i hate musicals ... so unrealistic to me how they all just burst into song

)

i think on my list, i'd have Atonement up there for sure along with your choices.

Will your system be alright, when you dream of home tonight?

I know Yoda's been busy lately, but I believe he's going to be doing one of these type threads pretty soon, so most likely this thread will get folded into that one. If he didn't pm you about your picks you may have just joined a little while ago and came in after the gun. Anywho, I've still got mine saved so if he doesn't get it up after awhile I'll put mine here. Nice work btw Gibson!

I still have a handful I want to see in the next few weeks, especially Honeydripper, Persepolis, Starting Out in the Evening, Grace is Gone and 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days. So until then, no list from me. It'll probably be the first week of February or so.

No, no: no tears, please.

The second one, it was like we was both back in older times and I was on horseback goin' through the mountains of a night. Goin' through this pass in the mountains. It was cold and there was snow on the ground and he rode past me and kept on goin'. Never said nothin' goin' by. He just rode on past... and he had his blanket wrapped around him and his head down and when he rode past I seen he was carryin' fire in a horn the way people used to do and I could see the horn from the light inside of it. 'Bout the color of the moon. And in the dream I knew that he was goin' on ahead and he was fixin' to make a fire somewhere out there in all that dark and all that cold, and I knew that whenever I got there he would be there. And then I woke up.

There you go.

Nice to meat you.
