The 500

So I've started a list of films that involve fifty (50) from each decade and one hundred (100) foreign films, these foreign films get their own category, they do not apply to the decade that they were filmed.

I would appreciate many suggestions for an decade other than the 2000s. Thank you!

It's not yet Day 1, but I feel behind.

Ladies and Gents, I had the greatest idea in the year of 2010. I will watch 500 films, (yes, 500) in the year 2011. I will need to watch about two (2) films a day and write review for each film. Then I got smart:

500 films would be the ultimate goal.

365 films would be my minimum.

I have to have at least one hundred (100) foreign films on the list, and at least fifty (50) from each decade.

Here's the catch: I cannot re-watch films. I must find new films.

And all of this starts on New Years Day. New Years Day, 2011.
