Well, I had to sacrifice a little to see that many movies. Some of them were free (or I saw them through Netflix), but I just cut back on other things, like going out to eat, etc.

Capote

Capote
The Constant Gardener
Proof
The Aristocrats
Saraband
Junebug

***List is subject to change, as I still have not seen every movie released this year***

While I'm not planning on seeing EVERY movie released this year , there are still a lot more that I'd like to view before I publish my final "Top 10" list.

Well, I can top that (3 films) I have seen two, My House In Umbria and Crash. I have no desire to see most of the over hyped crap that is released every other week.
