I can't do it...

I've tried...

I just can't get through Rocky. I'm going to have to put this with Bored of the things!

#250 Young Frankenstein.

Enjoyable, but not as good as I was expecting from Mel Brooks. Very funny in places, but quite average and just plodded along in others.
Though if that is a benchmark and things will only get better from here then I won't be upset, however I don't think that'll be the case.

Weird. I find Rocky to be absolutely unputdownable, I'm actually staggered that it bored someone.

I felt the same way, watched it the other night. It's highlight was Gene Hackman but as a film overall it pales in comparison to Blazing Saddles.

I was gonna watch that on DVD tonight, at least I'll avoid the adverts

It's a magnifficent movie.

Does it count if you have already seen the films or do you have to start afresh and watch them all again?

It depends, some people like me are trying to do them all, but others are only doing those they haven't seen.

Watched Rashomon the other day, a little disappointing and was expecting more seeing as it's seen as the inspiration for films such as The Usual Suspects.

What a great Idea, been running out of films to order on lovefilm. So I think I'm going to join you guys. It won't take me 365 days though. Work shifts and some days I can easily watch 4 films

..

How are people keeping track of what they have watched? is there an easy website that you can do this on? or just an excel file?

IMDB seems to be the favoutrite, but I can email you a spreadsheet if the link has gone from the OP.
