So last year I joined Twitter and desperately struggled to figure out a good use for it. Assuming most people following my account might come from the Film Junk podcast, I thought it might be an idea platform to keep track of what films I’ve been watching and what ratings I give them. My first post was March 9th, 2009 with David Cronenberg’s The Brood (3.5/4) and since then I’ve managed to check out a good number of great films over the last year. (Jacques Tati’s Play Time and Wim Wender’s Paris, Texas are definitely two stand outs on this list.) Many of these are first time viewings, but a there are also a lot of movies I just felt the urge to revisit. So what do you think? Any favourites? Have a look for yourself after the jump!
