A Resolution Met (kind of)

At the end of last semester, I set myself a goal of watching at least fifty movies this summer. I failed to keep a list of any kind during the summer, and just tried to piece one together tonight from my and my dad's Netflix histories, saved movie tickets and memory. It looks like I've met my goal, and, if I count movies I've seen before, far exceeded it. Below the jump is the list I've compiled so far, in alphabetical order. I'll add films as I remember them. Italics denote movies I'd previously seen before May 19, 2009.
