Since, when shopping and surfing, I was finding it impossible to keep track of the names of all the films I needed to see, I eventually decided to commit the list to paper (well, notepad.exe) and update it regularly removing the names of those I had watched and adding new films as I heard about them. The result is probably one of the most comprehensive “to watch” lists around, featuring both mainstream fare along with foreign and arthouse obscurities. And here it is in all its questionable glory:
