Films of 2012
So you may have seen my previous years posts (2010 and 2011) about how many films I watch a year. Nowadays I see those 365 Film challenges on Tumblr and want to do it but then again I don't think I'd be able to BUT I have slowly been watching more and more each year. Below the cut you'll find all the films I've watched in 2012 under the headings First Watch or Rewatch. Film titles bolded are ones which I saw in the cinema. If you want to see a pretty version of this with the movie posters and ratings go here.

I'm quite proud of this to be honest, although saying that I'm not sure what it says about me that I find the time to watch over 200 films. Saying that, I am a Film student who wants to work in the film industry so I'm sure it's a good thing.
