This list is only for films that:
1) I had never seen before and
2) Were neither made for nor edited for television.
My personal rating is on a scale of 1 to 5 stars and only reflects my own enjoyment level, not the actual quality of the film. In other words, the film could be technically brilliant, earning the raves of critics far and wide, but if I was bored, I scored it low. Or, if the film admittedly sucked, but it entertained me anyway, I scored it higher.
