For the first time ever:
A list of all movies I've seen this year!
Well not all; I didn't list rewatches, and I have a sneaking suspicion I must have forgotten a handful of movies, but still! Yaaay many movies!
I've done a clumsy attempt at categorizing them via things like my favourite directors/actors/genres/other weird little categories that presented themselves when I was looking over the list (like Dracula movies. No, not merely vampires. Dracula.)
The general rule is that although a movie might fit in several categories, unless it's checks both "favourite director" and "favourite actor" it'll only be in the first category it fits in.
