There are 50 movies I've seen for the first time this past year (April 2007-April 2008) thanks to Netflix. I also rented a few TV shows (mainly The Wire, which was the reason I started subscribing to Netflix in the first place--it was expensive to rent all the DVDs from Blockbuster one at a time), and a few movies I'd seen before. I put a star (*) next to those that I rated five stars. Some movies would doubtlessly get bumped up to five stars, or bumped down from five if I were to rewatch them.

Nice list. Were they all "good" films?
