30 Movies in 30 Days

In a blitz to buffer my moving image knowledge base, I plan to watch thirty movies over thirty days beginning Monday, December 28th (with a few days off while I'm out of town).
This is the schedule of screenings and friends in NYC are welcome to join me.
I'll probably write periodically here on this blog about the experience.
