We back! Going to do this years marathon with my girlfriend, so she is making some selections as well. The rules have expanded a bit and I love the additions so as usual, looking forward to another marathon! There are a couple rewatches where I try to keep everything new to me, but the gf hasn't watched certain things and I think these may be more palatable.
See each movies notes for criteria and where I plan to watch the film.
