Here's what I watched in January....
6 films I'd call "must sees"...
El Norte (1983), Harry and Tonto (1974), Conflict (1945), All Night Long (1962), Kiss Me Deadly (1956) (I rewatched this one) and The Yakuza Papers (1973) (again, rewatched)
6 Films I could easily recommend...
Onibi, The Fire Within (1997), Satantango (1994) (provided you didn't have anything else to do for 7 hours), The Rise and Fall of Legs Diamond (1960), Joy House (1964), Planet of the Apes (1968) (rewatched) and The Bourne Identity (2002) (rewatched)
A handful that were passable...
The Amazing Mr. Williams (1939), Max Payne (2008), Rocknrolla (2008), Cobra (1971), The Kremlin Letter (1970), Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008), Appaloosa (2008), Studio One (6 or 7 episodes) (1950/1951) and The Night Caller (1965).
2 I'd skip...
Ken Russell at the BBC “Elgar” and “The Debussy Film” (1962/1965) and Burn After Reading (2008)
...and 1 I'd avoid but that I watched to the end for some reason...
Eagle Eye (2008)
Not a bad month

Gilligan, The Professor, Ginger, Maryanne (Jules, Tom, Joe, Kadas. I forgot Tell No One - a solid "easy to recommend"
