The Coelacanth Watched Some More Movies

As I did last year, in 2009 I kept my usual film diary.  No notes on the films or anything, simply a list of the films I watched.  Again, probably not hugely interesting to many, but if you want a little peek inside the cobwebbed brain of the Coelacanth, here it is.  Like last time, some at times obvious and at times intriguing patterns emerged.

If you care to scroll through the list, a couple of explanatory remarks: the film titles with (C) beside them are ones I saw in the cinema.  In some cases (i.e. TV series/some films), I didn't watch the entire thing on that specific day, but the day listed is simply when I completed the series/film (i.e. I didn't watch all of season five of Buffy in a single day).  In all cases, I watched the entire film.  If I watched half, it didn't count - for example, I didn't include Michael Mann's Thief, and I watched 95 of its 124 minute run-time.  Some of the films were re-watches, most were not.  Here goes:
