list of movies

okay its been about a month- updating my list with red for most recent- 1/2/12 I’ve added an extended list of Oscars to include some more I guess that were nominated and not just for best picture. i’m adding at the bottom a list of movies not on the list, that I’ve enjoyed recently.i’ve been renting alot of movies from the library to relax, or do mindless work along with. figured i’d see how many “good ones” i’ve seen. ones ive seen are crossed off.tonight i just watched the aviator and it was like 3 freaking hours long. whats with leonardo dicaprio and making epically long films?i only did 1990′s on because, heck, i don’t watch old movies. now the real help would be for someone to tell me which of these i haven’t seen yet are based on true stories or are period pieces/historical fiction, or are about black American struggle. those are my favorites.
