Happy New Year!

In the year 2005 I watched about 245 movies. I say "about" because there's still one more day in the year and Alice and I are planning to go see King Kong today. That number includes short films and Columbo TV movies, but it doesn't include movies I fell asleep while watching or bailed out of after 20 minutes.

The favorite actors of 2005 were Barbara Stanwyck, who was in 11 of the movies I saw, and Robert Mitchum, who was in 9. Peter Lorre (8 movies), Joan Crawford (7 movies) and Lee Van Cleef (7 movies) were the runners up. Bernard Herrmann was the favorite soundtrack composer (8 movies), no surprise. The favorite director was Hayao Miyazaki (7 movies).
