IMDb Top 250 Update

Back in late-August, I did a post about the IMDb Top 250 list and posted links to all the films within this list that I've reviewed. Not to blow my own trumpet, but I got a lot of good feedback on it and have decided to keep at it.

Every 3 months I'll give you guys an update on how I'm doing. As before there'll be a list to a review for each film I've seen, with the ones in blue being films that I need to revisit and the ones in red being ones that scored less than 3/5 and therefore, as far as I'm concerned, shouldn't be there.

If you like what you've read, either here or in the original post, you can chart your progress at http://www.250films.net/. You can also download a widget from there to post on your own blog, like I do on the right-hand side.

So, without further ado, let's see how far I've come in three months...
