Another introduction

In the previous post, Robin introduced himself and the project a little bit, so you'll have an idea of what you might be in for over the year. He's the film buff, the critic, and the one who came up with this whole crazy idea in the first place. I'm the wife, and I'm just along for the ride. I know nothing about the technical aspects of movie making, and while I like movies (a lot) I'm not what you could call a film buff. I have my favorite genres (romantic comedies, anyone?) and I know what I like and what I don't like. I've never written a movie review or critique in my life.

Introduction

People often embark upon silly projects for the New Year, often involving itemized lists, to keep themselves motivated and moving forward with their lives.  Sometimes it even works.  So here's my silly project: I intend to watch 52 classic films - one every week of 2011 - spanning the last century of feature cinema and in chronological order.
