A consolidated film diary for tracking my viewing, which I hope could also serve as recommendation. There are a lot of films – feature length and shorts – missing from this list, thanks to my negligence in jotting them down. I hope to add them to the list whenever I come across them again. The films have been rated – as an obligation – based partly on proficiency and historical importance and partly on taste and initial impressions, partly on an absolute scale and partly on a relative one. In other words, totally arbitrarily.
[Rough key: 10,9: All-time Favorites/Masterpieces, 8,7: Pretty Great/Essential, 6,5: Compelling, but with major reservations, 4,3: Mostly disappointing, 2,1: Turn-offs]

Wow. This is great :) Much more informative than /4 star rating that you used before .

I feel so too, Richie. But I’m still a bit embarassed about rating films. Oh well.

Yes, Detailed reviews would be ideal but those are of course a lot more time consuming. In the meantime, this helps in getting atleast a perfunctory idea of how you find certain auteurs / their films in relation to other auteurs/films.
