I broke my five year streak of seeing nothing and went and saw Slumdog Millionaire today. It was worth it. Very good movie!

Here are some more. I’m sure I’ve seen more I’ve forgotten or never knew the name of. Bold means I’ve seen ’em. Italics means I think I saw it, but maybe I saw the stage play or a different version or something. I’m not sure.
