Every now and then I write down movies and TV shows I remember seeing.
This is incomplete and inaccurate.

The Body Remembers When the World Broke Open

Breaking Bad

The Big Liebowski

Varda: if watching on DVD, don't skip the accompanying "making of"
	documentaries.
Le Bonheur
Cléo de 5 à 7
Sans Toit ni Loi
La Pointe Courte (2009-11): aadl dvd
Les Plages d'Agnès
Les Glaineurs et La Glaineuse
Daguerréotypes
Visages Villages
Une Chambre en Ville

Resnais:
L'année dernière à Marienbad
Coeurs

Demy:
Lola
Peau d'Ane
Les Parapluies de Cherbourg
Les demoiselles de Rochefort
La Baie des Anges

Eric Rohmer: for some reason, I saw "La Collecteuneuse" and decided I
hated Rohmer and would never ever see anything he did ever again.  And
then I saw "Ma nuit chez Maud" and decided the opposite.  Who can
explain.
La Collecteuneuse: maybe I should try it again (later: tried it again;
	still don't see the point).
Ma nuit chez Maude
La Femme de l'Aviateur
La Carrière de Suzanne
L'Amour L'Aprés-Midi
Le Genou de Claire
Les Nuits de la Pleine Lune
Conte d'Été (2009-11, library DVD)
Le Rayon Vert (2009-12, library DVD)
Pauline à la plage
Conte de Printemps
Conte d'automne
L'ami de mon amie: like it.
L'Ainglaise et le Duc: uses an odd technique for the outdoor shots, with
  live actors and painted backgrounds, I think?, that actually looks
  really good.  comes down to a man and a woman that have a long of long
  conversations with each other, as usual.  I liked it.

Pagnol:
Marius
Fanny
Cesar
La Gloire de Mon Père
Jean de Florette
Manon des Sources

La Fin Du Monde: some French guy made this movie and it got bought by some
American guy who slathered on plan-9-worthy narration, subtitles, and
intertitles (is that a word?) and earnest scientist-presented preface.
Definitely not quality, but sort of fun to watch and guess what the
original idea might have been.

Don Quixote (Pabst, 1933): Great.  Fun songs.

La Jetée: possibly my favorite movie.
Sans Soleil

Top Hat
The Gay Divorcee
Swing Time
Easter Parade

The General
Seven Chances: (includes the mob-of-brides chase scene)
The Scarecrow
(and several more)

La Règle du Jeu
La Grande Illusion

Godard:
Alphaville: Been through it many times, still mystified.
Band à Part
Breathless
Le Mépris: A favorite
Tout Va Bien: utterly opaque to me; maybe you had to be in France in 1968 to
	get it.  Jane Fonda, Yves Montand.
Une Femme est Une Femme: I love all the interrupted musical gestures.
Vivre Sa Vie
Weekend: if we ever held a carfree movie night this would be ideal.  One of
	the big scenes is a long pan over an endless absurd traffic jam.
	It may feature more crashed cars than any movie I've seen.  We watched
	10 minutes or so of the commentary, and it mostly seemed to be stuff
	anyone mildly observant would have noticed.
Pierrot Le Fou: I think my parents must have taken me to a Godard film series
	at the Smithsonian in high school.  All I remember is the final scene
	of this movie.  After seeing the movie again in 2005, I think that's
	still all I'll remember....
Masculin Féminin
Tous les garçons s'appèlent Patrick
Une Histoire d'Eau: turns out you can find this with the DVD of Le
	Dernier Métro.  huh.
Made in U.S.A.: pffft, I give up.

Chabrol:
La Ceremonie: ugh.
La Fille coupée en deux: hated it.  I have trouble with both Chabrol and
	Sagnier.  The characters seem like just mechanical constructions
	created to support some ugly grim joke.
L'enfer: jealousy taken to an extreme.  Hey, a Chabrol that I didn't
	totally hate.  Not that I'd see it again either.

Truffaut:
La Nuit Américaine
Tirez sur le pianiste: didn't really get it; I should watch again.
Jules et Jim: eh.
Les Quatre Cents Coups
Antoine et Colette
Domicile Conjugal
Baisers Volés
L'amour en Fuite
L'argent de poche
Vivement Dimanche!
La Mariée était en noir
L'Enfant Sauvage
Farenheit 451
L'Histoire d'Adele H.
Le Dernier Métro
Sirène du mississipi


Tati:
Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot
Trafic
Mon Oncle
Play Time

Les Chansons d'amour: wild.  Would see it again.  Liked the understated
	songs.
Dans Paris: A song when I least expected it.

I've long heard people complain about, enthuse about, or, usually, make fun of,
Bollywood films.  I recently noticed some showing up at the library, so figured
I should try a few:

Main Hoon Na: Very derivative and predictable, with values I didn't always
	like (why does the cause of peace always depend on beating up so many
	people?).  But it really had everything you could ask for in a popular
	movie, and the singing and dancing was energetic and fun.
Koi... Mil Gaya: What was the one thing Main Hoon Na was missing?  A friendly
	blue alien, of course!  The reasoning was impeccable, so I checked out
	this one too.  Alas.  It had a few moments, but....
Lagaan: Compared to the others, relatively restrained.  A group of villagers
	accept that they can't beat their british occupiers at cricket, a game
	they've never played, with the stakes their crushing annual tax
	("lagaan").
Devdas: oh no!  They can have sad endings too!  Oh well.  This one was
	good.  Song and dance bits are well done.  The script seems a bit
	excessively poetic, and it's hard to make sense of the subtitles
	at times.
Kandukondain Kandukondain: Based on "sense and sensibility", supposedly.
	I found it ridiculous, but liked it anyway.
Kehtaa hai dil baar baar: cheezy, overdone humor, but fun, about a love
	affair between a street vendor and the daughter of "the Roger" Patel,
	not the sort to allow his daughter to hang out with street vendors.
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai: Young man (Shahrukh Khan) is oblivious to his best friend
	Angeli's love for him, and instead marries their mutual friend Tina;
	Tina dies in childbirth, insists their daughter be named Angeli, and
	leaves her a letter to be opened on her 8th birthday instructing her
	to fix up Angeli and her dad.  The melodrama ensues, complete with
	last-minute wedding reversals, cute children, rain everywhere--the
	works.  The songs didn't do anything for me.  It had its moments,
	I suppose.
Dil Chahta Hai: seems to be a favorite for some, but Sara and I watched it
	and... uh... I don't really remember it.
Eklavya: saw it in Laurel with my cousin Laura.  Dramatic setting,
	beautifully photographed.  Only one song, and that entirely in
	character.
Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge: quite lovely in spots, actually.
Jab we Met
Sholay
Gandi 
Lage Raho Munna Bhai

Annie Hall

Manhattan Murder Mystery: saw this in Portland with Elinor, I think, but
  can't remember a thing about it now....

Animatrix (saw most of the episodes; had some technical problems)
The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded, Matrix Revolutions

Band of Ninja: UM CJS film series, fall 2003: basically just a filmed comic
  book (no actual animation), but the photography is very dynamic and the big
  screen encourages you to really look at the drawing (which is gorgeous) in a
  way you wouldn't otherwise.  You get a strong sense of action.  The story,
  however, is very dense, goes by very fast, and is hard to follow.  This may
  have partly been the fault of the way it was adapted for English speakers in
  the version we saw--instead of dubbing or subtitles, there was inserted
  occasional (very melodramatic) voice-over narration that attempted to
  summarize the action.

Totoro
Spirited Away
Kiki's Delivery Service
Princess Mononoke
Castle Cagliostro
Porco Rosso
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Winds
Grave of the Fireflies: Maybe the saddest movie I've seen.

ToP 2004:
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
A Mighty Wind: I found this one a little tedious
The Iron Giant

Three Stooges: saw a collection of shorts, including "Punch Drunks",
"Who Done It", "Woman Haters", "Yes, We Have No Bonanza", "Gents Without
Cents", "All the World's A Stooge" and "Hoi Polloi".

Office Space
2001: A Space Odyssey
(500) Days of Summer
8 Femmes
A Clockwork Orange
A Hard Day's Night
Á la folie... pas du tout: The marketing is a bit insulting to the movie, it
  seems to me: to read the jacket you'd think it was a romantic comedy--they're
  clearly trying to sell it to people who liked Audrey Tautou in "Amélie". In
  reality it's something quite a bit creepier, but still pretty good, so why
  couldn't they just come out and say that? Oh well.
A League of their Own
A Scanner Darkly: the animated-over-live-action technique is great.  It
	may be the only PKD-based movie I've seen that really felt like
	his books do.
About A Boy: (saw at ToP): Hugh Grant, novel by same guy as High
  Fidelity; independent guy brought kicking and screaming into real
  relationships by a kid.
Adventureland
Airplane!
Aladdin: Disney, Genie played by Robin Williams
Amazon Women on the Moon
An Education: 2009-11-20 @ michigan
Angel-A: Not much to it, but has some interesting-looking scenes.
Anvil! The Story of Anvil:  Aie.  They still don't get it.  They're
	still trying to "hit it big".  Good, but I didn't completely get
	it.
Apollo 13
Ascenseur pour l'échafaud: first fiction film by Louis Malle ("before
	this I had only directed fish, not actors..."), score by Miles Davis,
	four people acting appropriately stupid.
A Storming Drummer (Summer 2006 CJS):
Austin Powers
Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me: liked this one best, but maybe only
  because I saw it first.
Banlieu 13: great action scenes, interesting characters, thin
  story, overdone after-school-special moral.
Batman
Batman Forever
Bedazzled (a remake; saw it with Ravi in Ann Arbor)
Beijing Bicycle
Belle de Jour: on DVD, May 2009.  More interesting than I expected, but
  wouldn't see it again.
Best of Show
Body Heat: 2009 Michigan Theater Noir series: I found it completely tedious.
Boudu Sauvé des Eaux:
Branded to Kill: 2005 fall CJS: I was pretty bored, but maybe I missed the
  point.
Breakfast at Tiffany's: independent-minded but desparate young woman (Audrey
  Hepburn) meets young writer.
Bride and Prejudice: Hollywood does Bollywood; not a bad version of one of
  my favorite novels.  The famous first sentence comes out in the slang
  of a sulky teenager.
Bringing up Baby
Bud Abbott Lou Costello Meet Frankenstein
Casablanca
Catch me if you Can
Chameleon Street
Chansons D'amour: unique musical
Charade
Charlie's Angels: Saw at T.o.P. (and again on Amtrak?).  Dumb but kinda fun.
Chocolat
Citizen Kane:  well, anyway, I vaguely seem to remember watching it at
	Reed.
Coco Avant Channel: 2009-11-11 @ Michigan (french group)
Code inconnu: Confusing.  Maybe I should give it another try.
Combien tu m'aimes: Well that was odd.
Comme une Image:
Coup de Torchon:
Cowboy Bebop: CJS film series 2005.  Ending maybe a little cheesy.  Corgi part
  disappointingly small.
Crazed Fruit (Summer 2006 CJS): and the speedboat goes around, and around,
  and around....
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Dangerous Liaisons
Dans Paris: people get on your nervese.  A telephone conversation and a
  song to the rescue.
Dark City: ?
Dazed and Confused (Linklater)
Diaboliques: Fun mystery story.
Diary of a Shinjuku Thief: CJS film series 2005.  Fun in an absurd kind of way.
Die Hard
Drunken Master: older Jackie Chan; dated, but still lots of fun.
E.T.
Earth Girls are Easy
Edward Scissorhands
Entre Les Murs:
Escanaba in da Moonlight
Eyes Wide Shut
Fallen Angel (Kurasawa)
Farewell to the Ark: CJS film series 2005.  Bizarre, but interesting.
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Faubourg 36
Fauteuils d'Orchestra
Fear of a Black Hat
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Fierce Creatures: eh.
Fighting Elegy (Summer 2006 CJS): very strange
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within: some bad action movie cliches, but
  gorgeous animation and more interesting than you might think.  Plot is
  kind of Nausicaa-like (young woman and empathy save the world).
Finding Nemo
Four Weddings and a Funeral
Funny Face
Galaxy Quest: Now that was funny
Gandhi
Ghost World:
Gonin: extremely violent japanese gangster movie
Groundhog Day
Guys and Dolls: fun!  Lots of great songs.  Fun costumes.
Happily Ever After (Jigyaku no Uta): My goodness.  Strange.  But
	interesting, if you can put up with some of the Japanese
	daytime-drama bits.  And the moral that if you're an abused wife
	you should just hang in there and he'll reform some day....
Heathers
Hellboy: OK, but not great
Hellboy II: The Golden Army: ditto
Hellraiser
High Fidelity: Saw this with Ravi in A^2.
High Society (1956): See also: Philadelphia Story (1940).  Maybe Louis
	Armstrong's part is a cliche, but I liked him.  Didn't realize
	it was a remake of a stroy I'd seen before till the very end!
His Girl Friday
Holiday: Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn; based on a play.  Too many dull
	speeches telling you the moral of the story.
Honey and Clover (Hachimitsu to Clover): I think you have to be a
	teenager.  (CJS 2009)
House of Flying Daggers (shi Mian Mai Fu):  Maybe not as good as Hero,
	but still had some beautiful scenes.
How to be a Player
It's Always Fair Weather
Immortel (ad vitam): interesting in some ways, but better skipped.
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom: first saw in France, dubbed ("Indiana
  Jones et le Temple Maudit"), which was weird.
Indiana Jones III (name?)
In the Heat of the Night
In the Loop
Innocence: Ghost in the Shell II: CJS film series 2005.  Enjoyed it.
Invasions Barbares:
Italian for Beginners
It Might Get Loud
It's Always Fair Weather
Jean de Florette, Manon des Sources
Jesus Christ Superstar: I like the songs.  The movie is ludicrous.
Jewel of the Nile: Saw it for the Karamozov's and Avner the Eccentric, but
  I now remember *nothing* about it....
Jurassic Park
Juwanna Mann: I was on an airplane.  What can I say.
Kentucky Fried Movie
Key Largo
Kind Hearts and Coronets
Koyaanisqatsi
Kung Fu Hustle
L'affaire Farewell
L'Auberge Espagnole
L'heure d'été: (Michigan 2009): good!
La Chêvre: rewatched 2009-11 (Askwith DVD): originally saw it in High
	School?  (Maybe a French class thing?)  What stuck with me was
	the final scene.
La Diagonale du Fou: seemed a little dated and not that interesting.
La Doublure: fluff, but I enjoyed it.
La Fille de Monaco: 2009 @ Michigan w/ french group
La Haine: eh.
La Passion de Jeanne D'Arc: (Dreyer)
Le Cercle Rouge: saw this once in some confusion.  Should probably try
	it again some time, expecially after having seen rififi.
	(Later: great characters!  Nice heist!  Worth the second attempt.)
Le Corbeau:
Le Déclin de L'Empire Américain: blah.
Le Quai des Brumes: gangsters, tragic love, Le Havre, with Jean Gabin.
Le Samouraï:
Le Scaphandre et le Papillon
Le Vieil homme et l'enfant:
Les Contrabandieres: I think I may have actually given up and
	fast-forwarded throught most of this.
Les Enfants du Paradis
Les Poupées Rousses:
Let the Right One In: eh.
Linda Linda Linda (Summer 2006 CJS): relaxed, deadpan comedy about a group
  of teenagers forming a punk band for their school festival.
Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring
Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King: I enjoyed all these, but felt
  a little exhausted by the end.  I wish they didn't have to make these
  as big action movies--the battle scenes are fun, but you lose the
  characters.
Lost in Translation:
Lost World (name?) based on a Conan Doyle novel?  Silent, saw it with Dave
  Lewis & folks at DIA with a live band
Love Songs: odd nouveau-Godard musical.  Would like to try it again some day.
Maltese Falcon:
Ma Mère: hard to watch.
Ma Saison Préferée: good, but probably wouldn't watch it again.
Match Point: OK, actually I think I saw this on cable at a hotel and I
	may have only come in partway through.
Metropolitan (1990)
Metropolis
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
Milk:
Minority Report (based on a Phillip K. Dick story I haven't read)
Mississippi Masala:
Modern Times:
Molière:
Mon Meillure Ami
Monsoon Wedding
Mostly Martha
Mrs. Doubtfire
Muppets from Space
Muppets Treasure Island
Muriel's Wedding
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
Naked Lunch: based on the William Buroughs novel, but only in spirit, of
  course--how could you translate such a thing literally?
Ninja Thunderbolt: terrible, but has its moments.  The pinnacle is the
  chase scene between a group of rollerblading ninjas and a guy in a
  little 3-wheeled car.
Ocean's Eleven (2001 remake)
OSS 117
Paris:
Paris, je t'aime: So I have to admit it took me a while to reconcile
  with the idea that each segment was going to be completely separate
  and we weren't going to see any characters come back again.
  But, anyway, I enjoyed most of these a lot.
Paris vu par...: chabrol, douchet, godard, pollet, rohmer, rouch
Patlabor II (1999 Summer CJS)
Pineapple Express: pointless stoner comedy
Ping Pong: Wow.  Loved it!  Wow.
Plan 9 from Outer Space: Well, I felt I had to see it.  It's true that, though
  it's terrible, it's terrible in ways that make it fun to watch for the most
  part, so it's not completely painful to sit through it.
Pulp Fiction
Quand la mer Monte:
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Ran:
Reves de Poussiére: slow-paced, but I wasn't bored at all; quite beautiful.
Ridicule:
Rififi: loved the heist scene, and the wild ride with the kid is a great
	ending.
Run Lola Run
Sabrina: Audrey Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart
School of Rock: Sort of formulaic, but well done.
Scoop: The flip-side to Match Point?
Scream
Scream II
Séraphine: 2009 @ michigan w/ french group
Serenity
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers:
Sex, Lies, and Videotape: saw while at Reed
Shaolin Soccer: hilarious; has the best ever hero-entrance scene of any sports
	movie I've seen.  For maximum zaniness, skip the american release
	and see the hong kong version, which seems to be available on some
	DVD editions.
Séraphine:
Sixteen Candles
Sky High:
Slacker: saw while at Reed
Slumdog Millionaire: for something with Bollywood influence, putting the
	only song into the final credits is lame, lame, lame.
Some Like it Hot
Spinal Tap
Star Trek: Insurrection:  Terrible
Star Wars: Phantom Menace
Star Wars: The Attack of the Clones
Straight, No Chaser
Superbad
Swimming Pool
Taboo: (Nagima Oshima) Saw at UM center for japanese studies film series.
  About a young boy that everyone simultaneously lusts for and seems to hate.
Terminator
The African Queen
The Brothers Bloom
The Dark Crystal
The Fifth Element:
The Fountain: Pfft.  Kind of interesting, but also pretty boring.
The Great Dictator:
The Island:
The Italian Job: (remake):
The Legend of Drunken Master: somewhat of an update of the original, this time
	with an anti-alcoholism moral (huh?)  Not quite as wild as the
	original, but has its moments.
The Muppet Movie
The Muppets Take Manhattan
The Philadelphia Story
The Pink Panther
The Pink Panther Strikes Again
The Prestige
The Producers (original)
The Producers (based on the musical)
The Revenge of the Pink Panther
There's Something About Mary: didn't find this so great.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show: First saw this at midnight at the State Theater,
  in my first or second year in Ann Arbor.  I was pretty tired, and the
  coordinated dancing and stuff all reminded me of some sort of irritating
  kindergarden activity.  Saw it on DVD in 2004 and still didn't find much to
  get excited about.
The Terminal: cute, has a nice appearance by a juggler.
The 13th floor: based on a book called "Simulacron 3"
The Wedding Singer:
The Wings of Honneamise (199 summer CJS): interesting anime
The World of Henry Orient: Having just seen a few Pink Panther movies, we
	thought it would be amusing.  Should have skipped it....
The Wrestler:  Very good--worth seeing again some time.
Top Gun
Toy Story
Toy Story 2
Troy: The Iliad, with big-name actors, video-game fight scenes, and with the
	Trojan horse thrown in for good measure.  Ugh.
12 monkeys:  It's fine.  But in the time spent watching this you could see
  oh, I think about four and a half showings of La Jetée.
The 5th Element
The Big Sleep:
The Fight Club
The Fisher King
The 40 Year Old Virgin
The Godfather (Parts I, II, and III)
The Name of the Rose
The Perfect Man: saw with Sara on a flight back from Hawaii.  Forgettable.
The Philadelphia Story: Katherine Hepburn; fun; fast dialog, requires
  concentration to catch every joke....
The Producers (original):
The Producers (remake based on the musical):
The Shining
The Thirteenth Warrior: saw in Ann Arbor with Ravi
The Wall
The Wedding Banquet
Timecode: Split-screen, four continuous takes
Three Colors: Blue
Three Colors: White: probably the most bitter revenge story I've seen.
Three Colors: Red
Tommy: Wow.  If you thought Jesus Christ Superstar was weird....
Tout contre Léo
True Stories
Two Lovers:
UHF: Weird Al's only movie.  Funny!
Un Baiser S'il Vous Plaît:
Un Coeur en Hiver
Up
Vanity Fair: (Mira Nair)
Va Savoir: saw Dec. 2003: a little slow to get started, but worth it all
  for the final duel (involving vodka and heights).
Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Volver
Waiting for Guffman
Wallace and Gromit:
	A Grand Day Out
	The Wrong Trousers
	A Close Shave
	Curse of the Were-Rabbit
Wasabi: Luc Besson.  Not great, but kinda fun.
Wedding Crashers: Entertaining, but somehow not as funny as it tried to be.
West Side Story: having grown up with the soundtrack, I was disappointed
	by the final movie.  It had its points (e.g. the opening dance is
	wild), but the romance doesn't work at all.  In retrospect the best
	way to enjoy it would probably be to ignore the rest of the movie
	and just listen for what's giong on on the soundtrack.
When Harry Met Sally
White Hunter Black Heart
Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Wings of Desire
Woman of the Year: saw 2002: I can see why people would want to write papers
  about it, but I didn't find it to be such a great movie.
La verite si je mens!:
La verite si je mens! 2: fluff, but I enjoyed it.
Young Frankenstein: For some reason I was expecting the sort of 60
  laughs-per-minute excess of "Airplane!".  Compared to that, it was restrained
  (not that the jokes were particularly subtle).  But it was funny, and very
  well done.
You've Got Mail

Stuff I want to see some day for some reason that I may no longer remember:
Le Dernier Combat
Six-String Samurai
The Magnificent Seven
