Shamelessly stealing this thread idea from ICM.
Here are a few of mine.
- Watch some of the longer movies that I've wanted to see for a while. Stuff like Satantango, Melancholia, Berlin Alexanderplatz, Out 1.
- See a lot more from the 1970's, which is shaping up to be my favorite decade.
- Watch more of Guy Maddin's filmography.
- Watch more of Sion Sono's filmography.
- Just generally continue to broaden my horizons and expand my taste in art.
Hope everyone had a good year and has a great 2018!

- Rewatch "L'avventura". I've been coming towards this for a couple of years (it's my most anticipated and often-postponed rewatch ever) and I feel like I'm finally gonna do it in 2018
- Watch more of classic Japanese cinema ("Harakiri" being the top priority)
- Complete Tarkovsky's filmography

- Watch more John Hurt films.
- Akira Kurosawa's movies.
- More quality Hindi films.
- Finally watch Pan's Labyrinth and The Lives of Others. And Paris, Texas as well.
I don't think I could afford to have more and I doubt I would be able to complete these as well :/

I won't have much time for films in 2018, since I will begin my compulsory military service in January, and it will last for nine months, but I hope to watch more films from acclaimed directors that I haven't seen much from, more specifically Mike Leigh, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Jia Zhangke and Francois Truffaut and explore more from Asian cinema.

- Rewatch "L'avventura".

The Japs make the best movies in the world, and Harakiri may be the best of them all. Tatsuya Nakadai's performance may be my single favorite perf of all time. As for me, I have no goals. Setting goals for real life is one thing, but I tend to take cinema as it comes. |

Work through my excessively long Filmstruck watchlist while not focusing solely on said list.
And to just not let my film viewing slow down as my life speeds up.

I’m gonna try and watch a new movie at least once a week, and maybe more of them will be foreign films.

here are some of mine:
- top one is at least to start a YouTube (or Vimeo) channel and make at least one analysis vid (suggestions for channel names?)
- watch more classic Hollywood, and 1930's-1940's films in general
- watch more female directed films unless they continue to bore me out of my skull

Go through the early years of cinema and create solid lineups for those years. Basically what idioticbunny has been doing over on the classic film sub-board.

Watch at least 3 more films from Straub-Huillet (I'm currently reading the Kafka novel Klassenverhältnisse is based on, so this among others)
Watch a couple more of the long ones: L'amour Fou, Shoah, Les Vampires, Edvard Munch, either Edward Yang film
Read at least 2 books about cinema (though, I'll have to be careful, most of them look boring and basic, I have Ruiz's 'Poetics of Cinema' though, so I only need 1 more to go - I consider the book from Bresson or Tarkovsky and also a decent looking one on Rohmer that I found).
Make more films.
Finnish my thorough german expressionism montage (made it because I was getting irritated the term is always linked to the exact same films with the excact same images).
Potentially start a blog (with among others: essays on film but hopefully also litterature, politics/society, science and tech)
Rewatch at least one Rohmer film.

I have a watchlist that has nearly 200 films that I'm working through currently.

Watch more classics, so as to make my film knowledge a little less of an embarrassment.
Catch up on all those 2010s titles I totally want to check out but can't ever seem to get around to.
And a big one, which isn't exactly film-related: re-acquire the discipline to watch TV. My series watchlist is in the dozens at this point, but I can never bring myself to actually sit through whole seasons at once the way I used to. I just don't have that habit (or the time?) anymore at all, which I'd like to regain.

Some critical reevaluation (not using the phrase "vulgar auteurism" because it's basically a meme); so checking out more films that were hated on release but have been slowly gaining more attention/possible cult-following in later years - Showgirls, New Rose Hotel, Miami Vice, etc
Read more books on film. I've read some before, but I want to check stuff like Tarkovsky's Sculpting in Time or Notes on the Cinematographer by Bresson
