0 = NOT SEEN
1 = SEEN
disclaimer: i haven't seen the fighter, so all the following might change based on an intended viewing this weekend.
there's a good chance that winter's bone is the greatest movie ever made, because 1) it's all over this list and 2) i've not yet seen it.
but the big question: where the hell is TRON in all this? seriously.
