2004 Screening Log

Trying something new to me for 2004. Format mostly ripped off Mike D'Angelo and other online screening log-o-philes. I reserve the right to pull this when I get too lazy to update it. For the sake of year-end convenience, 2004 films seen in 2003 (except those seen at festivals) are stuck at the beginning of the list. Also for my convenience, a movie's year is determined either by original North American release date or, if the film is never released commercially, by the date of its North American premiere, to the best of my knowledge.


"^" after a film indicates a repeat viewing.

"*" after a film indicates a viewing on DVD or video, at home or projected in a theater, or on tv.
