8. Limelight (1952)
dir. Charlie Chaplin

I've been a big Chaplin fan for quite some time now, but Limelight showed off his unique talent for sentimentality and, simultaneously, gave me many new reasons to love the guy.

18. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

I watched 17 Woody Allen films in 2011. Hannah and Her Sisters is not just my favorite of his films; after numerous rewatches and seizing the opportunity to watch it in the cinema, it's probably my most beloved film I've seen throughout the year!

Great selection. I've seen 12 of them, and would love to see the rest. Can't wait till The Artist opens near me next week!
