Yes, you read it right, 500 Films in a year. Princess Kinoc is the brainchild of the project. From her introductory entry, the project was inspired by the movie Julie and Julia (2009) which was about a food blogger on her quest to cook every recipe in Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking (1961). If Ebert watched 450 films last 2009 according to his Yearend Reviews Book 2009 and Jay-r around 400 films, then I think it's doable. I've watched 200+ feature films last year excluding, of course, the many, many short films I've watched during weekends and holidays. So here are the rules for the challenge:

Miniseries are allowed i.e. Carlos (2010), The Decalogue (1988) but major series are not. As long as you watched them after you accepted the dare its okay.
