I Seem To Watch A Lot Of Movies

Here's a list of my movie views so far this year, in the order I saw them (foreign names rendered in English):

Pulp Fiction (USA, 1994)
Rope (USA, 1948)
Mandabi
(Senegal, 1968)
Lawrence of Arabia (UK, 1962)
Water
(Canada/India, 2005)
To Be and To Have (France, 2002)
Pan's Labyrinth (Mexico, 2006)
Zorba the Greek (UK/Greece, 1964)
Identity Pieces (DR Congo, 1998)
An American in Paris
(USA, 1951)
The Last King of Scotland (UK, 2006)
Osama (Afghanistan, 2003)
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (USA, 1975)

So that's 13 movies, nine of which are foreign. Five total are from foreign countries outside of Europe. Two are African (and due to my African cinema class, I'm sure there will be tons more.) Only two of them were seen as a theatrical release. Some are old (1948) and some are brand new (2006).

I will take all of this info to mean two things:

1) I am rather well-rounded.
2) Free Blockbuster coupons sure pays off.

I'm confused. Is that just movies you've watched or movies you saw for the first time? And if that's the first time you saw Pulp Fiction-- My god man!

That is all.

Movie's I've watched for the first time. Some of them I saw because they were so famous and I'd never seen them before (Pulp Fiction, Lawrence of Arabia, Cuckoo's Nest). There were two movies I saw for the second time: Volver and History of Violence.
