Lists. Girish and STP.

Via Girish, who himself has just posted an alphabetical list his favorite new films, a chronological list of his favorite older films seen for the first time, plus films he's revisited this year "that look better every time" and "10 great writers I had been aware of but only started reading seriously this year":

"As part of Screening the Past's tenth anniversary, we invited about 300 colleagues around Australia and the world to nominate the most important contributions to the field in the past decade - books, articles, reports, conferences, archival work, DVD reissues or commentaries, documentaries, online material, software - anything, not limited to any particular source, certainly not STP." Culled from 60 responses, "What we have is a semi-random, semi-self-selecting mosaic showing us what we, as a field, are thinking about, valuing, and using. It's also a great reading list."

And here and there, just plain good reading, too.
