"*" after a film title indicates that I saw it on videocassette, laserdisc, or DVD.
"[~]" after a film title indicates that I saw an unfinished version (e.g., score not finalized; not yet color-corrected; end credits missing; opticals incomplete, or any other deviations from the final release).
Right-leaning slashes /surrounding/ a film indicate that I had seen the film previously in its entirety. Left-leaning slashes \surrounding\ a film indicate that I had previously seen the film's first two reels.
Films numbered "sXX" are short films (fewer than 45 minutes long).
An entry beginning with "W/O" in lieu of a numeral indicates that I walked out at the end of the second reel (or, in the case of a film watched on home video, that I stopped the tape or DVD at about the 40-minute mark). This doesn't necessarily mean that I despised the film, but clearly I felt there was no compelling reason to stick around.
An entry beginning with "INC" in lieu of a numeral indicates that I was unable to finish watching the film for reasons beyond my control, e.g. mechanical failure, medical emergency, movie not even finished yet, etc.
