I’m going to Sundance again in January, and for the first time in 6 years, I’ve actually read through the entire slate of feature-length films before arriving in Park City and made a list of the films I’d like to see, which I then anal-retentively sorted into three categories: Dying to See, Really Want to See, and Would be Happy to See. Here’s the list, which besides the group-sort is presented in no particular order (see, I’m not that anal):

1. Bottle Shock
2. U2 3D
3. What Just Happened?
4. Towelhead
5. Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden?
6. A Complete History of My Sexual Failures

10. Smart People
11. American Teen
12. Gonzo: the Life and Work of Hunter S. Thompson

Forty-seven films in 5 days. Ambitious? Impossible, especially since I’m only there for the second half of the festival and many of these films may have already screened. But it’s a direction to go in.
