trailer for GRAVITY the new film from Alfonso Cuaron (director of the masterpiece CHILDREN OF MEN) looks stunning, if only I found the 2 stars more interesting.
bit disappointed since you're a self-professed 'film buff' but since you are interested in film I'd reccomend you see the following films to know who the others are:
Elizabeth Olsen - Martha Marcy May Marlene
David Strathairn - Good Night And Good Luck
Sally Hawkins - Happy-Go-Lucky
Ken Watanabe - Letters From Iwo Jima (You actually probably have seen him - he's in The Last Samurai, Batman Begins and Inception)
Juliette Binoche - Trois Couleurs: Bleu
Minor film buff. I'm not a major until I see 1,000. I've seen 400. I don't pay much attention to the actors, but rather the directors, producers, distributors, composers, sometimes editors, and special effects people.

Fair enough, I've never seen you mention any of them though. I never trust anyone who says they pay more attention to the crew than the cast (equal attention, sure) since the cast are the first ones billed at the end of a movie and the ones on posters etc. They're as important as cinematographers, editors, production designers etc (take any of those people out and you don't have a proper film).
Although I would say that having knowledge of film is often about the quality of films you see, not the quanity. Rather like posting on a forum.
I still reccommend all those films I mentioned though.
Would you guys consider me to be a film buff? According to RYM (http://rateyourmusic.com/~Cubbierill) I've seen only 882 movies, but my top 100 (http://www.imdb.com/list/yts2fzBBsx4/), I have great appreciation for everyone from Bergman to Godard to Tarr to Lynch to Wood to Linklater. And I would like to think that I have fairly deep-rooted knowledge of the European New Wave.
