Made a watchlist for myself.

I took a few of these off my own watchlist because they didn't seem readily available and/or subtitled.

Where do you all think is the best place to start the Discovery Project/Reviews thread for 1945? Should it be here in the Retro Filmspots board? In the main Movie Talk board? Or maybe in the Marathons board, since it really is a group marathon of sorts?

The marathon board seems like a good spot.

Does Letterboxd let you export a text version of lists that I can use to more easily update the discovery project master watchlist?

Rome Open City is about as canonical as a movie gets.
