Lots to dig into with this list, but let me just pick one to comment on: Legend of the Condor Heroes. I tried reading it a year or two ago, but bounced off it pretty hard at the time. Last month, however, I finished The Grace of Kings by Ken Liu, which I think I can safely say is a deliberate homage to Condor Heroes and other Wuxia classics. I absolutely loved GoK, and intend to read the rest of Liu's Dandelion Dynasty series this year. I would describe that first book precisely the way you described Condor Heroes. So, two lessons: 1) I should give Condor Heroes another shot at some point, and 2) you might enjoy The Dandelion Dynasty.

Though it won't actually give you the dates you watched them, Movielens.org is a great place to keep track of ratings of movies you watched, and if you go back and look at your ratings, you can at least list them in chronological order of when you rated them.
