Movies Shot In The First Person?

OK so after watching some movies that are shot in the first person i have been looking for a few more that are shot like that as well. I know of a few, anyone know any more? the ones i know of are:

Cloverfield
Quarantine - remake of [REC]
Diary Of The Dead
Doom - has a first person scene
Cannibal Holocaust - Jumps between first person and normal style of filming
The Zombie Diaries
[REC]
Welcome To The Jungle
Alone With Her
Home Movie
Blair Witch Project

I have seen the top 6 movies on that list and i enjoyed most of them. I still have to check the rest out. you guys know of any others?

Wasn't there a black and white French film quite famous for a very long first person shot?

sure did. i knew it was going to be awful, but i still wanted to see it at the cinema. even with my horribly low expectations, i still came away pissed off. i couldn't believe it was AvP-bad. i didn't expect to see a movie that horrible ever again.

It's the girl from Dexter, his sister, right? I still need to see Quarantine, I've heard great things.

Yep, her name is Jennifer Carpenter

Her and Michael Hall (Dexter) got married recently

Only one reason to watch that movie, imo.

Porn is by far the genre that does it the most

(pun intended)

I thought it was amazing, actually. First horror movie in a long time that actually felt suspenseful.

i found with cloverfield and quarantine i got a little motion sick till my eyees adjusted to the style of filming.

REAL-LIFE.

Its not necessarily a movie but is always 110% shot in first person. Its an odd paradigm really.
