My Year in Movies 2010 (All of them)
At the end of 2009, I decided to write down all the movies I watched. I was curious about how many I watched, and I thought it would be fun to go back and see what I watched (I’m sure project 365 had something to do with it). I also got Netflix whose website I really enjoy scrolling through and rating movies. So here’s my list of movies I watched in 2010 (give or take a few days) and my ratings for each on a scale from 1 to 5:

I watched 137 movies.
- 4 I watched twice (Not counting those I re-watched bits of when they’re on TV).
- 68 I had watched before.
- 69 I watched for the 1st time (giggity).
137 movies in a little more than a year. That’s ~2.5 movies per week. Even with margin of error (those I forgot to write down, those I didn’t count because I didn’t watch the whole thing, those I didn’t pay any attention to because I was doing something else), that’s a pretty low average considering how much I love watching movies. I’m going to try to fix that for 2011.
(I watched 137 movies, wrote them all down, wrote a program to manage the list, and blogged about it. I think I just figured out why I don’t read very much.)
