I wanted to start a blog mainly to help me let out my thoughts on movies and shows that I might be watching at the moment. At the start of March 2015 I decided to start tracking the movies I was watching. Up to that point I had already been diving into older movies as well as foreign movies that I would never have a chance of seeing in theaters or on TV. Part of the reason I started cataloging the movies I saw was to keep track of titles so I wouldn’t watch something twice, but it was also mainly to see how many movies I would end up watching in a year.
From March 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015 I watched 400 movies that I hadn’t seen before. I decided to continue tracking the number of movies I watched every year after that. 2016 ended up being a busier year with school, a project I was helping out on and work so I only ended up watching 294 movies that year. With a somewhat lighter schedule and a full year I thought for sure in 2017 I would be able to beat my viewing number from 2015. I ended 2017 with 397 movies just a few movies shy of my 2015 total which made me want to see if the following year I could surpass those 400. I don’t know how I managed to do it considering my work schedule which on some days only left me with a few hours of free time, but I did it and by a huge margin as well. At the end of 2018 I had managed to see 984 movies!!!! A number that could have easily gone into the 1000 range if I hadn’t binge watched X-files as well as re-watching several other shows like Boardwalk Empire, Mad Men and The Sopranos throughout the year. I told myself to slow down for 2019 since I no longer needed to watch several movies a day to reach a certain number. That’s exactly what I did taking a more casual approach yet at the end of 2019 I ended up with 646 watched movies. Only 5 days into 2020 and I’m already at 15 movies so I’m going to start writing reviews for some of the movies I watch just to try and slow down my view count. I can’t promise anything though.
If you happen to be reading this, how many movies do you watch a year? If anyone wants to know what my favorite movies were for each year let me know and I can make a list.
