I'm going to blame my Switch for the lack of movie watching this year. Hoping MoviePass is a game changer for 2018.

2009: 300
2010: 270
2011: 155
2012: 100
2013: 105
2014: 90
2015: 110
2016: 90
2017: 65

Don't know how I managed so many when I started. Shooting for 100+ in 2018.

 

Time for a new thread I guess

Honorable Mentions to...
The LEGO Ninjago Movie - because the ending made me cry. Yes, really.
mother! - For the last 40 mins, which cement Aronofsky's place the master of sensory overload.

 

This was the first year I really took movies seriously and followed the scene, and I love being able to look back at each movie on my list and remember exactly where I was and what I was feeling when I watched it. There were a few weeks in March and April where I was watching like four a day on top of going to school. I thankfully didn't keep that up so I'm surprised I watched as many as 333 movies this year: 99 movies from 2017, 28 from the 1980s, 20 from the 1990s, 115 horror movies, 66 drama movies, 46 comedies, 34 documentaries.. All but 44 were first-time watches, 37 were in theatres, and I watched 14 movies twice. Neato
