As 2014 comes to a close, I'm going to take the time once again to give statistics for the movie watching I did this past year.
I set myself a goal to watch at least 175 movies in 2014, which I did not meet. Because of this, I am not setting a goal for 2015. I I'm not disappointed my not making the goal, I've just come to realize life happens, and I won't always be able to watch 10+ movies a month.
So what did I watch in 2014? Altogether, 154 movies. My 2014 Pinterest board can be found here for a complete listing of each film.
Out of the 154 films, 116 (75%) were first time viewings, leaving only 38 (25%) as films I had seen before. That is an average I am happy with.
Month by Month breakdowns
January - 8 (5%)
February - 14 (9%)
March - 16 (10%)
April - 26 (17%)
May - 15 (10%)
June - 7 (5%)
July - 17 (11%)
August - 14 (9%)
September - 14 (9%)
October - 10 (6%)
November - 3 (2%)
December - 10 (6%)
Comparing to last year, it doesn't look like I have steady viewing habits. I look forward to seeing what 2015 has in store, for movies, as well as my personal viewing habits. I have a few shows I plan to start watching, so that may skew the numbers a bit. We shall see.
Looking back at 2014, I did a lot of franchise viewing. Theresa and I watched the first four Leprechaun movies while she was visiting, and then I tackled both Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th series this summer. I began Critters, Prom Night and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre series, which I will probably continue in the new year. Elizabeth and I tackled the Ocean's Trilogy after our trip to Vegas, and then did the complete Hobbit experience in theaters earlier this month.
