As we start off 2016, I like to take a look back at my movie watching for the past year and turn it into statistics. I enjoy looking back and seeing what month was most prosperous, and where I feel off track.
Compared to previous years, 2015 was bad. I only watched 96 movies, which is probably an all-time low for me. A few changes took place in my life though, and I had to learn to manage time better, and it was movie watching that took the biggest hit. I have high hopes though for 2016, so as I look back on the past year, I will not dwell upon it.
First off, my 2015 movie diary can be found here. Letterboxd took over for Pinterest, and I believe it was for the best.
Out of the 96 movies, 63 (66%) were first time viewings, leaving 33 (34%) as movies I had seen before, I'm happy with this, but is down from last year.
Month by Month Breakdowns
January - 12 (13%)
February - 7 (7%)
March - 6 (6%)
April - 6 (6%)
May - 5 (5%)
June - 10 (11%)
July - 8 (8%)
August - 17 (18%)
September - 2 (25)
October - 5 (5%)
November - 4 (4%)
December 14 (15%)
No real steady viewing habits it seems.
Film highlights of 2015 include:
Theatrical: Mad Max: Fury Road, Jurassic World, Inside Out, Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, Star Wars: The Force Awakens
First time Viewing: The Descent, The Guest, John Wick, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Zodiac, Motel Hell
Repeat Viewing: Groundhog Day (On Feb 2), The Poseidon Adventure, Watching Back to the Future trilogy on 10-21, Introducing Elizabeth to the original Star Wars trilogy
I'm already ahead of 2015, as I went and saw The Hateful Eight this afternoon with Dave. My first movie of 2015 was on January 13th, so that is a plus in my book. I'm hoping to blog a lot more this coming year as well.
A plan for movies, I'm not really sure. I'm hoping to watch at least 2-3 movies a week, and knock some stuff off of my "To Be Watched" list. But I'm setting no goals, nor making any promises. I will make the best of 2016 though.
