During High School I almost never watched movies. I had few friends and I felt weird watching movies alone. When I entered college, it seemed as if all I heard from my friends was "What do you mean you've never seen ____???!!!" So I made a list, and resolved to see one per week. I didn't keep up with this resolution, but I did manage to see about 20 movies from the original list. This year, I'm serious. Once per week I'll sit down, watch a movie, tell my excuse for not having seen it, then review it. And what type of tea you should drink while seeing it.
Now, here's the list, and movies I saw last year. Every other month I'll edit this post to reflect what I have and haven't seen.
I plan on seeing a movie every Sunday or Saturday and updating this every Monday while I work at the library, unless if it's actually busy (it almost never is).
