Final Comments:
Although i'm happy with my monthly rankings, I feel like some movies were hindered simply because I had seen them before (with the obvious exception of WALL-E) Movies like Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter probably would have done better if I was viewing them for the first time.
And also I feel some months were stronger than others, and a movie that came second or third in one month, would've come first in another month, Pulp Fiction or Fight Club for example
There are still quite a few movies I didn't get to which i'm disappointed about. If our Internet hadn't gone down the crapper on multiple occasions I wouldn't have had to watch the Twilight Series on DVD (thanks mum...) But hey, at least I skipped Breaking Dawn Part 1 and went straight to Part 2 because I do have some standards. But usually multiple re-watches in a short period of time was the times our Internet was dead.
Only 3 movies nearly brought me to tears this year: Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, Perks of Being a Wallflower and Grave of the Fireflies...Grave of the Fireflies made those other 2 look like comedies by comparison. Took ages after watching it before I could even talk about it without getting choked up.
I also learnt I don't have a specific genre that I like more than others. Going into 2018, if you had asked me what my favourite genre was I would have said sci-fi/fantasy. Now i'm open to pretty much anything.
Overall: I'm happy that I managed to accomplish this, but man i'd never do it again. The stress of not thinking I was not going to be able to do it on a few occasions was tough. But i'm happy with how many movies I have seen now.
Thanks for reading!

That's a fine piece of cake you got there!
The cake is a lie.

Of course that exists.
What were the worst movies out of that list?
Well twilight was on there in bold which means they chose to watch it twice ???
Maybe he watched it with RiffTrax.
'9' was horrible for me. I was really looking forward to it, an animation with a dark story and interesting premise! Hell yeah! And the opening 10 or so minutes were awesome, there was a pretty heavy shot of a mother cradling her dead baby.
It was straight down hill after that, all the characters were bland, the only character that was remotely interesting was '1'. The plot was just "Oh, we need something over there. Oh no! There's something evil blocking the thing we need" rinse and repeat. Very disappointing.
Anomalisa was also pretty disappointing too, was shocked at the 92% rotten tomatoes rating. Maybe I missed something about it.
What didn't you like about Anomalisa out of interest?
I just couldn't get into it from start to finish. I think the main character was the issue, I found him to be pushy and a bit of a creep if i'm honest. He asks a young woman he's just met if he can kiss her gnarly eye scar?! Then, after their night together he just comes across as straight up unlikable, especially the breakfast scene.
It's fair enough, although that is most definitely the point of the film. He's not at all likeable, and I quite like that the film posits him as a desperate, lonely romantic only to show that he's actually a raging narcissist and the reason he only hears one voice is because he turns everyone against himself.
How did you find time every day for this?
Some days were tougher than others. So days where I was busy, I would find shorter films. "My life as a Zucchini" for example only goes for just over an hour, so that helps.
Most people have 2 hours of free time at some point in the day. He chose to use that time watching movies.
It's just 2 hours every day. Not that hard to find time for if you're really committed. I used to read 5 hours every night (7 to 12pm).
12pm is noon. I was very confused thinking you meant every morning you woke up and read for 5 hours straight away like some kinda maniac.
What do you do right before going to bed for example? I think taking like 2 hours in the evening/at night for a movie is realistically doable by pretty much anyone tbh
Is that by choice or for a job, i understand that there are edge cases obviously but even you say that you would be there for 4-5 days which is over halfway there already right.
I still think that "pretty much anyone" could make it work.
Yeah if you have a wife and kids and a full time job have fun getting divorced lol.
Having a family, a job, or a social life are not edge cases lol
You really think it's an edge case to not have 2 hours every single night to watch a movie?
I think taking like 2 hours in the evening/at night for a movie is realistically doable by pretty much anyone tbh
There are literally millions of us without that kind of time. The list of varied reasons is way to long to attempt. I don't think you deserved to be downvoted for this opinion.
Sure and i didn't say that absolutely everybody could make it work, maybe "pretty much anyone" is a little too optimistic as well. But i also think that a lot of people who would say "wow how did you manage to find the time" simply do something else in their free time, which is a choice.
Millions of us don't have that kind of free time to chose to do much of anything. I work very hard everyday (construction), and am usually asleep by 8 o'clock.
I think your last sentence applies to some people, just not as many as you stated, which you admitted to, so it's cool.
If it wasn't gonna rain hard tomorrow, I'd be out like a light. I know I'm off because of it, so now I have time. Think I'll watch a movie, lol!
Like work. School. Homework. Family. Exercise. Cook. Clean. Read. ADL’s. Spend time with friends. Continuing education. Get sick. Take care of others. Etc.
I understand being able to a lot of days. But every single day of the year is just wow to me. Yes people make choices I’m just wondering what things OP put to the sidelines to make this happen? Wasn’t a judgment involved with my original comment. Just some amazement and curiosity.
tonight was work until 6. gym until 830, working from home until i pass out with a few breaks for the internet-- like right now as i make a cup of tea. that's basically every weeknight. replace gym with chores and errands as needed. you only get to do one thing each night. sometimes it's errands, sometimes it's cooking dinner, sometimes it's exercise.
^ found the guy who's unemployed
Man people are really salty about this comment aren't they.
I am sure you work all day and have absolutely 0 freetime and anyone who has 2 hours a day to do anything but work is unemployed. Nice logic there.
Yah God forbid any of us not be busy 100% of the time. Lmao it's a bizarre response you got
I love seeing this. I did this back in 2015 and that was a blast! Watched over 400 movies I'd never seen before.
Attempted it again in 2018 with only success until March. Starting it again this year, so far so good.
Great work!!
How has it gone so far?
How could you go through 2018 without having seen Death of Stalin? You're a monster.
I loved that movie. Went to see it with my SO and I'm pretty sure we were the only young people in the audience though lol
Or Sorry To Bother You? Or Spider-Verse? This was such a good year for movies!
Well have to keep some for 2019 I guess. With one movie a day, I assume he watch most of those at home anyway so he can wait.
I’m surprised by the movies you hadn’t seen prior to this. How did you go about picking what movies to watch and how did you watch them?
That's one of the main reasons I wanted to do it, so many classics I hadn't seen! Sometimes I would plan in advance what I was going to watch on certain days, especially when I was planning around work/uni etc. Other days it was just browsing streaming services until I found something that took my fancy.
What was the most surprising of the ones you hadn't seen before (or, at least one of the most surprising)?
I could not believe how well 'Psycho' held up. The brilliant music and fantastic performance by Anthony Perkins, wow!
Ten Commandments was another surprise, nearly 4 hours and a story that Prince of Egypt already nailed, I thought it could go either way. But man, talk about epic!
I'm just impressed you watched the Ten Commandments in one sitting. Holy hell that movie is long! But yeah, it does hold up pretty well if you ignore all the crazy anachronisms.
I am a movie lover but still would not be able to do this.
How did Paddington 2 rank higher than The Godfather?!
I guess I got to see paddington 2
Maybe he meant Godfather III.
Nah, nevermind. Nobody would waste time watching that dumpster fire.
How do you NOT watch Independence Day on July 4th?
Hell ya, thanks for the work you put into it and sharing it
How did you like Cloud Atlas?
I enjoyed it enough, I feel like i'd have to watch it a few times though to fully pick up on everything. The make-up was top notch though! When the credits were rolling and it showed who everyone played there were some that shocked me.
Read the book, it makes things much more clear. The transitions between stories were not handled well in the movie but are great in the book. It really ties everything together.
Thanks for the advice! Will do :)
I have recommended this movie to my friend this Christmas saying it is not perfect. Precisely the transitions were too abrupt imo, they don't leave any time to breath, to analyse what just happened.
However, that might be also what's so original about it, it's like an experience, like learning to walk or to talk, last time I felt this sensation was when I have been reading A Clockwork Orange. I remember leaving the cinema wanting to repeat instantly to look into the details. Then I thought it might be a better idea to wait for some sort of a director's cut...
Damn, it really needed to be 30-60 minutes longer...
The transitions weren't only abrupt, they were not explained at all. I was so confused when I watched the movie and thought it was just 6 mostly unrelated short stories. But reading the book really brought out the brilliance of the 6 stories when told together.
You didn’t watch Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
Considering a movie is 2 hours on average
2hrs/24hrs = 1/12
1/12 * 365 days = 1 month
You spent one month of the year just watching movies
Respect
Would have been more consistent to write 1/12 * 12 months
Also just 1/12 of each day is automatically 1/12 of the full year, no need for a calculation
Wow! Congrats on achieving your goal!
I watched a movie every day in December & I was sooo burnt out, so I could never see myself doing this. haha
7. Se7en
I see what you did there
I don't. Watching on Christmas Eve, no less.
EDIT: No seriously. Would somebody please explain how "1. Se7en" is a joke of some kind?
he ranked se7en seventh...
Ah. I saw OP ranked it #1 for its month, but I see mkonich meant to be referring to the Ultimate Top 12 despite the "1." in his comment. Thanks for explaining.
Funnily enough, this is my 2019 resolution! So far I’ve watched Poppins 2, Unbreakable and A Quiet Place. Seeing you do it gives me hope!
I'm doing something similar right now with 2 friends. We're watching the highest grossing film for each month starting in June 1994 (my birth month) to May 2019 (month before my 25th birthday) for a total of 300 movies. We started watching way back in May 2017 but since August 2018 we've been posting discussion/reviews here. Today our discussion went up for the 2006 Pink Panther movie (spoilers: it sucks), and in terms of watching the films we're on October 2013.
There are obviously a LOT of bad movies but there have been several quite good ones that I'm very glad I saw that I probably wouldn't have seen otherwise.
