148 Films In The Last 365 Days: Movie Viewing List 2008
I watch an incredible number of films each year. I watch one almost every other day.
Because I watch so many films, I thought it would be fun to share with you a list of the 148 films I watched this year. Some of the films were great, others were a bit disappointing, and way too many were just plain stupid. As I look back on this list, I can’t believe all the crap I’ve subjected myself to this year. The list includes a number of superhero movies and sequels to superhero movies; poorly done comedies; and horror movies that didn’t even scare me in the least. That being said, there were some good films this year and in a subsequent post I’ll share my favorites with you.
For those who want to know how I watched so many films and how I can remember all the films I’ve seen this year, here is how I did it.
I subscribe to Blockbuster’s Total Access subscription plan. With this plan, I have three DVD’s being sent to me in the mail on a perpetual basis. I drop a DVD in the mail and two days later I get a new one delivered to me through the mail. And when, on occasion, I quickly run through all the films in my inventory, I can just ride down to my local Blockbuster video store and get some more (something you can’t do when you subscribe to Netflixbecause they have no local stores to do exchanges with). I was able to keep track of all the films I watched this year because the Blockbuster website keeps track of my viewing history for me!
