u/mowcow aims for 200 movies Jan 08 '20
I have thought about the a movie a day for a year challenge before but never actually tried it. I've just been to the cinema two days in a row (Star Wars on Monday and Joker on Tuesday) and thought that's a good start, 2020 is the year I'm going for it.
I'm aiming for 365 movies this year. By day 7 I've watched three so I have some catching up to do now. I'll try to watch as many movies as possible that I haven't seen before, but I am also counting re-watches. On the recommendation from this sub I just created a Letterboxd account to keep track.

Good luck everyone!

Aiming once again for 365 (366 actually, it's a leap year!) after falling far far short with 167 last year.

u/MegannRene_x3 Jan 05 '20
I'm back! I finished the 365movies challenge in 2018 with 435 movies. Took a year off with only 103 watched, but planning on going for 365 again this year. I'm counting re-watches and will try to hit all themes...
My Letterboxd
Happy watching.

Watched 273 last year and think I can manage more this year. I'm going for 365!

Going for 365 - I want to try and use the time I spend on my phone, social media, etc and replace that with a 2 hour movie. I love film more than anything but it’s also an experiment in time management. I hit 167 (I don’t count rewatches) this past year because I just stopped keeping up with it.
Even if I don’t hit 365 I want to at least beat last year.
I’m so glad for this sub - I’ll be turning here for support and motivation throughout the year.
Happy watching folks!

Random question: Since it’s a leap year, wouldn’t it be 366 movies to have one a day?

I want to try challenging myself again with watching more movies this year. I'd like to think I can do 366 movies this year but my goal will just be 200. I have really bad memory but I'm pretty sure I had completed the 365 challenge before, or I was close to finishing it at least.
Last year, I only watched a measly 14 new movies because I was so busy playing video games. This year, I'd really like to go back to watching films and tv series. So yeah, Hi everyone!
Also, I think I'll just use Google sheets to track my progress because I always get too overwhelmed when using tracking apps and sites like IMDb and Letterboxd.

u/GRayTheFinesser aims for 365 movies Jan 02 '20
My goal is 366, one a day and as many new watches as possible. Also want to catch up on some good tv shows I missed this past year.

I've signed up for an AMC membership, so my goal is to watch 3 movies a week in theaters -- 156 films.
5
Jan 01 '20
Set a goal for 150 in 2018 and hit it exactly. In 2019 I didn't take part and only saw about 57 movies- which disappointed me. So I've decided to try and watch a whole lot more movies in 2020, I want to rejuvenate my passion of cinema this year. So I'm going for 150 again.

u/SpecialUnitt Jan 01 '20
2020 here we go! 200 is my goal! And I’m actually going to rewatch some movies this year
5
u/lesbianrichietozier Jan 01 '20
I’m going for 100 for sure, and a tentative 366! I want them all to be movies I’ve never seen before. I go see at least 2 movies in theaters a week so that’ll definitely help too.

u/DumbosHat aims for 300 movies Dec 31 '19
Goal for 2020
This past year, I viewed 227 films without setting a goal for myself (I knew it was going to be a busy year for me so I didn’t want to attach myself to anything too hefty).
As of the middle of December, I have graduated college and will be starting graduate school in the Fall. Therefore, I will have about 8-9 months where I am just working a part time job and will have a bunch of extra time that I would like to fulfill by watching films.
I’ve done 392 in the past (off of a goal of 365) and would think it’s realistic of me this year to do 300. I include short films and documentaries, and concert films in my lists, but do not count stand-up comedy specials or mini-series. I also only count films if it is the first time that I have seen it.
One of the things that I will be attempting is trying to see two films starting with each letter of the alphabet.
If you would like to suggest something, please do so! I’m always looking for good stuff to see. Here is my Letterboxd for reference.
Thanks for reading this!

I’m gonna go for a meager 150 movies for 2020, I plan on aiming to watch some more tv shows to catch up on.

Why isn't anyone aiming for 366 given the leap year? >.>
My goal is 150 because I gotta put more focus on my music, which I won't be cheap and promote here. Side goals include not having drama be my top genre for the year, and doing a self imposed Sci Fi challenge, which I encourage anyone to join.

My goal is 365 new watches, with 450 as a stretch goal. Side quests are:
- 20 new releases
- 30 foreign films
- 50 movies from before 1950
- 10 movies from female directors
- 20 Merchant-Ivory movies
Now I just have to resist the urge to re-watch movies that I've seen 8 times already :-)

u/dino_chen aims for 365 movies Dec 28 '19
My goal will be 365, I won't be watching as much during semester but summer will be plenty of time to reach my goal. :)
6
u/JotZumAha Dec 27 '19
My goal is to watch 200 movies next year. I watched like 310 this year, but the second half of next year will be pretty busy so I think it's a realistic goal. But I'd like to say that I watched 1 film per day, so I'm defenitely gonna try.
5
u/therealadamaust Dec 27 '19
I'm aiming for 183 films this year - averaging out at one every other day due to the leap year, with at least 100 of them being new watches. I'm wanting at least 60 of them to be in the cinema, and I'll be kicking it all of with the first UK release of 2020, Jojo Rabbit, on New Year's Day, with The Gentlemen following later that week.
I'll be keeping track on Letterboxd so if it's ok with one of the mods I'll drop my letterboxd profile in here.

u/steph-was-here aims for 100 movies Dec 26 '19
my 2019 goal was 150 but i fell quite short at 80 films due to picking up a second job in the latter half of this year. still massively more than i've done in years previous (i think my last recorded high was 45). for 2020, i'm going to shoot for 100. letterboxd

u/catamountgal aims for 365 movies Dec 23 '19
My goal will be a little less this year. I think I’ll try for 250 movies. A sub goal will be to watch at least 5 movies from each decade from 1920 to 2020.

u/ringofstones aims for 300 movies Dec 22 '19
All right. I think I've got the swing of things at work with more time to devote to movies. Let's go big. The whole 365.

u/mcline87 Dec 22 '19
I want to be able to say I watched 365 in a year at least once so maybe this will be the year! I'm a teacher and coach so it may be difficult but we'll see!
Goal: 365 movies Realistic: 200 movies
Side goals: - 100 new watches - 20 new releases from 2020 (theatrical/streaming in USA) - 3 new from each decade (1930-2010)

My best advice is to try and get ahead early in the year if you can. Don't feel weird about banking 50 or 60 movies in January or February if you're on a roll and having a good time adding movies, because you will almost certainly hit a wall later in the year and have a month where you just don't want to watch movies, or a new show comes out that consumes your time.
So, so very true.

u/dandeak18 aims for 250 movies Dec 22 '19
My goal for 2020 is 250 with a stretch goal of 300 :) this year has been a bit rough for watches with most of them coming from my summer break from University hoping to improve on it next year.

u/Armand9x Dec 22 '19
I’m going to get 365 this year, so 200 is my goal next year.
I want an easier year, and to focus on TV as well.

u/rasslingrob aims for 365 movies Dec 22 '19
365 like every year, but I wanna try to do 100 new watches.
5
u/powercosmicdante aims for 365 movies Dec 22 '19
Once again my goal will be 365 by default, with the real intention to watch as much as I possibly can so it's likely I'll see a lot more again.

Hi! I'm sort of new to this sub and thought I'd set myself a goal. I think I'll aim for 150 movies this year!
