I counted feature-length tv movies and documentary films in this list, but not films I had already seen before. This count is slightly inaccurate as I decided to do this once the year had already begun. Therefore, I may have actually reached this goal. This isn’t in order either. Parts of it are, but sometimes I remembered that I watched a film ages ago but hadn’t written it down so put it down then. e.g. “Princess Mononoke” I watched earlier in the year, but only remembered it yesterday when reading the tv guide and seeing it mentioned.

1. Kill Bill 2
2. Vera Drake
3. Spiderman 3
4. Pitch Black (although I was reading at the same time…erm…)

Well I managed the full 50 films but I must admit it was a push at the end to reach the full 50 and I have cheated slightly because a few of the last ones were more on in the background rather than sitting down and paying full attention to them!

Out of the 50 watched in 2007:

• 25 of them were at the cinema
• 17 were on DVD
• 7 were on TV
• 1 was on a plane!

• 37 were new films I’d never seen before
• 13 were repeats of films I’d seen in the past

I’m not going to set myself the challenge for next year but I am going to try and see more films at the cinema.

31/12/2007 – TV

31/12/2007 – DVD

Well, with only 34 movies watched it looks like I am not going to be able to complete this goal. I can do it in 2008, though!
