The movies I have watched in the last few years have included mostly Star Wars, The Matrix and Star Trek. I have watched all of those movies so many times that I know exactly what the actors are going to say before they say it.

I need to watch a variety of movies for a few reasons. The first reason is that I often hear other people comparing situations in real life to something they have seen in a movie and I feel left out not knowing what they are talking about. Most people would have you believe that movies offer no educational value at all but I have found that they introduce you to concepts that you might want to research further.

I have decided on 50 because it works out to around 1 movie a week. I can’t watch movies every day of the week because I have to work and study so 1 a week seems reasonable. 16 months ago
