I started a project this summer of watching 100... or probably 90 films before the 1st of September. The goal being mostly films I'd never seen and have wanted to see, whether it be because of "critical acclaim" or I just missed it when it came out. At the moment I'm at 49, so considering that I'm around 2/3rds of the done with the summer, I probably won't finish with 100. I might even be forgetting to put some on the list, but I'm not sure. This doesn't include movies that I've rewatched in this time (such as Muppet Treasure Island-don't judge, it's amazing). For funsies, I figured I'd list off what I've seen so far. Most are on DVD, some in theatres. And despite how I'd rather forget some of them (i.e. My Sassy Girl) I'll list everything and bow my head in shame. You'll probably notice a pattern of actors, directors and subjects. The biggest theme would definitely be period pieces between the 19th century and mid 20th century and Danish, German and French films. The smallest genre, comedies.
