Project 365: A Year of Movies



I mentioned in my New Years post that I wanted to write more about movies. It goes beyond that really, because the truth is I want to watch more movies, too. I used to make more time for sitting down and enjoying a film every other night, but for the past few years, I forced myself to not to that. Like somehow it meant I wasn't having fun or getting out there to experience life.

OK, maybe that's kind of true.

This year, though, I want to challenge myself again. Get better at writing and talking about movies. Many photographers challenge themselves to complete a Project 365, and share a picture a day. I'm going to tweak that challenge a little bit. A huge undertaking, but I want to see 365 movies this year. Here are the rules I'm setting for myself:
  • Movies can be new or old
  • Movies can be ones I've seen before
  • Movies can only be counted on this list once
This will be a difficult task, but I'm confident that I can share, on a weekly basis, some incredible (and maybe not so incredible) movies with you all. I want to expand my horizons and use this as a chance to watch films I wouldn't have seen otherwise.

Do you think I can do it? Yeah, I'm not sure, either. Even if it takes more than a year, I want to give it a go and post quick recaps of movies I see until I reach 365. It is just for fun, after all. :)

  1. I have faith in you! I feel like I need to be doing a similar challenge with books. Jonathan and I are committed to seeing more movies too, because we have been terrible these last several years. We are actually on our way to see The Hobbit right now!! :)
