EWB Film Challenge

[The Red Reuben]

I remember some people on EWB doing a "365 film in 365 days" challenge a few years ago, and I'm looking to do something similar, whilst not waiting for New Year's and stuff. 

Is there anyone on here who would be up for giving it a go?

[Your Mom]

I started it before and I was thinking about doing it again just to keep track of what I've been watching so I probably would

[Benjamin]

I'd completely be up for it, did it twice in 2013 and 2014, been trying to do it ever since again, but just don't have the time. This year I'm only at 153, but starting on a particular date and going 365 would be fun again.

On 181 features so far this year, which means I won't hit 365, as per every year. 

[Your Mom]

Has anyone actually done it? It seems pretty ambitious. I think I got to like 200 the first year we did it

[Monkey D. Lars]

I did it for like 5 years in a row. With 3 of them hitting 400 or more. But this year I won't make it. Haven't watched a film in almost a month.

Yo.

A lot of them were Scooby Doo TV movies

[The Red Reuben]

Had no time to watch films Mo/Tu/We/Th, but catching up. Hoping to watch two tomorrow.

I did it in like 9 months.

I had very little else going on in my life, mind.  

[The Red Reuben]

Adding The Expendables 1 & 2 to my list. Lots of fun.

[The Red Reuben]

Just finished Good Will Hunting (1997). Absolutely one of my all-time favourites now. I was always afraid it wouldn't live up to the hype, but oh my goodness, it surpassed anything I was expecting. This is why I love watching movies.

[The Red Reuben]

Two hours later, but add Expendables 3 to my list. Weakest of the three, but I don't think it's as bad as some people make it out to be. To avoid my fourth post in a row, I'll make note here that the fiancee and I will be watching Little Mermaid tonight. First time in a long time I've watched four films in a day.

Wonderful movie and great performances by everybody, especially the late great Robin Williams.

We actually had started one for this year, I started off well and was over a film a day but as the years gone on I've not been able to keep up. Think I'm at around 140 for the year to date so far which isn't bad but will fall some way short.

[ruderrocket]

Started a 365 movies challenge at the start of the year, but haven't really been able to keep at it. I'm at 147 right now. I have a soft goal of hitting 200 before the year ends, but at this point, I'm not all too fussed about reaching that number.

Finally watched Airplane! (1980). Absolutely amazing. I laughed so much. So much creativity.

[The Red Reuben]

I'm fairly close to a 1:1 ratio, and I'm hoping to be able to actually get there by the upcoming weekend. This has been a lot of fun.
