My experience so far

Well, I'm only three movies in and I've already seen one that I hated. What a miserable experience it was watching The Getaway. It's a relief to know that I like the next few movies I'm going to watch. At least, I think I do. I haven't seen Deep Impact since it came out. Maybe it sucks. And I hope knowing how awful the last Indiana Jones movie was won't destroy my enjoyment of Temple of Doom. We'll see.

So far, this has been fun. The hardest part is stopping myself from watching more than one movie a day. I know if I start that I'll get sick of watching movies and will stop doing it. It seems that I was right in that writing a review for each movie is a great motivator. I haven't felt like watching movies this much in a long time.

I'm now trying to psych myself up to watch Sleepers in a few days. I didn't care for a lot of the traumatic events that occur in the film. I haven't wanted to watch it since I saw it in the theater with my husband. It's one of the rare films in the collection that was not bought for me. The only thing that's keeping me going is the hope that it might make for a very interesting review.

I actually picked every single one of the films on the list this month by random. I separated out my master list of unopened DVDs by category in stacks, calculated how many I need to watch a month to get through each of the categories by the deadline, and then picked the needed amount from the middle of each of the stacks. Well, technically some of the categories like drama had several stacks. I do have more than 350 DVDs to watch after all. I think I might go through the movies and pick the ones I know I don't like, and make sure to watch a couple of those a month. I would rather spread them out than be miserable watching a lot of movies I don't like in the course of a single month.
