Near the end of 2024 I went to see the film Gladiator II with Jack. After viewing and rating the movie on IMDb and Letterbox, I discovered it was my 3,000 film to view and rate. Since that time without really being too motivated, I have watched a little over 100 movies. Although I've gone through all of the classics in film history and my movie watching frequency has certainly declined since having children, I have decided to impose a goal for myself that probably isn't attainable.
I am currently 45 years old and in those years I've watched about 3,100 films. My improbable goal is to hit 4,000 movies by the time I turn 50. I only average about 68 movies per year, so in reality I will be lucky to hit 3,500 by my 50th birthday. However, with a little motivation and a lot of time invested toward new movies, no matter how disinteresting they may look, I can possibly hit the 4,000 mark by August 9, 2030.
If my math is correct, I am going to have to watch one new movie every other day. Working from home definitely makes this achievable, but likely impossible. We'll see how close I get, but the work is going to be fun to say the least.
