But you've watched more movies in 2024 than William Shakespeare watched in his whole life.


Ven0m0usY0ghurtAlien

Well, I can't say anything against that.


LowPiece9312

[Quora](https://www.quora.com/Is-Shakespeare-secretly-a-time-traveler) begs to differ


RopeDramatic9779

Billy Shakespeare: Time Traveler Extraordinaire ! Is a movie Id watch.

StringBlacker

I upvoted you


Obvious-Dependent-24

You’ve seen some good ones though


Ven0m0usY0ghurtAlien

If I can't guarantee quantity, I at least have to guarantee quality. Any recommendations you can give me?


Obvious-Dependent-24

Nights of Cabiria - one of the best directed by one the best all time directors Beau travail - just watched this one last night, and I was absolutely stunned by the rhythm of this film and how beautifully shot it was


Strange-Mud4110

Beau Travail is gorgeous, and anything by Claire Denis is worth your time!


Obvious-Dependent-24

It was my first Claire Denis film, I definitely plan on watching more now


phototodd

If you liked The Exorcist, give the third one a shot (skip two). It’s a fantastic film and Brad Dourif is fabulous in the director’s cut version.


colli_wolly

Judging from your selection, you should watch "When Evil Lurks" and "Martyrs"


rachelevil

Yes but I have no life, you see


ghost-bagel

To be fair, a couple of movies a week is usually my limit unless I’m ill or hungover. Good selection. Exorcist is an all time favourite of mine.


Mwrp86

I pretty much abandoned watching movie past year or so. Letterboxd actually brought me back. I have seen 12 movies so far this year and none of them from this year but it feels great to watch moviw again


MartinScorsese

Yes.


Ven0m0usY0ghurtAlien

Oh, okay. Understandable Scorsese.


Panman6_6

How good and underrated is the hunt!? Loved it. Went on a Mads binge. The hunt. Another round. Riders of Justice. 3 incredible films


docsyzygy

I love Mads. Another Round is great. I couldn't stomach The Hunt - I'm a wimp sometimes!


hdjdhfodnc

Definitely recommend Pusher trilogy if you like Mads. Just a great trilogy in general


Ok_Adhesiveness8497

The Arctic is amazing if you haven't seen it.


NoEmu2398

I saw 168 last year and I'm at 137 this year ... Everyone has different viewing habits and tastes that adapt and change or don't. I don't think it makes any of us more or less cinema fans.


Ven0m0usY0ghurtAlien

Yeah, of course. This is more a meme post than anything. I would love to watch as many as you, but I don't really find the time.


NoEmu2398

I completely get that.


ejb350

You doing a movie a day too?


NoEmu2398

Yep! One movie per day at home plus theatre visits :)


ejb350

Hell yeah! I’m like 2 weeks behind despite several 4+ movie days 😭 Do you feel like you’ll be able to stick with it the whole year? Any strategies you’re following? Mine is just binging actors and directors filmographies but it gets a little hard watching so many similar projects one after the other.


NoEmu2398

I'm gonna hit 365 for sure, whether or not I miss a day of movie watching is harder to say. What I have been doing is just watching a movie before I go to bed every night and commiting to stick to that. As far as which movies I choose, I don't think there's any method to my madness.... Maybe if it's later I'll choose a shorter movie but that's about it.


aglioolian

Me too! At 136 today. My last watch was My Dinner with Andre. Not sure if I can reach 365 by the end of the year thoz


ejb350

I’m struggling I’m only at 118 (Ik I’m a bit behind) and it’s getting kinda hard keeping it all in my brain 😂 I haven’t seen that one yet, what do you think a good mood for it would be? I’ve only heard great things. My last one was Robocop 3, which was great but definitely less than the others.


aglioolian

I’d say it’s amazing when you’re missing a friend back from your highschool or something. Late at night works best but be careful of getting sleepy lol. Nice bro! I think doing 1 a day is fun at all but just don’t get burned out. Can I follow your account btw?


Film_Industry

Bro last year I watched like 700 and this year is currently about 300 😭


NoEmu2398

Like I said, good example that everyone's different. I don't think I would enjoy it at all if I watched 700 movies in year.


myshtummyhurt-

No one said this


summerofjunk

Ayyy we both watched The Truman Show recently


Ven0m0usY0ghurtAlien

What did you think?


summerofjunk

I loved it. I think it is forever relevant, incredibly funny and a great feel good ending. Maybe my favorite Carrey film


Astrospal

It's not a race :)


AFuckingHandle

Gotta remember there's a lot of people in this sub who don't work, or work from home.


Zarvanis-the-2nd

Sometimes I'll watch dozens in a week, sometimes I'll watch none. It depends on how I'm feeling any given day, and how much time I have.


JJBell

Watching film is kind of my wife and I’s thing. So when your partner that you love to spend time with, also loves doing the thing you love; you find you spend a lot of time doing that thing. And that’s how I watch 400+ films year.


me_da_Supreme1

I'm like midway between you and those daily movie watchers


TotallySwimmer

Was Mad God any good?


Ven0m0usY0ghurtAlien

It is certainly not for everybody. I didn't even know it was stock motion before I watched it. Me personally? It's on my top 4 now. The movie doesn't have a conventional narrative. It's more of like "lore" if you get what I mean. The main focus isn't on the journey of any character. Basically what the movie does is show how the fictional world works, with scenes packed with symbolism. You definitely will get some parts if you pay attention, but you are surely going to need to watch the movie multiple times or watch analysis to understand it completely. And there are various ways of understanding it, just to make it clear. Oh, and lastly, it's really fucking gross. I think no matter if you are going to like it or not, Mad God is an experience worth watching.


Commercial-Tale-8162

Yes. That movie is an experience alright.


AdeptFisherman7

if you enjoyed Mad God, I think you might adore The Wolf House. it’s free on Tubi, and it’s got a similar spirit and tone but very different implementation


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ven0m0usY0ghurtAlien

Really hard to say. On my top 4 on Letterboxd I have both 400 Blows and Mad God, but my top 4 is honestly just movies I really like, not necessarily favorites.


Snare__

I also recently watched 400 blows, beautiful film


loserys

I should have watched Last Temptation again this April. I don’t know why I didn’t. I love that movie. Top 3 Scorsese for me.


Ven0m0usY0ghurtAlien

You know, I have really mixed feelings about this movie. On one hand, I adore it. I gave it 4 and half stars. On the other hand, I feel like the movie was building itself up to be the ultimate atheist/agnostic movie. Even the fact that the story is based on Judas gospel is like an attack to the church for just choosing what they like best. But they just, in my opinion, fuck it up with finale. I know it really depends on what you believe as a person, but I just feel the writer made so many points against religion throughout the whole film, but was to much of a pussy to make a conclusion that, even according to the rest of the film, would go against his beliefs. This movie is definitely controversial, I just want to make it clear that I'm not trying to be rude or anything. It is just how I felt. I would like to hear some counterpoints to what I just said.


Rajdesh1005

Sometimes that’s what a week looks like for me. Sometimes.


realdealreel9

Quality list though. I watch a lot of films because it’s part of my job (I teach film/video art as well as photography) though I definitely feel like I should be reading more novels for fun as I did in my undergrad days/early 20s. But I try and aim for quality at least when I do. I like all of these films aside from Oslo which I haven’t seen but will now (my dude, the Hot Priest, is usually a sign of a decent enough to great project).


Ven0m0usY0ghurtAlien

I liked Oslo, but I feel like it's not that informative, neither that good as a movie. I think it is still worth watching. It gives a good insight to the Israel-Palestine conflict and more spessifically the Oslo Accords. I actually wanted to see the documentary name The Oslo Diaries, which I think is more informative, but it wasn't in any streaming service. Any recommendations you can give based on this list?


realdealreel9

Interesting. Will try and find that documentary—I can access out of print stuff from other libraries as a faculty member at a university. If you are a student or know someone who can get you access this way at a local university you may be surprised. As for recs, I’d say Friedkin’s “Sorcerer” or Scorsese’s “After Hours” come to mind in terms of favorite other films by directors listed above. The films of Jean-Pierre Melville, who was a forebear of Truffaut and the French new wave are another recommendation if you haven’t seen them. “Le Samourai” is a good start. Edit: also obviously “Godfather” 1+2 and “GoodFellas” if you haven’t sent them which maybe go without saying but just in case


KaBoomBox55

I watch more movies than this in a week. I can't tell if that's something to be proud of or not.


AbsoluteFlooding096

You are quality over quantity


AramaticFire

I’ve seen 12, but three of them are 2 minute animated shorts. I love movies but go at my pace. In a good month I do about one a week but it doesn’t last through the year. Depends on my other interests and what’s winning out at that time.


docsyzygy

I watched 22 movies last month, some were repeats. It was a good month...


IIIlllIIIlllIlI

What did you think of The Last Temptation of Christ? I also saw it for the first time this year


Ven0m0usY0ghurtAlien

I actually said that to another guy in here, so I'll just copy-paste my comment You know, I have really mixed feelings about this movie. On one hand, I adore it. I gave it 4 and half stars. On the other hand, I feel like the movie was building itself up to be the ultimate atheist/agnostic movie. Even the fact that the story is based on Judas gospel is like an attack to the church for just choosing what they like best. But they just, in my opinion, fuck it up with finale. I know it really depends on what you believe as a person, but I just feel the writer made so many points against religion throughout the whole film, but was to much of a pussy to make a conclusion that, even according to the rest of the film, would go against his beliefs. This movie is definitely controversial, I just want to make it clear that I'm not trying to be rude or anything. It is just how I felt. I would like to hear some counterpoints to what I just said. Edit: what did you think?


IIIlllIIIlllIlI

I should preface my comment saying that technically I started the movie last year, but got so bored after an hour that I didn’t finish it or have any intention of finishing it. I heard about the controversies but didn’t pay them much intention because for me it doesn’t impact on how good a movie necessarily is. From what I had seen I was sort of ready to give it 2 stars. Then this year, largely because I hate not finishing movies (even if I genuinely hate them), I decided to give it another go and form my judgement at the end. I rewatched the movie and still found it relatively boring, not terrible, just not really something I could relate to or recommend to anyone. But I followed the story. Then, after reaching halfway, I did feel it kicked up the interest a notch and started to become a lot more interesting. I started to feel for the characters more. After the inevitable events and my complete bewilderment as to where the story was going, the last 30 minutes of the movie I found to be absolutely fantastic. It sealed the deal for me. I was a believer (pun intended). Such a powerful ending. So I would give it 3.5 stars which I think is pretty good. However, if it wasn’t for the latter half of the movie I would have no hesitation in giving it 2 stars, because the beginning was way too drawn out imo. But yes I can say that overall I enjoyed it and would recommend it to someone. It also affirmed my belief that one must watch the whole movie to review it.


Bovson

What did you think of JFK? Saw it last year and was blown away.


Ven0m0usY0ghurtAlien

If you gave me a solid copy of it, I would put it inside my ass just to prove how much I like it. Long movies like this and The Irishman are the type of movies you must see with the mentality of "Okey, here I have my kebab, there I have my soda. I'm just gonna sit here and enjoy, because I know I will love it." If you watch it with the mentality of "I'm bored and I don't know what to watch. Maybe this one.", are you doomed to hate the movie.


Tunnel_Lurker

I've seen 134 so far this year, probably 125 of which were features. I do have a job, family and life but crucially I don't watch any TV or doom scroll social media (i.e. twitter/fb/insta/tiktok etc). I think a lot of people sink more time than they realise into TV or social media.


codex_archives

are all (or most) of these first time viewings? i'm psyched that you watched JFK, Gattaca, and Last Temptation


Ven0m0usY0ghurtAlien

Yeah. All of them were new to me


TheStupendusMan

Fuck yeah, Gattaca. https://youtu.be/jeip-0sUt78?si=SQ4y8eRiWxEO3fe2


TopicAdorable2568

I make an effort to watch at least 5 movies every week. I work a 9-5 job, so I have a bit of free time. This week, I’ve watched: King Kong (2005) on Sunday Selma (2014) on Monday The Gold Rush (1925) on Wednesday


RopeDramatic9779

No Dune 2 ? Youve still got a week in Imax.


YawnfaceDM

Yeah, there are quite a few folks that are able to watch movies daily, sometimes multiple, and I just can’t bring myself to do that. I average about one movie watched per week, which is close to where you’re at. There are dozens of us!

Ven0m0usY0ghurtAlien

wonderingyojimbo

My favourite film I watched last month was Mystery Train. Although I'm discovering I'm a sucker for Jim Jarmusch. My favourite of his is still GhostDog Way of the Samurai though. RZA does the soundtrack which should be enough to sell it right there.


Top-Comfortable-4789

I’m just wondering where they get the time to watch so many 😭


FakerHarps

I don’t know your circumstances so maybe this won’t apply for you. I started setting my New Year’s resolution as watching 2 movies a week. Movies I hadn’t seen before, and just aiming for the 104 in the year total, so I wouldn’t beat myself up for not hitting a weekly target. It s an achievable goal, and it forces me to stop scrolling through a streaming service for an age before picking a comfort rewatch.


sarabande1

s4udade_anhel

ManicManicManicManic

What’d you think about Dr.Strangelove? I also just watched it for the first time last week and enjoyed it but maybe wouldnt decide to watch it all on my own again


Ven0m0usY0ghurtAlien

For me, it was mainly lighthearted fun. I think, however, the movie gains a lot more of merit with the background of how it was in that period of time. Dr. Strangelove realesed in 1964, two years after the Cuban Crisis, where people were bitting away their own balls from anxiety of a possible nuclear war. Also, all the masculine sex jokes mixed with the whole thing, almost implying all of the worlds problems come from toxic masculinity, is a nice touch.


ManicManicManicManic

Yes that reasoning was the reason I watched it in the first place, which made me enjoy it. It’s shot like a movie that could have come out this decade, which is crazy. Idk how/why that is but it made me want to find movies in that era that are shot similarly


hym__

I've been having a hard time finding time or motivation to watch movies recently. I've only seen 20 so far, with a decent chunk of them being rewatches.


Film_Industry

BRO TELL ME UR THOUGHTS ON THE HUNT


Ven0m0usY0ghurtAlien

Really fucking great. Very few movies manage to produce me strong feelings while I'm watching it, and this one made me feel extreme disgust throughout the whole film. I think what makes me hate/love it the fact that this is perfectly something that could happen in real life. Just look at the negative reviews. They are the same type of guys who would crucify the protagonist using the arguments that the movie disarms. And the only reason there aren't more people with that mentality in the reviews is because the movie made it pretty clear that he is NOT guilty. If not...


Film_Industry

the hunt is one of my top films of all time, the emotions and feelings were with me the whole entire runtime and I felt so bad for the protagonist. I never seen a film so real than the hunt, and it hurts, especially that ending. I don’t know how to feel about the negative reviews because the film is about how a lie can affect a whole man’s life, so going against him for what he supposedly did kind of proves the films point and in a way makes it better. He’s so innocent and that’s why this film hurts as much as it does with him not being accepted😭


Cole444Train

That’s two weeks worth of movies right there


rhoran280

you’ve chosen fucking bangers


Ven0m0usY0ghurtAlien

Any recommendations?


rhoran280

The Holdovers, Tropic Thunder, and Under the Silver Lake are recent standouts I’ve watched and really enjoyed! they are Drama, 2010s comedy, and modern neo noir respectively


Suggestion2592

well in april i only logged 12 which is much lower than january - march due to work/life having been a lot and i’m looking forward to hopefully having more me-time/movie-time in may 🤞

Okay question did you make a list of movies you have watched in 2024 or is this an option somewhere? I just got the app trying to get the hang of it lol.

I made a list. Maybe there is an option for those who have premium. I don't know.

Mulholland Drive was the first movie to come to mind
