Obviously in October, I came to realize the difficulty of watching the movies and blogging about them. Time was not in my favor. So I figured I would continue with the viewings and blog in 2014. With that being said, I did miss the mark by a few movies, watching 320 in 2013 including 309 that I had previously missed. "Schindler's List" finished out the year (maybe not an upbeat movie to end the year, but I also watched "Sophie's Choice" on Christmas Ever). I hit the milestones with classic picks, choosing "2001: A Space Odyssey" as movie #200 and "Apocalypse Now" as movie #300.
Most of the bad choices came as a result of films released this year. "A Good Day to Die Hard" and "After Earth" were bad, but I would go with "Getaway" as the worst, new movie of this year. There were also a few classics that I didn't understand the appeal, like "Breakfast at Tiffany's". To balance that, I discovered a few, previously unknown gems; some by recommendation, others by pure luck.
I think the biggest disappointment was not missing the projected number, but the number of films I still want to see. Watching one film would lead to a couple others that I hadn't seen and I probably could have continued this for several more years. Here's hoping that I'll maintain the blog until I'm finished, posting all 320 entries. Thanks everyone for reading.
