365 Movies in 365 Days
One of my goals for the year is to watch (and analyze and and rate) 365 movies.
I'm on track, at around 70 so far, but there's a long way to go. It's been an interesting experience. Been pleasantly surprised by almost all of the movies I've watched so far. Some duds, but I've been able to get something from almost all of them. As an avid reader, most of my fun goals in past years have involved reading. A couple years ago it was to read every word of the Bible in 365 days (how could any avid reader not read what is undoubtedly the single most influential book in human history?). Doing a careful read, that was fairly challenging, at least through many parts of the Old Testament. But worthwhile. Anyways, I'm armed with Netflix, Prime Movies, Youtube TV and others, so any suggestions are appreciated! |

Get a Firestick and download an app called Cinema. The selection is near endless. I watch a movie almost every day and I am not even trying.

I prefer to watch movies that are not the 'latest'. Not sure how you would go about finding these though.
Avanti! - Critics say it can be a little slow, but I think overall a nice movie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avanti! Le Samouraļ - Old French neo-noir crime film https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Samoura%C3%AF Any of Akira Kurosawa's films Wong Kar-wai has some weird stuff Contact Gattaca These are just off the top of my head.
