365 Day Movie Challenge: 2019

Here we are on December 31, so it’s time to go over my list of the films I watched in 2019. I didn’t watch as much as I hoped – the total count is 263 titles – but I tried my best to expand my cinematic knowledge as best as I could. In addition, I’ve added the list of films I’ve seen this year that were directed by women, as well as the results of another fun thing I did called the Watch Four Films Challenge. Enjoy!

365 Day Movie Challenge: 2016

Another year, another list of movies that I have seen. I am thrilled to report that I saw 385 films in 2016, titles that I had either never seen or had not seen in a long enough time that viewing with a fresh perspective was in order. In choosing representative images and GIFs from some of these films, I thought about light, shadow, mirrors, faces, bodies, motion, uses of cinematic space, examples of typography and ruminations on the nature of moviegoing – many of the reasons why we, the happy spectators, keep our eyes open and pay attention.
