For the EIGHTH year in a row, I’m keeping track of all the movies I’ve watched for the first time. Just like the past couple years, I’ll be attempting to ensure that at least 20% of the movies I see are 20+ years old. I also have a list of films that I’m challenging myself to see, though in past years when I’ve done that, I’ve only made it through a portion of the list so if you see something on there that you can absolutely recommend, let me know!
Another difference from last year is that I’ll also be tracking the full seasons I watch of television shows. Those will be tracked separately, but they deserve to be counted as well.
