Film List 2020

Films I’ve Seen 2020: Films 91-100

I rounded out the year watching my one hundredth new-to-me film. I think for pretty much everyone (maybe except Jeff Bezos) this year has been less then great. One thing that kind of helped, if even only a little bit, was tracking the films I’ve seen, and keeping a look-out for different ones to try…

Films I’ve seen 2020: Films 81-90

Since my last post, we’ve breezed through the traditional period of horror films – though these are an all-year-round inclusion for me now – moving firmly into Christmas film time, which is my favourite time to watch all my Christmas favourites. I rarely try new Christmas films – or new to me, like this whole…

Films I’ve seen 2020: Films 71-80

Again, it’s been a while. I haven’t been making time for films, books, and other things I like right now, which is sad, so I’m going to prioritise these going forward. Reduce screen time for other things, and instead do things I want. I was going to write ‘watch films that make me happy’, but…

Films I’ve Seen 2020: Films 51-60

It’s been a while since I posted. After getting into a good rhythm of writing a scheduling posts, I eventually caught up with myself, so I tried to set myself a target of watching films each week/fortnight to maintain some kind of schedule. But these past few months have been a bit of a struggle,…

Films I’ve seen 2020: Films 41-50

These were watched over a couple of weeks, going into my 6th week of working from home and staying away from other people. Some days I didn’t watch any films, then I’d watch 3 in a day. I’m feeling incredibly fortunate to still be able to work, but being able to put a film on…

Films I’ve seen 2020: Films 31-40

All of these have been watched via Netflix, Amazon Prime, or even good old DVD. Films are first and foremost entertainment, a form of escapism, so I’m mostly of the belief that you should just watch what you want to watch, and if that means you only watch certain genres, then that’s fine. But there’s…

Films I’ve seen 2020: Films 21-30

I think even as I saw these films, I was aware there were a few period dramas in a relatively short space of time. They are my one true love. Anything that’s created with the intention of setting it at some point in the past, no matter how long ago that was. I saw three…

Films I’ve seen 2020: Films 11-20

The next 10 films are slightly more eclectic, and I think from 14 onwards we now get into the order that I actually watched these films, and also the second cinema trip of the year (the first was to see Frozen 2). 11. The Shining (1980) Continuing my plan to watch more horror, The Shining…

Films I’ve seen 2020: Films 1-10

So the first 10 films I have on my list are not in watch order, and they’re all a bit jumbled, as I only really started listing them a few weeks after I started this film binge. It won’t really look like it from this list, but I did decide I’d start to watch more…

Films I’ve seen 2020 – a preface

In the quaint time of December 2019, before social distancing was common practice and I had never come across the word ‘furlough’, I decided a loose list of New Year’s resolutions. I’ve tried setting these before – and have written them on here to try and hold me accountable (spoiler: it didn’t) – and it…
