Finally watch The Apartment next Christmas after 3 years of trying.
Yeah I didn’t have a set rule but I was never keen on a rewatch until lockdown. We did themed months so I saw a lot of classic action or horror films again cos my flatmate hadn’t seen them … and I loved it.
Turns out if a film is good you can probably justify seeing it once every 5 years, shocker
I’m aiming to get back into watching movies this year. Started with signing myself up to Letterboxd and buying a cheap all region dvd player so can finally watch my little collection I shipped over here 8 years ago. Eyeing up a new TV too.
Watching goals:
Stars Wars - in timeline order, including the TV series but not the anime stuff.
Catch up on the last 3 Wes Anderson movies.
Rewatch the Indiana Jones set.
Flip between watching an old film and then a new* one. *last five years
Go to the cinema! Haven’t been to a proper cinema since before COVID times. I did go to the local theatre in 2022 to watch Casablanca.
