In the past years I’ve been trying to spend less time watching movies. In 2021 I saw 187 movies, in 2022 I saw 143 movies, and last year in 2023 I saw 103 movies. This year in 2024, I saw less. At least I thought I did until I did the math. One Hundred and Four. 104! One more than the previous year?! In a year where there were more movies I wouldn’t mind seeing, but didn’t have the motivation or urge to actually drive out to see it, or to put aside some time to watch it on a streaming service, I still ended up (relatively) watching a lot of movies still.
Since I stopped writing movie reviews on this website, I’m once again just going to list them all here for you to see. Admittedly I don’t feel too comfortable on where several of these movies rank on the list, and I’m pretty sure you might have strong disagreements on where some of them are. Either way here’s the list of movies from 2024 I've seen.

I’m thinking in 2025 I’ll be finally use Letterboxd to track the films I saw. I’m also thinking that in the new year, I’m going to actually want to go back and watch more movies again on a regular basis.
As they say, in hard times people want to escape reality and embrace entertainment. Watching movies is a good distraction to have.
