How many films have you seen this summer?

[MacReady]

I'm making this thread in order to ask about how many films each of us have seen between the time that school/work ended and the time that school/work started again. I had about 88 days off, and I watched about 3 movie a day for about every single day, so that equates to about 264 movies this summer. How about you guys?

[A.J. Hakari]

I actually counted for an article I wrote for the campus newsletter, but I included movies from the beginning of May until the end of August. All in all, for the summer, I caught a grand total of 216 movies (including "MST3K" episodes and shorts). Not bad, not bad...

[bankholdup]

From the last day of school to the first, 64.

I saw quite a few, but not as many as I would've liked to. This is probably one of the weakest summers for movie watching I've had since '98, I guess. I had a lot going on, and didn't always have enough time. It got frusturating at times, but ah well.

[Hot-Handed Fury]

I'm too lazy to count, and I don't really care about bragging rights, so...

I have been to the theaters almost twice a week, and watch at least one movie a day at home.

[bnuz_17]

About 2 movies a day since May, i don't know how many movies that is...and i've been to the theatre 10-15 times this summer.

[Trinity]

I saw 101 movies in the June-August period, and a total of 311 so far this year.

[Fisting Ackbar]

From the beginning of May till the end of August, including rewatches, 83 flicks. Which I guess isn't too bad.

[Tayzlor]

I had a great summer. Between June and August I viewed 144 movies. Here's my top ten.

01. Manhattan
02. Ikiru
03. Blowup
04. The Seventh Seal
05. Jules et Jim
06. Annie Hall
07. Aguirre, the Wrath of God
08. Wild Strawberries
09. The Passion of Joan of Arc
10. Leaving Las Vegas

[ANavissi500]

This summer I saw 92 movies, which for me is a HUGE number. I was very proud of myself. This is my top 10 of the summer...

1. Sunset Blvd.
2. Dancer in the Dark
3. Dogville
4. North by Northwest
5. Psycho
6. To Kill A Mockingbird
7. Garden State
8. Collateral
9. The Terminal
10. Goodfellas

[bigred760]

I haven't kept a count, and I don't actually stop working during the summer (you lucky bastards!! :D) but if I had to guess the amount of new movies I've seen since Van Helsing came out (which was the official start of the movie season), it would be 25.

[thedudeman69]

I have seen 52 movies this year, I probably saw over 30 over the summer.

[MrMotherFucker]

i think I saw around 12 or 13 films over the summer

[HanasaMO]

I saw 50+ movies over the summer.

[JCR]

I had the best movie going summer ever. In the face of the blockbuster where wolves are the bad guys in movie about climate change, a superhero movie about facecream, the village, with what sounds like the worst plot twist ever, and the worst looking dracula ever, I went to see this many summer movies- zero. I watched 3 new movies over the summer- Fahrenheit 9/11, Oldboy, and the machinist. And I've had a fucking great time.

Fuck all that hollywood bullshit.

[A.J. Hakari]

Allow me to jump on the bandwagon and post my top ten for the summer season (May-August), on a **** scale:

1. The Killers (1964) - ****
2. The Hudsucker Proxy - ****
3. Radio Days - ****
4. The Kid (1921) - ****
5. The Circus - ****
6. The Bicycle Thief - ****
7. Modern Times - ****
8. Safety Last! - ****
9. Fahrenheit 9/11 - ****
10. City of God - *** 1/2

But you saw other noncurrent movies too, right? That's what most of us are putting down in our totals.

[Mad Maggot]

I didn't count, but I assume I saw 100-110 (re-watches included, of course). Not that bad of a summer, I'd say, but I've done better.

[Basco]

Oy vey. I saw 50 movies in theatres, and many of them several times (twas free as I used to work there). As for on video...couldn't tell you. I probably clocked in 2 a day on average, for say 3 months...roughly 180 I spose.

As far as top 10 goes, I can barely remember when I watched most of the movies, summer or not. But my first viewing of the JFK's director's cut happened recently, and I was fucking amazed. I couldn't believe I would be interested for roughly 4 hours, much less riveted for the entire running time. It may be my favourite movie ever, on a first viewing, which has never happened before, but it shows how much I enjoyed it, and how quality a flick it is.

[chilli pepper]

ive seen a movie a day every day since the tenth of july (along with a timid 6 shorts) which (unless of course ive counted wrong) comes to 63 (69 with the shorts.
