2016: The 58 Movies I Watched
Every year, NeoGAF has a 50 books and 50 movies challenge, in which you have to read 50 new books and watch 50 new movies before the start of the next year. There is also a game equivalent, in which you have to beat 52 new video games. These challenges provide that extra motivation to do/finish the things you already wanted to anyway and can lead you to checking out stuff you otherwise may not have (this is especially true with books).
The movie challenge was the only one I completed, watching a total of 58 throughout the year of 2016.
My ratings are done on a 5-star scale (no halfsies).
★ - Hated it
★★ - Disliked it
