2024

Movies

Goals

• I don't think that I will watch significantly more movies than I did in 2023. I am going to shoot for an average of 7-10 movies per month or around 80-120 movies for the year. The total number of movies isn't as important to me as the mix of movies.
• I would like to watch 5-7 from each decade from the 1930s to the 2020s.
• I would like to try to expand the diversity of the foreign language films I watch. I would like to try and see at least one movie each from Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East. I think that  the Noir City DC Film Festival should help in that regards if the slate for NCFF in January in San Francisco is any indication of what to expect to be showing at the DC edition of the festival in October.
• I would like to watch more animated films from Japan. I'm not sure what else is out there but there are probably other animated films in languages other than Japanese that I should try.
• I would like to watch more animated films in English, including some older ones from 1970s and 1980s.
• I would like to try and watch a few musicals. They aren't exactly my cup of tea but I would like watch a few even if they are just ones that I have seen before.
• I would like to watch more documentaries
• I would like to watch more films that star and/or were made by non-White people in English and other languages
• I would like to watch some English language films from countries other than just the US, UK, and Australia
