200 Days of Film

I love movies. I would say I’m a movie buff, but I think I still have a lot to explore in the universe of film. I want to learn more about everything- from the history, to the directors, all the way to the classics and cult favorites. I feel that in order for a normal girl like me to self-educate, I should find some way to commit. While I am on a journey to learn and commit on several things (that I may write about later on), I figured that embarking on this specific journey to film can be good for me. For 200 Days, I’m going to review and research all I can on 200 movies. The premise is simple: if I’ve already watched the movie, I’ll research and write on it. If I haven’t yet, then I’ll watch the movie before researching and writing on it. I’ve made a list of 150 movies consisting of movies everyone must watch in their lifetime, movies I already love, and movies I’m curious about. I figured the list would add on, so I’ll update this when I reach 200, but so far, here’s the list:

I know, there are tons of important movies I have not yet included here (including the entire Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Indiana Jones, and Star Wars series), but I will definitely be adding on and on. I guess these are things I want to start with. I know that this will take long, but I am currently on summer break, and I know I won’t have the same amount of time to do this once school comes.

I’ll see if I can do two movies a day sometimes, but I’m also studying a bunch of subjects, trying to get through a reading list, and trying to finish a certain TV show. 

(BTW, Won’t be watching in any order)

I hope I can do this! Let the challenge commence!

Update: I am nowhere near the finish line lol I suck
