365 Films in 365 Days

365 Films in 365 Days

Way back at the end of 2012, my Facebook Wifeface Nicola Manning and I resolved to watch a new film together on every single day of 2013. It’s probably the only New Year’s resolution I’ve ever kept, and we managed it with a minimum of drama and catch-up marathons, but a healthy dollop of whining about not having time to re-watch Con Air or finish Breaking Bad.

Essentially, 2013 taught me that when it comes to sitting on our arses staring at a screen, we’re stubborn, opinionated bastards.

So, here are my top and bottom ten films from the entire project. They’re not in any particular order, because I think I’ve done enough rating and reviewing for one year. Decade. LIFETIME.

THE GOOD: Frankenweenie, The Stendhal Syndrome, This is the End, Baise-Moi, Brick, Triangle, Excision, They Live, The Doom Generation, Django Unchained.

THE BAD AND THE UGLY: Howard the Duck, Monster House, Die Hard Dracula, Santos, Girls Just Want to Have Fun, Elysium, 9 Songs, Aguirre: The Wrath of God, Robotropolis, Puppetmaster.

Happy New Year everyone!
