The First 100 Movies of 2013

Back in 2011, I briefly put together some stats on the first 100 movies I saw that year. I actually passed this milestone at the end of April this year and wanted to pull together a stats blog then, but I just never got around to it. So here we go. What did I watch in the first 100 new movies of the year?

How many did I watch per star rating?
0.5 stars - 3
1 star - 8
1.5 stars - 6
2 stars - 10
2.5 stars - 13
3 stars - 13
3.5 stars - 20
4 stars - 24
4.5 stars - 4
5 stars - 0

I did see a few duds, but overall I've seen far more decent and well-liked films than bad ones this month. Yay!

How many per month?
January - 27
February - 33
March - 24
April - 16

February was a crazy movie month this year. I was doing a movie challenge where I tried to watch a top unseen romance movie from Flickchart every day, so that was 28 movies right there, plus every Redbox movie I wanted to see came out that month.

How many per decade?
1920s - 1
1930s - 2
1940s - 10
1950s - 6
1960s - 6
1970s - 6
1980s - 7
1990s - 11
2000s - 11
2010s - 40

Holy cow. Almost half of the movies I watched were from the last 3 years. I guess that's what happens when you make lots and lots of Redbox trips. Aside from the sudden spike of 10 movies from the 1940s, there's a lovely pattern to this. If only I had seen one fewer movie from the 1980s...

The Movies I Finally Saw That Everyone Says I Should Have Seen Already
Brazil
Zoolander
Chasing Amy
There's Something About Mary
Top Gun
The 40-Year-Old Virgin
La strada
Fast Times At Ridgemont High
The Lady Vanishes
