 While in film school I had a competition with a friend tracking how many movies I watched in a year. I once managed a little more than one per day for a year. I think it was just shy of 400, like 385 or something like that. I want to look back and say "what a waste," but i loved it and learned so much about film so i can't convince myself that it was wasted time even when i try 😆

(i also had multiple film classes where we literally watched a movie and did story/shot/scene analysis on it, so i had help, lol) 
 Watching the movies is one thing being able to create that list without pausing for 10s is the thing that impressed me.
