Movie Every Year Since Birth
A supplement to my project from 2017, this month long project is watching a movie from every year I've been alive, 1987-2017. Including 2017 actually made it 31 movies, hence doing this in December. I thought about this for my September project but I thought it was too similar to last year's theme hence why it's a side project.
Remind me never to do a movie project in December ever again. It went fine the first half of the month but then once it started getting closer to Christmas I found myself struggling to find time to watch a move.
Also originally I had a bunch of movies listed from my Netflix queue (some of which had been on the list for years), but without fail when I'd go to watch it it suddenly wasn't available anymore >_<.
