Movies we've seen recently


I try to keep track of the movies I've watched, and what I thought of them. I figured I'd post the most recent list, so here is a link to that. These are not all of the movies we've watched lately -- some of the others have entries further up in the main file in which I track these things. For example, we saw The Matrix and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade during this period also, but for movies we see often, I just add another "viewed" date.


As you can see, the number of movies is pretty long. Once school is out (and the network shows are done with their seasons) we hit the DVDs pretty hard. I love the "MVP" membership at Hollywood Video. $15/month gets me all the movies I want to see -- as long as I'm willing to wait until a DVD is 6-8 weeks old before I view it.


This is actually pretty easy to do. There are DVDs I will buy as soon as they come out, so I don't need to rent them. For anything else, I can wait. The only real danger is movies which have their DVD release at the end of the summer. Those I might forget about before we do another stretch of DVD renting.


Oh, in case it's interesting, the "Rating" I use is a 100-point scale. Generally speaking, I will consider buying a movie if I score it 80 or above.


Interested to know what the highest and lowest scores I've ever given are? Ask!

Name: Mike Hacker

Steve, a plug here for Netflix, which keeps a record of all the movies you've ever checked out from their service, and when. It's a nice feature. They only permit a 5 point rating system though.
