Well, the first thing to say is that I actually made it through one month! After grandly stating that I was going to be doing this project all year, even with the mountain of unfinished projects tottering in front of me, I am proud to say that, though two nights I did fall asleep watching the movie and have to finish it the next day, in both cases I got halfway through, and it counts! I’d rather not do that too often, and also I would rather not be watching movies at midnight when I have to get up at 7a, but baby steps.
Here are all of the movies I saw in order of preference, in the categories of new movies and re-watches:

So now, here comes February, and I have decided to do things a little differently. Since in January I just let go entirely of any of the lists and categories of films I want to watch and just went rogue, in February I want to get a bit more on track.
Because this month I will be seeing several Disney movies at the drive-in, I will work on the Disney lists, both animation and other. My goal is to watch Disney for at least half of the month, so a minimum of 14 films, because I don’t want to abandon my beloved TCM entirely.
One month down, eleven to go!
