Film and Theatre Lover!
I did something special last month in terms of a cinema trip and all in one day, back to back I got to experience one of my favourite trilogies on the big screen again. This was the first time I had watched them one after the other on the big screen though and it was enjoyable as ever (well maybe changing the trailers before each one might have been a little bit better but never mind).

This has become one of my favourite things to look at that the end of the year, actually who am I kidding it’s something I actually monitor throughout the year as well. I love stats for anything and everything because let’s face it you cannot argue against that type of information.
My film viewing in 2023 was lower than normal and that was mainly due to some personal struggles and battles, I think with that though I managed to watch mainly ok and good films, obviously the odd bad one will sneak in but I feel as though I made better choices.
This year we have a new themes cateogry thrown in as well! I did try to keep rewatches a lower and focus on first time viewings and I manged 67.5%.
What are your stats for 2023?
Which film did you watch the most, and who were your top stars?
One of the greatest films of all time – THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION (1994) will be back in VUE cinemas nationwide from this Friday 18th March. It will be the first time cinema audiences in the UK and Ireland can see the film in all its 4K restored glory.
Nominated for seven Academy Awards categories and the number one rated movie on IMDb’s Top 250 list, Frank Darabont’s movie Shawshank Redemption (1994) is still considered to be one of the best movies of all time. It was voted the greatest film of all time by Empire readers in “The 201 Greatest Movies of All Time” poll undertaken in March 2006.
This was my second proper full year of logging everything I watch on Letterboxd and it really is so helpful and useful for keeping track of which films you watched and being able to put tags on means you can then easily scroll through that way as well. My challenge for this year was to “review” each film as well, which meant I just put in a couple of comments about the film.
Here we can take a look at my 2021 stats and I am sure no one will be surprised with my most watched films either!
