Film and Theatre Lover!
Such sad news to wake up to this morning that director and actor Rob Reiner along with his wife Michele were both found dead in their home yesterday afternoon. Director of incredible films, A Few Good Men, When Harry Met Sally, Misery, Stand By Me, This is Spinal Tap, Sleepless in Seattle and some of my guilty pleasures including The American President, Rumor Has It and The Bucket List. As well as many acting roles.
Rest in peace ❤️
Obviously I cannot help but jump on a trend so created an action figure through ChatGPT and naturally got a bit carried away by adding different items and making it really film related to my favourites. Also I uploaded a photo where I was wearing a Wicked Theatre t-shirt.
That’s right today marks the anniversary of Let’s Go To The Movies or blogaversary as it would have once been known. On the 9th February 2009 I made my first post and let’s face it I probably didn’t think that 16 years later I would still be reviewing the films that I have watched at the cinema, now on streaming and catching up with classics of years gone by. But somehow Let’s Go To The Movies is still going and in the past few months I hit that incredible 2 million views and eventually managed to purchase the .com domain I had been after for a long time.
Thank you once again to everyone for the incredible support, as it stands I have 2289 film reviews on Let’s Go To The Movies. Plenty more to come!
By this point everyone should be extremely aware of how much I am a fan of When Harry Met Sally and it should be no surprise that I am now talking about this utterly incredible recreation or update if you will for that truly outstanding scene from When Harry Met Sally. Back at Katz dinner but this time Hellmann’s is involved and let’s face it mayo is the best!
Incredible from Billy Crystal and even more so Meg Ryan to do this all over again, seriously incredible!
“I can’t believe they let us back in this place” “No one remembers that” 😂
It’s that time of year again, although I have been a little slow in posting to check out the Letterboxd stats for the previous year. I love these stats and find it very interesting to keep a check on which films I have watched. Something interesting for 2024 is that I didn’t watch many films multiple times, feels strange to have only logged When Harry Met Sally twice!
I actually thought my film watching was a bit lower but it was a few more than 2023 although I don’t think the highs of 2020 and even 2021 with the main lockdown/furlough and then that smaller lockdown at the start of 2021 will ever be beaten.
As you can probably tell from my stats I did a revisit to X-Men and The Hunger Games which sees Jennifer Lawernce take the top spot, some interesting ones in the actors due to that.
What are your stats for 2024?
Did you have a film you watched on repeat and who was your top star?
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?
Happy New Year to everyone who follows and supports Let’s Go To The Movies. That’s right for another year I made sure to watch When Harry Met Sally to see in midnight.
All the best for 2024!
Welcome to the third full year of my constant Letterboxd logging, which I totally love as let’s face it I love nothing more than stats. Being able to see how many times I have watched different films which incidentally isn’t as high as previous years for rewatches, although that does link with a goal I had for the year in trying to keep the percentage of first time watches high, which was 74.7%.
Then also the top actors and directors of the year is always interesting, especially when Letterboxd app/site does all the hard work for you!
Here we have my 2022 film stats!
If you don’t currently have Letterboxd, what are you waiting for? Get logging all those films, you can also write a little review.
Happy New Year to everyone who follows and supports Let’s Go To The Movies. I feel as though in 2022 I lacked a little bit in posts and didn’t get reviews up as quickly as I have done in previous years, I even missed the epic landmark of reaching 2000 film reviews back in August!
Therefore at the end of 2022 I hit 2052 reviews on Let’s Go To The Movies.
Who better to talk about New Year’s Eve than Harry?
