The Movies from Within My Lifetime: 2012 Edition
Discussion Thread

OK... here is the deal. In this marathon you watch/review 1 title for every year from the year you were born through out the year 2012. So obviously this marathon will be longer for some of us then others. For example... I will have to watch/review 43 movies! On the other hand if my daughter Brittany joins in... she would only have to watch/review 17 titles. Of course I know none of us has a movie for 2012 yet... but that is where the best part comes in. Deadline for completing this marathon is December 31, 2012! I would think by then all of us will have a 2012 movie in our collection.

How you do your reviews is totally up to you... whether you go in chronological order or skip around. Whether you do a long detailed review... mini review... or even only a rating attached to your list. It is all good... all totally up to you. The only requirement is that you have fun!

So discuss away and join in on the fun!

Lists are here

Thanks for splitting it up.  I wasn't sure how people would prefer it so just did it the way it was done last year.

The first time I tried this, I used a different title for my list which I still prefer but I'll go with the list title everyone else is using this time.  But I won't start my reviews until January 1.

Of course, not the first post looks a bit weird, as it is now by Sebastien yet still reads "my daughter" The first clue was already when I thought "I didn't know Sebastien is almost as old as I"

I decided to scrap my previous attempt (closing the thread appropriately) and will start fresh here. I guess I will have to review 45 movies for this, that is close to one per week *gulp* I haven't decided yet if I should go in sequence or random.

I'll give it another try, last one was a big fail for me

[Dragonfire]

I failed miserably too Jimmy...don't feel bad.

Rather than starting a new thread, I'll keep my reviews in my usual thread and update my list using links for that.

Not many left:

1983
1984
1986
1988
1990
1991
2012

Managed to eradicate a big 1992-2011 chunk

I found I haven't been in the mood to watch any for the year I am at... so put this to the side. I guess I should go ahead and do it out of order... but then I am afraid I will leave my least favorite years till the end... and end up not completing it. 

[Achim]

Thanks for the reminder. I was gone for 10 days and might have forgotten bout this otherwise. I have planned to watch 2001 for 1968, but that requires a certain mood to be in. Will see if it fits tonight

[Dragonfire]

I do want to do this....really.  I just haven't had a lot of time for movies in the last month unfortunately.  Work has been a bit nuts.

[Achim]

Don't worry, you are not alone. I have done 2/44 in 6 weeks and must pick up pace as well. So far there is still more than 10 months to go...

[addicted2dvd]

I am really doing this slower myself this year. But on purpose. Want it to last a while. But so far I only done 12 movies for this. If I am not mistaken... I was done by this time last year.

[Dragonfire]

I think you were done in like February last year.

[Jimmy]

Peter being Peter I'm sure it was over in the middle of january

Not so much for me... I watch movies I just don't think to write reviews
