Topic: The Movies from Within My Lifetime: 2012 Edition - Discussions

[Achim]

Well, it wasn't done in January, because he only got the idea a few months in (from another forum I think). But other than that you are right, last year Pete finished within two, at the most three, weeks, I believe.

I would have continued mine already if the recent computer (hard drive) failure had rendered me unable to write reviews for a few days, sort of. I'll continue shortly and I already know that next up is The Italian Job.

EDIT:
Ok, so I checked here. Last year Pete started on March 23 and was done after two months on May 22.

Managed to eradicate a big 1992-2011 chunk

Just took out my birthyear, 1983 with BMX Bandits. Took 6 weeks and probably 60+ movies since I last hit a year I needed.

Very cool!... I'm still taking my sweet old time this year. 

[Achim]

In anticipation of moving to my new place soon I am also taking it slow. Once I am settled in I should be picking up the pace again.

2 left! 1984 and 1986.

[Dragonfire]

I officially have one done for this now. 

1979 Alien

[addicted2dvd]

I am almost at the half way point. But I purposely wanted to make it last this year.

[Dragonfire]

I have watched a few other movies that could have been for one of the last few years....
I just keep forgetting about this. 

[Achim]

I am still attempting this in order, which proves to be a bit slow for my earlier years.

[Dragonfire]

I guess that's what I tried last year...it didn't work so well for me.  I officially only got through 1.     So right now I'm tied with last year.

Giving up on that now. I am not always in the mood to review movies I watch, so I better make use of the reviews I actually do for this marathon... Otherwise I fear I am not going to make it.

And today I decided I have to give up on writing a review for everything watched as part of that marathon. I also went ahead and filled some of the slots with movies I had watched earlier this year but hadn't entered due to the lack of a review to go with it. Pathetic, but at least this time my list can be complete

I have given up doing all the year chronologically. I did it this way up to 2002. Now I decided to fill out the rest with movies I watched the last few months. Here is my finished list.
