If our Internet hadn't gone down the crapper on multiple occasions I wouldn't have had to watch the Twilight Series on DVD (thanks mum...) But hey, at least I skipped Breaking Dawn Part 1 and went straight to Part 2 because I do have some standards. But usually multiple re-watches in a short period of time was the times our Internet was dead.Only 3 movies nearly brought me to tears this year: Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, Perks of Being a Wallflower and Grave of the Fireflies...Grave of the Fireflies made those other 2 look like comedies by comparison. Took ages after watching it before I could even talk about it without getting choked up.I also learnt I don't have a specific genre that I like more than others. Going into 2018, if you had asked me what my favourite genre was I would have said sci-fi/fantasy. Now i'm open to pretty much anything.Overall: I'm happy that I managed to accomplish this, but man i'd never do it again. The stress of not thinking I was not going to be able to do it on a few occasions was tough. But i'm happy with how many movies I have seen now.Thanks for reading! via /r/movies http://bit.ly/2QkKwov
