ziggyelman Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 My Dad and I watched 3, count 'em 3 movies yesterday!!! Not a typical night to say the least. But, usually see 5-6 movies a week. I usually get brain fog if I watch movies back to back to back, no matter how good they are. If I do watch several in a day, I need a break between them. But, everyone is different, as we all know. Asked a question like this on a jazz board years ago(How many hours a day do you listen to jazz?) and I said 1-2 hours, mainly driving to and fro was plenty, but other people gladly listened to music almost every waking hour, and never tired of it!!! So...how many do you watch???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metropolisforever Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I usually watch movies at night, when my siblings are asleep. I usually watch 1 or 2 movies a week. I usually watch several short films a week. Yesterday, I watched one movie: Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flynnfan52 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Since I discovered TCM last April I've wached at least 8 - 10 a week. I need to catch up on all these amazing movies I either saw long ago with my mother or just heard about. I also watch at least part of an Errol Flynn movie every day.

webestang Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I watch about 12 to 14 movies each week. Many are from TCM, but I also have a HUGH collection of DVD's and VHS. When I rent movies, I rent 3 or 4 at a time and watch them all in one night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinSena Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Between 5-10 a week. I just got into movies last summer when I moved to an area that got TCM. I quickly plowed through the AFI 100 list (with the help of my library), as well as many of the greatest films lists, foreign and domestic. I felt like I needed some catching up.

OllieTSB Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Zig, I'm often amazed by how many 'never before seen gems' I run across on TCM, week after week, sometimes 4 or 5 a day, sometimes 'only' 2 or 3 a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelluloidKid Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Let's see my partner & I see at least 2-3 films per weekend in theater, Rent about 2 films every week & we own over 1000 DVD's between My partner and I. I also do the Phoenix and Denver Film Fest every year! When it's our day off, we have TCM playing at least 12 hrs out of a 24 hr day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsclassic Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Ive got Netflix - 4 movies a week plus if I have time to watch something on my own The time of the movie also affects how many I get to see..I tend to watch longer movies on the weekend & weeknights under 90 minutes..I tend to fall asleep weeknights so need to have energy to watch things - caffeine or an energy drink My movie project is to watch a lot of classics that I hadnt ever heard of ..its a great hobby for me and probably a lot of members here too.. I spread my viewing habits from horror/scifi/fantasy to now include Noir/Mystery/Classic..Im really into trying most anything...I decided to watch the remaining Hitchcock movies I havent seen, check out Robert Mitchum, Barbara Stanwyck, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford box set titles, to see if I want any of those movies....and there are some Alpha titles, that if I like them I can do the 5 for 25.00 deal... I have viewed Orson Wells' movies, Controversial Classics, Noir Volumes, all for the sake of seeing things for the first time that I am curious about...between these classics there are lots of newer movies I have to see like the Mist, D-wars (this will be a waste of time I bet) I am not into War movies so at least I know what not to rent Not every film I will see is going to be a winner, but I would like to see as many as I want...this will be a year long project...

CelluloidKid Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I have Blockbuster On-line which I like better than Netflix. With Blockbuster on-line you don't have to send you movies back and wiat to get more, after you watched the films you get in the mail just return them to a Blockbuster Store, & you can exhange it for another free film! In addition Blockbuster also sends coupons Via Email for free rentals too! Also I try to rent from Mom/Pop Video stores since they carry alot of hard to find films!

Nicki82 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I tend to watch 10-20 movies a week, to begin with I watch most them on TCM, I also like to watch alot of movies that come on other movie channels, you have to also factor in the movies from my DVD collection, and then the other movies I watch are those that are playing at movie theaters near by, it depends upon what has come out, I mean some months, I tend to see about 8 different movies, but other months there seems to be a lot of junk out, and I'll see about 2 different movies.
