The only films I had previously seen on this list were Fargo, Cabin In The Woods, and Rear Window. Outside of festival screenings I saw a lot more films in the cinema than I usually do, this year it was 16. I started off the year with a Scooby-Doo film, which is something I've done for a few years now. My year ended with a batch of Netflix films because I only just signed up for Netflix in November. This was the second year where I watched scary/classic horror films in October. June was the month I watched the least amount, which makes sense as it's a very busy work time for me every summer. It was a pretty great year of film watching, a fun mix of big action blockbusters, indie dramas, art house and festival stuff, some great noirs and old classics. Only a handful of disappointing films, really.

There's still a lot of films from 2014 I want to see and some from 2013 I haven't seen yet, plus a ton of classics I'm still missing. There's some TV shows I'd like to check out too, which will take away from film watching time, along with a bunch of books I want to read, and, you know, all that writing I have to do! So onward into 2015!
