Movies I watched in 2025

I started logging the movies I watch in Letterboxd in 2023. This has been a useful way to keep track of my project to watch all the AFI 100 greatest American films, which has been an enlightening and educational, if not always 100% enjoyable journey. I’ve got 19 movies left to watch on that list.

I also like the stats it provides, so I thought I’d do a little year in review from the perspective of my movie habit.

I watched 102 movies
