Film and Theatre Lover!
Yesterday was the first day that I posted on this blog (read here) and I felt as though I had to do something else more film related for the occasion of somehow keeping it all going for 15 years, so I thought I would pick my favourite film from each year, which possibly won’t link up with other posts of best films for each year.
Get involved yourself in the comments and pick your favourite and/or best films from the past 15 years!
That’s right it has been 15 years to the date since I made my first post on my WordPress Blog which was then just FilmReviews7 with the title “Films, Films and yes more Films” It then took me until the 7th June 2009 to decide on the name change to Let’s Go To The Movies and that is what it has been ever since and I am still really pleased that was the name I decided on.

Here we have the Screen Actor Guild Awards nominations for 2024!

I like putting together a list of films that I eventually watched for the first time in a year, which I had never previously watched. I guess this links into the whole Blindspot area that a lot of people aim for each year, as a way to catch up.
When putting this list together though I have noticed that I actually missed reviewing a couple of the films, which is a slight fail. But at least I can then recognise them in this post!

This has become one of my favourite things to look at that the end of the year, actually who am I kidding it’s something I actually monitor throughout the year as well. I love stats for anything and everything because let’s face it you cannot argue against that type of information.
My film viewing in 2023 was lower than normal and that was mainly due to some personal struggles and battles, I think with that though I managed to watch mainly ok and good films, obviously the odd bad one will sneak in but I feel as though I made better choices.
This year we have a new themes cateogry thrown in as well! I did try to keep rewatches a lower and focus on first time viewings and I manged 67.5%.
What are your stats for 2023?
Which film did you watch the most, and who were your top stars?
Welcome to the third full year of my constant Letterboxd logging, which I totally love as let’s face it I love nothing more than stats. Being able to see how many times I have watched different films which incidentally isn’t as high as previous years for rewatches, although that does link with a goal I had for the year in trying to keep the percentage of first time watches high, which was 74.7%.
Then also the top actors and directors of the year is always interesting, especially when Letterboxd app/site does all the hard work for you!
Here we have my 2022 film stats!
If you don’t currently have Letterboxd, what are you waiting for? Get logging all those films, you can also write a little review.
That’s right another year all done and dusted since I started Let’s Go To The Movies, if you told me back on the 9th February 2009 that 13 years later my little film blog would still be going rather strong I probably wouldn’t have believed you at all!

I actually really enjoy putting this “caught up with” list together each year (ok most years) mainly because I know people will wonder how I got to that year without seeing some truly classic and quite frankly outstanding films! While I call it a top 10, its not put in any particular order and has been filtered down from 40 that I thought were worthy to be included in the long list!
Prepare to be utterly amazed with some of my first time viewings in 2021 …

This was my second proper full year of logging everything I watch on Letterboxd and it really is so helpful and useful for keeping track of which films you watched and being able to put tags on means you can then easily scroll through that way as well. My challenge for this year was to “review” each film as well, which meant I just put in a couple of comments about the film.
Here we can take a look at my 2021 stats and I am sure no one will be surprised with my most watched films either!
Over the past few years I have found myself buying a new Christmas jumper, mainly for Christmas Day each year and have gone for film related ones in recent times. Although rather disappointing when hardly anyone actually knew that my Golden Girls jumper was in fact the Golden Girls. You can get some outstanding ones now which is why I decided to put together this blog post to highlight just how amazing some of the Christmas jumpers are and they appeal to pretty much every single fandom! Whatever you love the most you are guaranteed to find a jumper for that somewhere!
You can get a lot that are in sweatshirt style but I still personally prefer the proper trashy jumper style and when you add in film they really do have some great levels of detail on them.
