The beginning of this year was near and I watched out if I could find little projects to get accomplished and to test some things. Since I am currently pretty much into this daily project thing — like my 365 iPhone photograph project — I started one more which I want to tell you about her.

The project I started the first of January 2010 was called: ‘31 Days. 31 Movies.’ and what it was about is watching 31 Movies in the month January. And I did it. I even accomplished it one day early! But I can tell: it was hard. Even for someone like me who really watches many movies it is really hard to do one per day and some days two because I was not able to watch a movie on Sundays for example.

About the Movies

Some are great, some are not. Some are even a bit strange — for example La Pianista is very strange! But for example the movie Crossing Over, Into the Wild, Palermo Shooting or Body of Lies are just excellent watches! I can encourage everybody to watch them. And especially for blogger, the movie Julie & Julia is a nice story.

In the End

All in all I can tell that this project was very time consuming. I normally watch many movies but I tend to do it out of a ‘want’ not a must. But while the project it was more a must than a want. I really enjoyed many of the movies very much but still I am happy that this ‘must’ is now over!

What I want to mention is that I am really proud about my self that I in the end accomplished the project without real problem. I finished it and that absolutely feels great. And that is about the project was most: it was about doing something I think I can accomplish and do not let it fall down in the middle. I did it from start to finish and that is a encouraging feeling for coming project.

While this project was about watching 31 movies, the next month is about doing something else but about that I am going to write at the end of the month February to let you know how I did and about what I think about that kind of project. I just do not want to take to much pressure on me — even though some people say that, telling others encourages more than everything else, I want to do it as a silent project and tell about it after finishing it.

If your also have an obsession about movies, please feel free to tell me. And maybe write me some ideas for movies I should watch in the future, or tell me your opinion about that project, have you done something like that(?) or plan on doing something like that?

The Movies

Now I want to share the list of movies I watched in that 31 days:
