Hello, all you movie fans!
Long time, no see! I know that I have posted now for three days in a row, but it's tradition here at Movies Meet Their Match that at the start of the new year I list all of the books I read and the movies I watched! Now, this post is going to be huge, so apologies for that.
Here is my
2016 list,
2017 list, and
2018 list.
Clarifications:
Ones with a
~ means I saw it in a theater.
Ones with an asterisk (
*) means I saw it more than once.
If I have reviewed it I will put the link to my review.
To be on this list I must have seen more than half of it, the ending, and cannot have missed more than half an hour of it.
There are not any rewatches on here because I rewatch way too many movies to count.
Movies:
The Avengers (2012)
Monkey Business (1952)

Total: 67 movies
As you can see, 2019 was a MARVELous year because I decided to try to watch all of the movies in the MCU. I had only seen 5 of them previously, and obviously I didn't watch all of them, but I got pretty far!
I have an awesome story to go with that. My Spanish teacher and I had been talking about Marvel movies because I told her that I was watching them and she loves them (her favorite is Thor). She told me that I needed to see
Endgame in theaters because she loved it, but I told her that I couldn't because I hadn't been able to watch
Infinity War.
One day in May, I was sitting on my front steps reading my second favorite book of the year and crying (because that book is so gorgeous!!!) when she drove up in her car. I was trying to pretend then that I hadn't been crying. She said, "Here, I got this for you." and handed me a DVD of
Avengers: Infinity War. She told me, "Now you have no more excuses, you have to see
Endgame!" It meant so much to me that she got it for me.
I am so sorry for all of you who had to wait a whole year between
Infinity War and
Endgame, because I only had to wait three days and it was painful!
