Every Movie I Watched in 2014

Every year I like to keep track of my insanity, or in other words keep track of every movie I watch throughout the year.  After I watch a movie, I log it into a word document, rate it out of 10, and put the date that I watched the movie.  And every year I look back on the list and I admire the film discoveries I made, the films I've seen before that have held up over time, and wonder how I managed to get anything done throughout the year.

In All Seriousness:

My one rule for this list of watched films is I only count it if I watch the movie from start to finish.  I don't count it if I start a movie and don't pay attention for most of it, I don't count it if I start watching a movie 20 minutes in and then finish it, I don't count it if I miss the last 5 minutes.  All of these films I've seen from the opening to the closing credits.

Ratings mean something different for everyone who rates things, so here is what each rating I make means.

.5-1.5 means I hated it.
2-3 means I really didn't like it.
3.5-4.5 means I almost liked it.
5 means I thought it was okay.
5.5-7means I liked it.
7.5-8 means I liked it a lot.
8.5-9 means I loved it.
9.5-10 means it's one of my favorite movies of all-time.

214 total movies watched this year. 201 of them are different, which means 13 of these films were repeated viewings of a movie in this same year.  For example, I watched Inside Llewyn Davis 3 times this year, which means the 2nd and 3rd time watching it counts towards the 13 repeated viewings.

Let me know if you have any gripes with my ratings, did I rate something too well or too poorly?  And please let me know what you think of any of these films if you wind up watching them after reading this.
