Additions & Set Backs... Ugh!

So this week we went on vacation... and everywhere we go, people seem to want to help expand the Movie Wall.  And therefore, lengthen my personal journey throughout said Movie Wall.  So of course, we found a video store having a mega blowout sale up in North Conway.

And we bought 53 new movies, for less that $2 apiece.  Sweet, right?

Sure, unless someone's trying to watch all the movies on the wall in alphabetical order.  Of the new titles, 28 are in letters I've already completed.  So that means I'm going rogue again and plowing through these new movies to get back to the L's.  It also means that the entire movie collection has been pushed back a shelf, so the movies I was watching on Shelf 8 are now on Shelf 9.  This messes things up a bit.

Here's the new plan.... I'm going to watch the 28 new additions, plus finish the rest of what WAS shelf 8 and then move on to finish the rest of shelf 9 (which will only be about 15 or 20 titles).  In all that confusing mess, I will watch about 60 movies total to finish and move on to Shelf 10.  Does this make sense?  Bear with me here, people.

So here are the 28 movies I'm jumping back to, in alphabetical order:
  1. The 13th Warrior
  2. Analyze This
  3. Animatrix
  4. Breach
  5. Can't Hardly Wait
  6. Cliffhanger
  7. Connie & Carla
  8. Conversations with Other Women
  9. Courage Under Fire
  10. Dave
  11. Finding Neverland
  12. First Knight
  13. From Hell
  14. The General's Daughter
  15. Girl, Interrupted
  16. GoldenEye
  17. Heartbreakers
  18. The History Boys
  19. The Imposter
  20. The Invention of Lying
  21. The Italian Job
  22. Kiss of the Dragon
  23. The Last Samurai
  24. A League of Their Own
  25. Legends of the Fall
  26. Liar Liar
  27. Life as a House
  28. The Losers
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand the rest of the new Shelf 9 includes:
  1. The Long Kiss Goodnight
  2. The Lookout
  3. LOTR: Fellowship
  4. LOTR: Two Towers
  5. LOTR: Return
  6. Lord of War
  7. The Lost Boys
  8. Love Actually
  9. The Lovely Bones
  10. M
  11. Magnolia
  12. The Majestic
  13. Major Payne
  14. Mallrats
  15. The Man in the Iron Mask
  16. The Mask of Zorro
So that's 44 more movies added to my current watching load (plus what I still had left from Shelf 8).  Ugh.

In light of these developments, I'm pushing my deadline back to December 31, 2011. And also forbidding Mike to purchase additional DVDs under penalty of death.  Wish me luck...

  1. Wow that's quite a big jump in titles. Some very good ones in there though.

  2. Yeah, it was totally worth it! We upgraded about 20 VHS tapes and hauled away a few gems the Movie Wall needed :) I'm overwhelmed, but I'll get through it. Stay tuned!
