My #365Movies Challenge

Comedian Doug Benson, host of the Doug Loves Movies podcast, has started a movie challenge for 2015. He has challenged himself to watch 365 movies in 365 days. Doug's movie challenge is to watch any "new to him" movie that is over 75 minutes. I have decided to take up the challenge myself but I will include live action and animated short films. Actually, the reasoning behind my own challenge was to take full advantage of Netflix and Hulu Plus. All these movies at my fingertips and I've barely seen any of them. I then heard about the #365Movie challenge and decided to jump on board.

As of March 14, 2015, I have seen 48 films. Some good, some great and some just bad. Here's what I have so far:

  1. Catching Fire: The Hunger Games Saga (12/11/14)
