(k) The 48 movies I saw in 2015 :)
Only counting movies I saw for the first time.
Faves: 6… tentatively.
Best documentary: The unbelievers!
Best non-documentary: The imitation game!
Göteborg International Film Festival movies: 8… A seemingly unavoidable consequence of reading about almost each of the 500 movies in the programme. %D (And I marked way more than 8.) Except… I no longer live in Gothenburg… This year I can only send for a programme, mark delicious movies, weep, and hope that I find them down the road. Of life. Er.
WARNING: LIST MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!
9-Jan-2015: 1. My own private Idaho
15-Jan-2015: 2. Big miracle
WHAAAAAAAAAALES ^_^
21-Jan-2015: 3. The unbelievers
Fave! Fucking brilliant and inspiring docu about Richard Dawkins and Lawrence Krauss going on tour to give talks on atheism. I need to get me to an atheist convention one o' these years. :D
22-Jan-2015: 4. Wild
I read the book last year.
23-Jan-2015: 5. Fidelio - Alice's journey (a.k.a. "Fidelio, l'odyssée d'Alice")
About a woman who works on a gargantuan container ship. The ships have been known to give me a bit of feels.
24-Jan-2015: 6. Citizenfour
Fave! Documentary about Edward Snowden.
26-Jan-2015: 7. Vessel
Fave! And the best film I saw at GIFF in 2015. A documentary about an organization that uses a boat and other tricks to provide abortions to people who couldn't otherwise have them. :) Speaking of which, please support The Lilith Fund, which "assists Texans in exercising their fundamental right to abortion by removing barriers to access". Thank you. :D
26-Jan-2015: 8. Beautiful youth (a.k.a. "Hermosa juventud")

1-Feb-2015: 12. Himmel över Flogsta
9-Feb-2015: 13. The imitation game
Fave! It has become very rare for me to fave a (non-documentary) film after only one viewing (or two… or 9000…), but I faved this before it was even over. It has… almost everything! :D (Including, but not limited to, Britishness, lolz, Aspie traits, feminism, nerd pride, gay pride, computers, that guy with the name that all the kids are going on about these days, god-stompin’, suicide, adorkability, and the best Oscar speech of 2015. ^_^ ) I went to see the movie because of my mild interest in computer history. (As I’ve said before, though I suck at computers I tend to like stories about them.) Within days, I became a Cumbercookie LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. o_O Then I dragged my mum along to my second viewing of "The imitation game", and she loved it too… and has rewatched it. Twice. She virtually never rewatches any movie even once. Anyway… It turned out I had already seen about five of Benedict’s movies (the first one being "Creation" in 2010!), but… I… kind of… sort of… otterly… failed to… remember him in them. *ERROR ERROR MEEEEEP BZZZZZZZZ BLAMMO* I was the last person in the world to get on that train. -_- Four or five "Sherlock" marathons: Check. "Hamlet": Check. :) :B :D xD
