Movies from every letter of the Alphabet

So I finally did it.  I watched a movie from every letter of the alphabet.  Rather than review every movie I watched, I have a few key takeaways from forcing myself to watch these movies.

It took about a year to watch the movies.  I put very little thought into the movies themselves and in some cases, took the only movie I could find with the letter. For example: XXX State of the Union.

This is a movie I would have gladly watched 20 years ago, when I was 15 but now that I'm 35, it was a struggle.  Corny acting, basic story-line, predictable.  It's a movie to watch explosions and CGI Stunts and listen to corny dialogue.

I did watch a number of movies that I was not interested in solely to get through them.  I had a hard time finding good movies for U and X that I had not already seen.

Overall, not a bad experience and it forced me to watch movies in genre's I would not normally watch.  I watched movies back to the 60's and had a good time with most of them.

My next movie goal is to watch all 5 best picture nominations from the 1982 (year I was born) oscars.

I've completed them all except for "Reds".  I might even rent it today.
