Good Movies / 2026 - TRACK THE MOVIES YOU WA...
Last post by indianasmith - January 01, 2026, 12:21:15 AM
Here we go again, guys - the annual thread where we share the films we watch in a given year.
Here's to movies - the good, the bad, and the downright awful - that will entertain us in 2026!

In 2014, I watched 202 movies.
In 2015, I hit my personal high of 219.
In 2016, I dropped back down to 138.
In 2017, my total was down to 124.
In 2018, my total dropped to 103
And in 2019, I hit my lowest yet - 68 movies!
2020, with all the quarantining, saw my numbers jump up - I watched 99 movies.
2021 was a busy year, but I did watch 87 movies (and a lot of TV series!)
2022 saw me back in triple digits with 103 movies totaled.
2023 was slightly behind that with 101 movies watched.
2024 Bumped up slightly to 105
2025 Was pretty busy, so my number dropped down to 72!

STAGKNIGHT (2007)
Wrapped up the year with this absolute stinker.
Low budget British horror/comedy about a paintball team taking one of their members to a country lodge for his bachelor party.  The thoroughly unlikable crew runs afoul of a resurrected medieval zombie knight who is protecting a cauldron that holds the secret to eternal life and riches or something like that.  Pretty dismal. 2/5

Tonight's Stinker
Invasion of the Neptune Men (1961)
https://youtu.be/05Qd-rrY3SI?si=ikk0MaCimjnggZkC

Some Japanese kids are learning about a satellite, & decide to go outside & look for it.... Instead, an alien spaceship lands nearby, & a group of aliens with bullet shaped helmets try to abduct them... That's when a Japanese wrestler they call Space Chief shows up in his flying car & saves the day.... He has a couple more brief cameos in this movie...
Meanwhile, all the world's electronics start going in reverse, and a couple of nuclear reactors blow up... The kids are able to convince the scientists that it's aliens, so we're treated to some corny rambling about junk science, and eventually they build a force field.....

The print is dark, and the dubbing is laughable, but the pacing is pretty brisk, even in the talky parts...
Corny fun.....

n 2018 I read 60 books.
In 2019, I read 46 (in my defense, a couple of them were whoppers of over 600 pages!)
In 2020, I read 43, but there were NO cartoon anthologies on the list this time!
In 2021, I read a total of 46 books - some pretty massive biographies (600+ pages) included.
In 2022, I read 66 books - including reading the Sandman saga TWICE, at least.  Also re-read Colleen McCullough's MASTERS OF ROME series - thick, chunky books, but I love them! And the usual mix of history, biography, and fiction.
In 2023, I read 45 books - lots of chunky biographies in the mix.
In 2024, I read a total of 39 books (it was a busy year)
In 2025, I got back up to speed and read 52 books

"New Year's Evil" (1980)
A new-wave rock radio DJ (Roz "Pinky Tuscadero" Kelly) is hosting a live New Year's Eve countdown broadcast, which is interrupted by calls from a psycho killer who promises to murder someone at the stroke of midnight in each time zone. Eventually, of course, he comes looking for her to become his final victim of the night.
A pretty "meh" slasher/murder mystery, not terrible but I've also seen far better.
