I average about 1/month. Nothing grabs me. And I don't download/torrent anymore, and if I find a movie on my watch-list that seems interesting, either I can't find it, or can't find the subtitles.
And if I'm not enjoying a movie within the first 20-25 minutes, I turn it off. I rather not watch a movie than see some mediocre one.
I’ve slowed down on movies over the last several months, maybe 15-20.
I’m currently into several long run crime and western shows plus some true crime docs and series.
I never got into shows myself. But in the last hour of the day, I almost always watch "Wanted: Dead or Alive" with Steve McQueen to put me in that frame of mind - sleeping outside back in the 1880s since they had no hotels, etc., and in the freezing cold (like my bedroom).
15-20 a month is one every other day - pretty good I'd say. I try, because watching a good movie heals me, but a bad movie I have to turn off really upsets me and probably gets me to do anything else instead of actually trying.
Sounds like you might really enjoy Jeremiah Johnson (72) starring Robert Redford as a fur trapper out in the old West. It’s a fine movie.
shareI saw it years ago... I wish the new family would have had more on-screen time.
shareI understand your point of view, some more romance and household chores could have cemented their loving family relationship but we DID have to arrive at the murderous war he waged against the natives.
He killed them every time until they declared peace. Nice job!
Ha, no chores.. But more communication. The new family was dead before it started. Another 2-3 minute scene would have made a difference. It was my favorite part of the movie, if you could call it a part.
shareSince I'm retired and have a wife who loves watching movies I get to 3 or 4 a week in the evening after dinner, mostly romance or romcom which I like as well.
As I pointed out in the other topic you just replied to, I only skip over the last 3rd of it and my wife actually agrees with that, which cuts a movie to about 1 hour in length.
Aside of that I keep searching for anything that might meet my taste, mostly it doesn't and that usually means I scan through the movie in fast forward mode, watch one or another scene while jumping 30 mins forward in between and am done watching a movie in under 5 minutes.
Occasionally I find something that's a real perfect match for my taste, last of these I found was the Netflix documentary "A Secret Love" (probably nothing for your taste) and these I can watch several dozen times over.
After a while I usually cut down the parts of the movie I rewatch over and over to the parts I really love.
There are single episodes of some series, or sometimes just single scenes from an episode that I never get enough of watching them, i.e. there's an episode of Stargate titled "Window of Opportunity" where I totally lost count how often I might have watched that, I just love it.
So to answer your question, as long as watching the same thing several times counts and as long as watching it while skipping 1/3 of it still counts, I would have to say somewhere between 50 and 100 a month.
“ mins forward in between and am done watching a movie in under 5 minutes.”
WTF? lol
“ So to answer your question, as long as watching the same thing several times counts and as long as watching it while skipping 1/3 of it still counts, I would have to say somewhere between 50 and 100 a month.”
No, watching a movie in 5 minutes doesn’t count. WTF? lol
Those I don't count either, that was just explaining how I keep searching for things I might like out of which I then occasionally find one that I watch several times.
If movies or episodes of series I've seen already don't count several times I'd probably end up on maybe one a day or 30 a month.
Oh ok! Now THAT makes sense. Sorry, I misread.
shareI aim at 20-30 movies a month.
share15-20, not counting episodes of TV shows.

I tend to watch TV shows and YouTube more than movies these days, although I can't wait for the new Wallace and Gromit movie.
20-30
shareCheck out tubi Bill, you'd be surprised at what's there.
Plenty of movies I'd never heard of that are quite decent.
For me, about 4 to 10 a month.
21.8 according to Letterboxd,
