this week on 100 Films
My review of last year finally came to an end this week over at 100 Films in a Year, with the following posts...
2019 Statistics
The Best & Worst of 2019
Finally for now, a look back at some Christmas TV...
More next Sunday.
2019 Statistics
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. No, not Christmas — that’s well and truly over now, isn’t it? No, I mean this — the day I publish my annual statistics post! As the guy who does the introductions to films at Odeon might say, “ooh, yeah, the statistics. I love the statistics.”Read more here.
The Best & Worst of 2019
Where others may do a top ten, or twenty, or fifty, nowadays I do a top 10%. This year I watched 151 films, so my ‘top ten’ has 15 films... As well as my favourite films I saw during 2019, this final review-of-the-year post also includes my least favourite films, as well as a list of 2019’s most noteworthy releases that I missed.Read more here.
Finally for now, a look back at some Christmas TV...

Zatoichi at Large (1972)
[2nd watch]
Rewatchathon 2020 #1. I first watched this last August, but didn't get round to reviewing it. Looking at it and my notes again the other day, I realised I didn't remember it in the slightest -- makes it a bit difficult to review, that. So here I am again.

Over at 100 Films in a Year, I'm part way through my review of last year. It all started with the usual look back at the last month...
...and has continued with these...
2019: The Full List
My Most-Read Posts of 2019
I would like to have had the entire review of the year up by now, but I've been busy this weekend. More of it next Sunday.

2019: The Full List
Here we are once again, dear readers: another year over, another long list of films. The final tally of new feature films I saw in 2019 is 151.Read more here.
My Most-Read Posts of 2019
2019 may’ve given us the highest grossing film of all time, but TV reviews once again dominate my most-viewed posts of the year... But this is still theoretically a film blog, so — as usual — I’ve compiled my five most-read TV posts and then my five most-read film reviews.Read more here.

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
Well, I say that -- it's been two weeks this time. It wasn't meant to be! As I mentioned last time, I always intended for this update to be a little late, to serve as my usual end-of-year totaliser. But then there was a lot to compile for it (I'd been getting tardy), so it gradually slipped even later than intended, eventually ending up a whole week late. Oops. But nothing's been added to my collection in the last few days, so it's still a wholly honest post-Christmas / end-of-2019 set of figures. Lovely.
And with that said, on with the numbers...
Number of titles in collection: 2,276 [up 4 this week; up 98 in 2019]
Of which DVDs: 1,124 [no change this week; down 21 in 2019]
Of which Blu-rays: 1,152 [up 4 this week; up 119 in 2019]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 37 [no change this week; up 28 in 2019]
Number of discs in collection: 5,932 [up 17 this week; up 310 in 2019]
Number of films: 2,667 [up 23 this week; up 181 in 2019]
Number of TV episodes: 8,693 [up 12 this week; up 365 in 2019]
Number of short films: 676 [no change this week; up 25 in 2019]
Total running time of collection (approx.):
434 days, 7 hours, and 3 minutes.
(Up 2 days, 21 hours, and 8 minutes from last month.)
(Up 19 days, 7 hours, and 40 minutes from last year.)
That's my smallest year-on-year running time increase since 2014 -- which was also the case last year, but this year it's even lower again. And, as I said then, it's good really, because I shouldn't buy so much stuff... but I'm gonna keep doing it!
And therefore, as ever, I'll see you next week, faithful reader.
