Movies I Watched in 2017

Happy New Year!

Since 2012, I've kept track of the films I've screened each year. This year I watched more movies than ever, as my Letterboxd statistics confirm:
As you can see, I watched a little over 600 films, comprising almost 675 hours of viewing. (Many of the films I view each year are shorts, some just a few minutes in length. This screen capture also shows the 2017 films that impressed me most, though of course most of the films I watched in 2017 weren't actually released in 2017.
Here's a breakdown of how many films I watched each week, and my favourite days for viewing films (Sunday by a long shot, as it turns out).
Only about eight percent of the films I watched this year were released in 2017. I reviewed only ten of them. I knocked 32 films off my watchlist, but added over 400. And here you can also see my ratings spread; I don't give out too many 4.5 or 5 star ratings.
Here are my most-watched actors and actresses of 2017. Charlie Chaplin and Edna Purviance are right up top thanks to my attempt to see all of Chaplin's films. I'm pretty close - just one or two left on the list. Sly Stallone is up there because I marathoned all the Rambo movies. Basil Rathbone ranks high on this list because I watched all of his Sherlock Holmes movies.
And here are the directors I followed in 2017. Alice Guy is one of the early pioneers of film, though she's not well-known to the general public today.
Three people liked my Logan review! Sweet validation. The most obscure film I watched, for those wondering, was The Medical Aspects of Nuclear Radiation (Unknown, 1950).

Letterboxd doesn't keep annual statistics on the release dates of the films I've watched, so here's the breakdown:

1890s: 61
1900s: 35
1910s: 35
1920s: 22
1930s: 42
1940s: 39
1950s: 63
1960s: 39
1970s: 42
1980s: 26
1990s: 20
2000s: 50

2010s: 148
