Also, when you say new films, you mean films released in 2013 or films you were viewing for the first time in 2013?<br /><br />Given a choice, I have to admit to not only preferring to view fewer films in a year but also more films that aren't from just the years 2012 and 2013.

Seeing all these films would be an endurance test for most of us, especially seeing all those 3D films. Viewing Gravity made me nauseous, dizzy and left me with a three day migraine (I think they might be filming these at a faster FPS).<br /><br />The late New York film critic Andrew Billnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-22511490999774217222014-01-05T11:54:26.556+08:002014-01-05T11:54:26.556+08:00Happy New Year!

So glad that you had such a good proportion of good movies in that total you watched. <br /><br />And as ever, I'm realizing that I don't see a lot of movies! And especially not a lot of new movies.

And re there being worse jobs: I know but it's all not roses or great movies -- maybe next year, I'll include a stat of movies I've viewed in 2014 that I'd rate as a 5 or lower on the brns.com scale for people to see!<br /><br />Hi again Samson --<br /><br />Even better than watching "Summer Snow" on a YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-25807592874904539552014-01-04T09:11:58.288+08:002014-01-04T09:11:58.288+08:00YTSL, thanks for the link to the BRNS Scale.

I am SO jealous that you got to see Summer Snow on the big screen. <br /><br />And judging by the fact that you haven't seen the Lan Kwai Fong films, I am guessing they are actually not part of the 100 Must See Hong Kong Movies programme?! ; DSamsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-27552187479655048712014-01-04T07:49:22.504+08:002014-01-04T07:49:22.504+08:00Over 200 films.

Looking forward to the top-10 list! : D Just 3 questions please:<br /><br />1) Regarding the number of different territories whose films you viewed last year, shouldn't it be 32? (I see that Australia was not included.)<br /><br />2) Regarding the BRNS scale, the link takes me to the website but I can't seem to find the scale.
