Last year I was inspired by Rachel of Helpless Whilst Drying who did a 100 Movie Challenge in 2016. I loved this idea and thought it would be something fun to do with my husband and lightly incorporate him into the blog. 100 movies sounded totally do-able, that’s basically 2 per week with a little bit of wiggle room. However, as you will see, we barely made it half way to our goal in 2017. I think this mostly has to do with how many television/Netflix series we watched (hello Stranger Things, Iron Fist, the Defenders, & Clone Wars to name a few). If you were to count in each individual episode of a television show we watched, we would have definitely made it. However, we did watch quite a few movies so let’s take a look of what we did watch!

3 Standout Movies

Robyn:

1. Logan | A wonderful way to wrap up Hugh Jackman’s portrayal of Wolverine. I don’t think there was anything about this movie that I didn’t like.
2. Wonder Woman | I went into this movie with the lowest of expectations given the last few movies in the DC Cinematic Universe but this movie blew me away. Wonder Woman proved why she was the standout character in Batman v. Superman.
3. The F Word | Harry Potter and Kylo Ren, nuff said. Kidding, this Canadian rom-com was both clever and funny. I highly recommend it if you haven’t seen it!

The Husband:

1. The Martian | I thought it was a surprisingly funny and clever movie. Matt Damon was perfect for this role
2. Guardian’s of the Galaxy, Volume 2 | Good marvel movie, not as good as the first but it lived up to my expectations.
3. Wonder Woman | One of my favourite DC movies of the past few years, everything was well done aside from the final battle.

Biggest Disappointment

Our biggest disappointment had to be Lego Batman we both agreed on this one. The trailers looked so funny and the original Lego Movie was great, but this just didn’t live up to the hype. I remember us struggling to make it through this mediocre at best movie.

While we didn’t make it to our goal, I think I am going to try again in 2017! Though instead of trying to hit 100 movies, I might treat it more like a movie round-up because I did enjoy keeping track of what we watched and then going over the list to decide what the stand-outs and disappointing movies were. I would like to see if I actually can reach 100 though, so we will see!
