media movies

I’ve seen much more than my average movie quotient this year. In one recent calendar year, for example, I think I saw one movie in the theater (Return of the King). This year, I can think of nine!

I’ve read through IMDb’s list of top vote-getters and top grossers for 2005 and 2004, and I’m pretty sure I’m not leaving anything out. These are in very rough chronological order; I didn’t bother to look up the release dates, and it amuses me more to just rely on my memory.

  • Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (with Carrie when she visited DC; I don’t remember the date, but it was the same week as the National Geography Bee, as that’s why she was here)
  • Kingdom of Heaven (by myself, and I’m at a loss to remember when)
  • Sin City (with my friends)
  • Batman Begins (with Matt)
  • The 40-Year-Old Virgin (with my friends; also, please note I am using the DVD version of this movie’s titular hyphenation)
  • The Brothers Grimm (in Florida, with the Faughts and the Baxters, in August, when I went down for Timber’s baby shower)
  • Serenity (with my friends, opening weekend)
  • Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (in Florida, with my parents, on Thanksgiving Day)
  • The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe (with Matt, this past Sunday)

Edited to add: I just realized I’ve saved every movie ticket stub I’ve had since Wayne’s World in 1992. I do have all the dates. I even have the showtimes and the prices. I’ll get back to you.
