This set of films goes from September 26 through Halloween, 2003.
In the midst of all this was my first real date with a girl. I met her through my summer theatre camp, though we didn't do a show together, she was friends with friends of mine. Cute girl, dated two of my friends before me, we saw Runaway Jury.
I regretted it when she started making out with me. Good kisser, cute girl, don't get me wrong, but I was enjoying the movie and missed an important plot point, a blank that wouldn't be filled until, well, this year. That’s when I realized I was not a movie date guy, not for a first date, anyway, and definitely not for a first kiss. My best friend later told me the mistake was going to one I was interested in but I don’t think that matters. I love the movies, I want not just to watch them, but to tell you what I liked, what I hated, why something was good or bad! I think I would’ve felt the same frustration if we had seen, I don’t know, The Room. Cinema was already My Girl.
We split about a month later, amicably, and I never saw her again. Twenty years later, I saw Runaway Jury without interruption.
Thirteen films here. My first time watches were The Human Stain, In the Cut, Shattered Glass, and Under the Tuscan Sun. The only ones I saw multiple times before this were Mystic River, Kill Bill: Volume 1, and Intolerable Cruelty.
