Hey, compañeros, and welcome back to The 300, a recurring feature on my imprudent attempt to watch 300 movies in theaters in the year 2018. I’ll be watching new releases, classics, hidden gems, and festival films to experience the wide world of cinema in all its forms. I hope there’s something here for you to enjoy and share as well.
As always, there are three rules for The 300:
- The movie must be at least 40 minutes long, meeting the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ definition of a feature film.
- I must watch the movie at a movie theater, screening room, or outdoor screening venue.
- While I can watch movies I’ve seen before 2018, I cannot count repeated viewings of the same film in 2018 multiple times.
You guys, I have hit 100 movies.
It’s a testament to the incredible film programming in New York City that I saw a lot of stuff in theaters and yet missed out on so much more. If it wasn’t for MoviePass, independent cinemas, and excellent repertory programming, I wouldn’t have hit triple digits at this rate. Here’s a shout-out to my go-to theaters. Thanks for being awesome.
- Metrograph - 26 films
- Quad Cinema - 13 films
- BAM Rose Cinemas - 13 films
- The Film Society of Lincoln Center - 10 films
- IFC Center - 5 films
- Angelika Film Center - 5 films
The next two installments of The 300 will be dedicated to coverage of the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival, which kicks off tonight and runs through April 29th. Jesse Lab and I will be reviewing many of the films screening at the 17th year of the fest. Be sure to visit Flixist for the next three weeks for all of our Tribeca Film Festival coverage.
And so, onward.
