100 (or more) Movies in 2024 Challenge!

[winner]

2024!

(From SW) Take part in a challenge to watch 100 or more movies this year (or set the bar to any other number that suits you best)!

How to take part? Well, it would be cool if you posted in this thread and kept a note of every movie you've seen each month.
January, February, and so on. It's the cleanest if you make one post and then edit it as you progress.

Feel free to post any comments or ratings related to the challenge, the movies you've seen etc.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

Only ended up watching 56 in 2023.
