It was another great year in movie-going in Los Angeles and beyond (from the comforts of home to the streets of New York!). I ended up seeing more than 300 films on the big screen, which was a lot more than last year’s tally. What can I say, I love seeing movies in movie theaters! I won’t dwell on the future of the movie industry… but I’ll just say I hope the theater experience remains. Anyway, I’m a few days late in posting my past year in review, so without further ado, here’s a look at the overall stats for my 2025 in film. You can take a look at all the movies I watched for the first time on my Letterboxd here, or go through my monthly entries here.
New-to-Me: 272
Re-Watched: 270*
*There were 9 movies that I watched twice in 2025, so I didn’t count them again in the grand total.
Total: 530*
*12 of my re-watches were also films I discovered in 2025, so they weren’t counted again in the grand total.
Movies Watched In Theaters (including re-watches): 325*
*This includes 11 movies I watched in theaters twice, as well as 2 movies I saw three times on the big screen.
