Movies, films, flicks

What I’ve watched when I’m not reading books.

A friend from college got me in the habit of saving my movie ticket stubs, and I have a glass mug stuffed with them, going back to the very early `90s. I've never really kept a running yearly tally before, however, until I was encouraged in 2007 by my pal Brent, who keeps his own tally of those sort of things.

* Multiple viewings of a film are not counted in the total.
