3. Go through my unwatched movies and watch as many of those as possible that count... starting with my Blu-ray Discs.
4. Watch as many Best Picture winners as possible. There SO many that I have never seen.
5. Watch as many movies as I can. This is obviously a given, but I felt I should include it.
