Do you PLAN your movie watching? --How?--I DO

I will continue collecting and buying DVDs and Blu-rays, as long as it is possible and my interest for them are there, but due to the very special last few months, none of the movie stores I weekly travel to are open or have shut down for a long period, and I also have noticed how expensive the prices suddenly have gotten up to, through Amazon or similar internet sites, so I have used Youtube, which to my surprise have all these very hard to find/rare movies often lying there, and it is stupid not to take advantage of that, instead of blowing out lots of money on what will pretty much 9 out of 10 times be either a forgettable movie or a complete stinker.

So, I guess it is not a bad idea of stop wasting my money on far too many poor/terrible impulse purchases, but there are of course those films that are really good/great and I really want in my collection, and sometimes one of those more pleasant impulse buys, turns out to be quite a big success, and that is probably the main reason to why I will continue on, as far as it is possible off doing so.

I really try to do this, specially during the weekend, I will go through my movie collection, or look through the unseen/watched DVDs-Blu-rays, or try to search up on Youtube for titles that is very hard or just far too expensive to find or purchase, but have been in my watchlist for over a decade, and then pick it down to a certain amount of titles that I will or might have interest in seeing from friday to sunday night.

Of course, how I feel is also a very important factor, sometimes I am in the mood for just a very "simple" easy going entertainment, either comedy, over-the-top b-movie action or some teen-slasher from the 80s. But nowdays I feel not that "motivated" and end up with less planned titles/movies to see, and more in the "I just watch whatever comes to my mind", and right now, I also watch a lot of british crime series (Midsomer Murders, the one with John Nettles, not the other one) and read books, listen to music albums and I just do not have time to watch 3-5 movies a day, so carefully planning of what movies I will want to see, that might have to wait for a while. 

I do have big plans for july-august, hopefully, to go through lots of slasher and summer-themed related horror and comedies, specially from the 70s, 80s and early 90s, so I have sort of, my "work" cut out, but I also had huge plans of this, last summer, and it did not go down very well.

I used to buy DVD like crazy. I stopped when they forced you to buy the Blu-ray along with the DVD. I still do buy DVD now and then, but not often.

I get my movies from Netflix, TV, and other streaming services. I don't have a plan to watch movies. Lots of time, I usually just watch something on a whim, or something just pop on TV. In fact, I don't watch that many movies nowadays, more documentaries than movies. I do try to catch up on the recent movies during the year end from December to February, right around the Award season. I still go to the cinema maybe 2 to 3 times a year, only with friends.

That's my movie habit for now.

Normally I have a few ideas of what I'm thinking of watching next week, but then I read a little here and there and change my mind and watch other movies instead.

Movies I read about on this site that I think sounds interesting, I make a few notes about it the old fashioned way, pencil and paper.
