TV I Have Finished Or Stopped Watching in 2020
The Walking Dead(Technically didn't watch this in 2019 either but this year is when Joe and I finally officially called it that we just weren't going to watch the episodes we had stacked up!)
Arrow (I have watched this show from the very beginning, and was both sad and satisfied that it reached its conclusion. It had a lot of ups and downs through the years, both in terms of plot and quality, but it ended on the highest note. Oliver Queen saved his city.)
The Good Place(Oh what a gem of a show. It was SO SO wonderful and uplifting and life affirming. I've loved it from the start, and cried my little eyes out watching the finale. So good.)
Cheer (Netflix Original Series)(I honestly don't know if there will be more of this, but it seems like it was the perfect 1 season docu-series as it was so I kind of hope not and also might not watch if there is? Anyway this was really engaging for me after episode 3, and I was then ready to die for my Corsicana Navarro Cheer Babies. TEAM JERRY FOREVER.)
Jessica Jones (Netflix Original Series)(Finally finished watching this series. The last season was truly excellent. I'm sad that it ended, as it was (imho) the best of the Netflix Marvel shows. I would love for Trish to have a chance at a spin-off given her arc but I'm sure that's not happening. Anyway. Three cheers for this show.)
The Big Family Cooking Showdown (Netflix Original Series)(Technically haven't watched this since sometime in 2019 but I'm officially counting it fizzled out for us now.)
Dharma & Greg (Started 1/7/2020, Finished 4/9/2020)(This was overall a very cute little show. Dreadfully fatphobic at times, and sometimes the whole "WE ARE SO DIFFERENT!" thing got a bit old, but overall enjoyable. Seems like they didn't know it was ending based on that cliffhanger!)
Schitt's Creek(I AM SO SAD THIS IS OVER IT IS SO GOOD SO SO GOOD.It ended incredibly well, though. Loved it. LOVED it.)
Little Fires Everywhere (Hulu Original Series)(This was a terrific miniseries (unless they do a season 2 lol) that fully drew me in and I just LOVED IT. So good. Such high quality performances. Looking forward to reading the book soon.)
Will & Grace (I actually really enjoyed the reboot of this, and was sad it was ending. The finale, however, was deeply disappointing. It needed at minimum another 10 minutes and preferably 1 more episode. Spending a whole season leading to Will and Grace both having babies and then getting 0 babies at the end was frustrating to say the least.)
Fleabag (Started 4/28/2020, Finished 5/26/2020)(I join a small group of people who liked season 1 better than season 2, though acknowledge some of that is likely just the headspace I am in! Overall, very good show.)
Fuller House (Netflix Original Series)(I really enjoyed this trip back into nostalgia- while certainly not a great show, it often got me in my feels!)
She-Ra And The Princesses of Power (Netflix Original Series) (This was SUCH a well done series. I'm really sad it's over. It had the good stuff from the 80s but without nearly so much cheese. It's updated really well. LOVED the ending.)
Self-Made: Inspired by the Life of Madame CJ Walker (Netflix Original Series)(Really enjoyed this limited series and the mostly true story of Madame CJ Walker. I honestly wish it had been one episode longer and that it had stuck a little more to the truth. But I loved the performances! And wish I'd learned more about Madame Walker earlier.)
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D(I've watched this since the beginning and can't believe it's over! I'm going to miss this team a lot. I know it's unlikely for whatever reason but I wish they'd show up in the MCU later.)
The Mary Tyler Moore Show (Started 4/10/2020, Completed 10/15/2020)(Overall, really enjoyed this series. Some very frustrating fatphobia sprinkled through, and at times much too much Ted, and the finale was kind of sad, but overall- charming, witty, and rather progressive for its time. A very fun watch.)
Parenthood (Started 8/23/2020, Completed 8/21/2020)(Oh my gosh I loved everything about this show. There is a chance it is up there with my faves of all time. It's 10 hours later and I'm still reeling from the finale. Laughed, cried, had all the emotions ever. It's so good.)
GLOW (Netflix Original Series)(Really sad this show got canceled and double extra sad it was Covid that took it out. It was really unique and wonderful.)
Avatar: the Last Airbender (Started 9/5/2020, Completed 11/14/2020)(Re-Watch)(Show really held up incredibly well. It's SO good.)
Movies!
Movies Watched in 2020
Sister Act (1/5/2020)(Re-Watch)(First movie of 2020 and it was such a delight! It's been FOREVER since I'd seen it and I just adored it once more.)
Sister Act 2(1/10/20)(Re-Watch)(Slightly less strong than the original but still an absolute delight!)
Like A Boss(1/12/2020)(First theater movie of 2020! Laughed so hard I cried. More than once. SUCH a fun movie!!)
Hustlers (1/17/2020)(This was excellent. JLo did amazing work here, as did Constance Wu, as did everyone in this film.)
Long Shot (1/22/2020)(Very cute and fun! Perfect plane movie for when I felt shitty.)
Iron Man (1/25/2020)(Re-Watch)(I've decided to re-watch the MCU films in order, minus The Incredible Hulk cause it's trash. This movie holds up and is still thoroughly enjoyable!)
Aladdin (2019)(1/26/2020)(I actually really loved this remake. I liked the changes they made to freshen it up, and felt all the performances were excellent. My favorite of the live action remakes.)
Gloria Bell(2/1/2020)(Meh, this was not what I wanted it to be. It was slow and weird, with only the last 30 minutes or so being particularly enjoyable.)
Last Christmas (2/1/2020)(WHAT A DELIGHT. Loved this movie. It was so sweet and so sad and so good.)
The Kitchen(2/1/2020)(This was excellent! So strange to see Tiffany Haddish in particular in such a serious film- and she was great. Loved this and feel ready to be a mafia boss lady now!)
Yesterday (2/1/2020)(This was a sweet, fluffy, delight of a film. Really loved the concept and the execution.)
Iron Man 2 (2/5/2020)(Re-Watch)(I had forgotten practically all of this. It was really fun and entertaining and I'm excited to continue this MCU project!)
Thor (2/6/2020)(Re-Watch)(It stood out to me on re-watch how much funnier the Thor movies- and the character- have gotten since this one. This was very enjoyable, but not so much humorous!)
Toy Story 3(Re-Watch)(2/7/2020)(Needed to see this again before watching TS4, and goodness it was so good!! This whole series really maintained quality the whole way through.)
Toy Story 4(2/8/2020)(Provided this actually IS the last one (which I think it should be) they really stuck the landing. Having TS3 be the end of Andy's story, and TS4 the end of Woody's, was kind of perfect. A fun and touching movie!)
Inside Out (2/16/2020)(Re-Watch)(GOD I love this movie. Therapist dream movie!)
The Cloverfield Paradox (2/21/2020)(This was alright. Nothing amazing but not terrible, either!)
Sex and the City 2(2/21/2020)(Re-Watch)(Randomly decided to watch this. It's a garbage movie with several scenes that make it a little more worthwhile plus spending time with those women is a great comfort to me.)
Captain America: The First Avenger(2/23/2020)(Re-Watch)(This was much more entertaining than I remember it being! I thought it was dull the first time I saw it; not now! Great to see Steve Rogers before he was all bulked up and to see this great thread of I HATE BULLIES just from the very beginning.)
Knives Out(2/23/2020)(OMG this was GREAT. SO thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining and I did not at all guess what really happened and I was just delighted all the way through.)
Avengers (3/8/2020)(Re-Watch)(I was glad to see this holds up! Still thoroughly enjoyable, and now I'm through Phase 1 of the MCU! Looking forward to continuing soon.)
Iron Man 3(3/15/2020)(Re-Watch)(Very enjoyable again! Even though it doesn't have much to do with anything from previous movies, it was a really good follow up to Avengers as Tony struggles with PTSD and a different kind of fame post-NY happenings.)
Under the Tuscan Sun (3/16/2020)(Re-Watch)(First Coronavirus Forced Isolation Evening watch! Watched "with" a dear friend who had not seen it. Wonderful wonderful comfort movie!!!)
What If (3/19/2020)(What a cute little movie this was! Missed it when it first came out but ended up really enjoying it.)
The First Wives Club(3/21/2020)(Re-Watch)(Had a movie afternoon "With" some of my favorite women watching this! Oh it's such an iconic classic. I forgot how damn good every line and each cast member is. Really a terrific film.)
Thor: The Dark World(3/22/2020)(Re-Watch)(This was a bit of a let-down to be honest. It was fun enough, I guess, but also kind of dull? IDK just not as good as I remembered it!)
Soapdish(3/23/2020)(Coronavirus Movie Monday with my girl Alyson! Neither of us had seen this before and it was just a delight. Campy fun 90s goodness.)
Captain America: The Winter Soldier (3/28/2020)(Re-Watch)(Very solid movie that holds up quite well to re-watch!)
Guardians of the Galaxy (3/28/2020)(Re-Watch)(Also holds up super well! Love this movie.)
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (3/28/2020)(I had never seen this before and Joe hadn't seen it since he was a wee Joe, and it's a surreal delight is what it is! Loved it. Can't believe I hadn't seen it before as it was right in childhood Rachel's wheelhouse!)
Avengers: Age of Ultron (3/29/2020)(Re-Watch)(I know a lot of people who didn't love this one, but I really did. I adore so many of the relationships and moments and also adore Wanda particularly and am glad she and Vision are here now!)
Waiting to Exhale(3/31/2020)(Coronavirus Movie Monday on a Tuesday with my girl Alyson! I had never seen this classic before and I LOVED it and so did she. What a treat. What a cast. What a story. I think I'll add the novel to my to-read list now.)
Ant Man(4/4/2020)(Re-Watch)(Very enjoyable still! I love that it's 75% heist movie, 25% superhero origin story movie.)
Captain America: Civil War(4/5/2020)(Re-Watch)(This one is very high quality but makes me sad!! Although I enjoy the intro of Spiderman and the inclusion of Scott Lang with the Avengers this time, I hate that the team breaks up here. Cry. Cry.)
Onward (4/5/2020)(LOVED this. Grateful D+ put it out early given the pandemic. This was fun, sweet, poignant, and super clever. A combo of Harry Potter + Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade + D&D. Great times.)
Bridget Jones's Diary(4/6/2020)(Re-Watch)(Weekly Pandemic Movie Watch with Alyson! What a fun classic to revisit. Iconic. Truly.)
Doctor Strange (4/11/2020)(Re-Watch)(More enjoyable than I remembered to be honest! Fun movie. Enjoy the Cumberbatch in it quite a bit.)
Portrait of a Lady on Fire (4/12/2020)(This was SO beautiful! A lovely story and filmed in just remarkable ways. Really a lovely film.)
Can't Hardly Wait (4/13/2020)(Re-Watch)(Weekly Pandemic Movie Watch with Alyson! This movie is so fun oh my gosh. Love it forever.)
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2(4/18/2020)(Re-Watch)(I was shocked to see that I liked this one SO much better than the first one this time! Watching them weeks apart rather than years apart really highlighted that for me. Both good, but this one had way more heart.)
Parasite (4/19/2020)(Lived up to the hype! This movie was WILD. Utterly genre bending and I'm still thinking about it a day later. Loved it.)
Spellbound (4/20/2020)(Cute little documentary about the spelling bee that Alyson & I watched for Quarantine Movie Monday! Not my usual jam, but I really did enjoy this. It was lovely and calming. Go kids go!)
Spider-Man: Homecoming (4/26/2020)(Re-Watch)(They really did a great job with this Spidey relaunch. Embedding it within Captain America: Civil War and then having the first stand-alone adventure be POST origin story was brilliant, plus it's fun and feels like high school! Great job.)
The Laundromat (5/2/2020)(This was a kooky little true story film about shell corporations and corruptions. Enjoyable enough, certainly not a top 10 sort of thing, though.)
Thor: Ragnarok (5/3/2020)(Re-Watch)(The best of the Thor movies for sure; finally figured out humor + heart + action for this particular franchise. Very fun.)
Moana (5/3/2020)(Re-Watch)(An always favorite)
Booksmart (5/4/2020)(Monday Night Alyson Movie! Oh my gosh this was GREAT GREAT GREAT. Can't believe I hadn't seen it before. Loved it soooo much.)
The Hustle (5/9/2020)(This was fine, but not as good as I wanted and definitely let down Anne Hathaway & Rebel Wilson. Better for a sick day or a plane movie.)
Black Panther (5/10/2020)(Re-Watch)(Always amazing. One of the best.)
Blue Crush (5/11/2020)(Re-Watch)(Monday Night Alyson Movie! She'd never seen this classic. It was a little more tense than I remembered. Still thoroughly enjoyable!)
Sword in the Stone(5/15/2020)(Re-Watch)(Always a delight when I need a delight.)
To All the Boys: PS I Still Love You(5/16/2020)(VERY cute, much like the first! Didn't enjoy it quite as much as the first one, but still.. Lara Jean is the most adorable.)
Avengers: Infinity War(5/17/2020)(Re-Watch)(This is truly a very excellent and enjoyable MCU film, and I'm back to being mad at Peter Quill forever. I'm also excited to continue this journey through the last 4 movies, and this was the first time in awhile I wanted to watch another one right away!)
Big (5/18/2020)(Somehow, this was the first time I had seen this classic movie. It was overall wonderful and delightful and joyous, with unfortunate "accidentally fucking a 13 year old" moments. Ahh, the 80s.)
Never Been Kissed (5/19/2020)(Re-Watch)(Weekly movie with Alyson!! She had never seen this and I LOVE IT SO MUCH so I was thrilled to watch "with" her.)
Ant-Man and the Wasp (5/23/2020)(Re-Watch)(While not quite as good as Ant-Man, this is still thoroughly enjoyable. Looking forward to Captain Marvel soon!!)
Miss Congeniality (5/29/2020)(Re-Watch)(Watched with my girl Alyson, who had somehow never seen this. Still so good!!)
Captain Marvel (5/31/2020)(Re-Watch)(SUCH a good movie. The moment she realizes she keeps getting up.... so amazing. And now just 2 more movies to go in my great MCU rewatch! Technically 1 since I haven't seen Spider-Man Far From Home yet!)
The Hundred Foot Journey(6/1/2020)(Re-Watch)(Watched this for Monday Movie Night with Alyson. She hadn't seen it. It's so lovely and soothing and beautiful and filled with food!)
If Beale Street Could Talk(6/5/2020)(This was a beautiful and powerful movie that did a wonderful job highlighting police abuse of black Americans. Performers were amazing.)
Avengers: Endgame (6/7/2020)(Re-Watch)(There is a big part of me that's sad this rewatch of all of MCU is over! It was fun. This movie is, overall, an excellent conclusion to an incredible arc of stories. Looking forward to watching Spider-Man: Far From Home for the first time next weekend!)
Emma (2020 version) (6/8/2020)(Watched this "with" a couple of girlfriends. Very lovely but not as fun or funny as I wanted it to be, sadly.)
The Death & Life of Marsha P. Johnson(6/14/2020)(This was very well done and informative. I was glad to learn more about this iconic woman, in addition to Sylvia Rivera.)
Spider-Man: Far From Home (6/14/2020)(This was GREAT! So fun, so engaging, and really a great follow-up for Endgame, which was certainly a hard act to follow. This had a lot of heart. And thus ends my Great Marvel Watch of Covid-19, heh.)
Twister (6/15/2020)(Re-Watch)(This movie is so fun and wild and ridiculous and intense!)
Failure to Launch(6/22/2020)(Re-Watch)(Such a fun movie for Monday Night Movie Night w/ Alyson! Very cute and enjoyable.)
Lilo & Stitch (6/26/2020)(Re-Watch)(6-26 movie! I love this film so much. It's so underrated and needs to be better celebrated in the Disney canon.)
Just Mercy(6/27/2020)(This was an exceptional film. Very moving, powerful, well done, thought-provoking. Grateful to have watched.)
Igby Goes Down (6/29/2020)(Monday Night Movie with Alyson! This was WEIRD AF. Great cast, though.)
Hamilton (7/3/2020)(Twice)(Having this available on Disney+, whenever I need it, is such a gift. The original cast truly is exceptional. Can't wait to watch it again...it's only a matter of time.)
Girl's Trip (7/6/2020 & 7/21/2020)(Re-Watch)(I *love* this movie! Great one for a Monday night with Alyson. She had to stop with half an hour left, so I finally finished it on 7/21. But it's just so wonderful.)
Heartbreakers(7/14/2020)(Re-Watch)(This held up decently well! Weekly movie with Alyson. Lots of fun. I miss Jason Lee!)
Honey I Shrunk the Kid(7/18/2020(Re-Watch)(I had not watched this since childhood. Man, 80s movies put kids through SOME TRAUMA! Dang! Poor Anty.)
Her(7/27/2020 ad 7/28/2020)(Finally watched this as it was leaving Netflix, and I'm very glad I did! It was quirky and odd, and I actually really enjoyed it.)'
Miss Americana (7/31/2020)(This gave me more appreciation and understanding of Taylor Swift, how incredibly young she has been, and all the work she does. Enjoyed it a lot.)
Casper (7/31/2020)(Re-Watch)(Holds up! My inner 15 year old still swoons over Devon Sawa, and the movie is still adorable.)
Rookie of the Year(8/1/2020)(Re-Watch)(Also holds up! Still very fun and enjoyable and silly.)
Death Becomes Her (8/4/2020)(Re-Watch)(One of my all time favorite campy movies, and I got to introduce Alyson to it! Woot!!)
The Jungle Book(8/7/2020)(Re-Watch)(I don't know when I'd last seen this class Disney movie, but watched it with Joe and it was pretty decent! Not super exciting, but some good music and cute stuff happened.)
Dolemite is My Name(8/8/2020)(Kicked off a movie day with this one. Wasn't sure it was going to be for me, but I ended up enjoying and appreciating it a lot.)
Peanut Butter Falcon(8/8/2020)(This was WONDERFUL. Adorable, sweet story that I loved a lot.)
Desperados(8/8/2020)(Deeply predictable romcom. Some funny cute moments. The lead character was deeply deeply unlikeable. It was alright.)
Work It(8/8/2020)(Deeply predictable dance movie, but fun and comforting all in the right ways. Could see myself rewatching this one.)
Like a Boss(8/8/2020)(Re-Watch)(Ended my movie day with one I knew I liked. Loved it again. Tiffany Haddish is just the best.)
Mona Lisa Smile (8/17/2020)(Re-Watch)(Monday Night Movie with Alyson is back! Huzzah. Love this one. It'd been a long time sense I had seen it and it hits harder now that I've started educating myself more on the oppression of white feminism.)
Steel Magnolias (8/24/2020)(Re-Watch)(Oh this movie is one of the greatest of all time. Wonderful Monday movie with Alyson!!)
Tucker & Dale vs Evil (8/28/2020)(Re-Watch)(This is a ridiculous movie but it's fun. The price I paid for letting Joe choose the movie last night lol!)
42(8/29/2020)(Watched this for this first time upon learning of Chadwick Boseman's death. My heart couldn't handle Black Panther but it needed something of his. This was a very good film and I'm glad I watched it. Hard content, important content.)
A Knight's Tale (8/30/2020)(Re-Watch)(Literally always a delight. Always.)
The Intern(8/31/2020)(Monday night movie with Alyson! This was a sweet delight of a movie, nothing too tense, and just rode the hell out of the DeNiro/Hathaway charm.)
Sweet Home Alabama(9/1/2020)(Re-Watch)(Caught this on tv at my beach hotel. Love it always!)
Palm Springs(9/2/2020)(This was NOT your average rom-com! This movie was fun and twisty and unexpected and wild as hell. Thoroughly enjoyed.)
Wild (9/4/2020)(I've been wanting to watch this for years, since I read and loved the book. I really enjoyed the movie, as well! Yay for Reese Witherspoon!)
The Mighty Ducks(9/5/2020)(Re-Watch)(A forever fave.)
Uptown Girls(9/7/2020)(Re-Watch)(This was MUCH sadder than I remembered it being, but still a great Monday Night Movie with Alyson!)
Love, Guaranteed(9/9/2020)(Meh. Disappointing new Netflix rom-com.)
Legally Blonde(9/12/2020)(Re-Watch)(A classic. Love it.)
Legally Blonde 2 (9/15/2020)(Re-Watch)(Not the masterpiece of the first but still a fun and silly and super extra film.)
The Devil Wears Prada (9/24/2020)(Re-Watch)(I feel differently about this movie than I used to! Watched with Alyson, had not seen it in forever, and was surprised to find how much I was angry with Andi's boyfriend and friends for being completely unsupportive of her changing as a person. There are amazing iconic performances in this movie, and it's thoroughly enjoyable, and it has some not so good messages. Plus good God the body shaming.)
Hocus Pocus(9/26/2020)(Re-Watch)(HP Night is the best night!!)
Casper(9/26/2020)(Re-Watch)(A little too slow of a drinking game sadly. Still a cute movie lol.)
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days(Re-Watch)(A perfect film for Movie Night w/ Alyson, frankly. Perfect.)
The Secret Life of Pets 2 (10/3/2020)(This was SO funny and adorable and cute!!!)
Back to the Future (10/7/2020)(Re-Watch)(This movie held up super well and I really enjoyed revisiting it!)
Back to the Future Part II(10/17/2020)(Re-Watch)(This also held up!! Not as funny as the first one, but more intense. Looking forward to watching BTTF3 sometime soon.)
The Wedding Planner (10/19/2020)(Re-Watch)(This is an adequate early 00's rom-com but only because Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Lopez could have chemistry with potted plants if necessary. Certainly weaker than many. But fun for a Movie Night.)
Practical Magic (10/26/2020)(Re-Watch)(Love this movie. It's critically underrated but just a delight. Perfect Monday Night Movie with Alyson, perfect kick-off to Spooky Week!)
9 to 5(10/28/2020)(What a fun and cute movie!! Can't believe I've never seen it before.)
The Craft: Legacy(10/30/2020)(UGH this was so bad. I'm so annoyed.)
The Witches (2020)(10/30/2020)(Very cute and fun and a little creepy, too. Enjoyed this one!)
The Nightmare Before Christmas(11/1/2020)(Re-Watch)(An excellent day after Halloween movie! I only kind of half watched cause multi-tasking but it's always very lovely.)
Because I Said So (11/5/2020)(I can't remember if I've seen this before, but it was VERY cute and enjoyable.)
Three Men & A Baby (11/5/2020)(Re-Watch)(I love this movie and I forgot how much. It's adorable. Mostly holds up.)
The Holidate (11/5/2020)(First holiday movie of the year! SO cute.)
Three Men and a Little Lady (11/6/2020)(Re-Watch)(Loved revisiting this franchise. I don't know how it could be revisited but I would total watch a new one lol)
Jumanji: The Next Level (11/6/2020)(This was quite fun! They did a great job with these sequels. Won't be mad if there are more!)
Operation Christmas Drop (11/7/2020)(Glad I broke my usual "no Christmas until after Thanksgiving" rule as this was lovely and cute and adorable.)
Hidden Figures (11/7/2020)(Re-Watch)(This is such a great, inspirational movie. So good.)
Back to the Future Part III(11/7/2020)(Re-Watch)(It is wild to me how well this series works, when it is truly repeated jokes and characters in multiple timelines. LOL. But it does!)
Easy A(11/8/2020)(This was SO GOOD! I'm shocked I hadn't seen it before. Loved it.)
Midnight at the Magnolia(11/8/2020)(Yet another Christmas movie! This was my favorite one so far. And technically more of a New Year's movie haha. But very sweet.)
The Christmas Wedding Planner(11/9/2020)(This was fine. Cute. Least favorite of my early Christmas movies.)
Let it Snow (11/9/2020)(Re-Watch)(Excellent Monday Night Movie with Alyson! Liked it even more on re-watch. So lovely.)
The Holiday Calendar(11/14/2020)(This was very cute! Adorable in all the ways Christmas movies should be, plus a dash of Christmas magic!)
The Princess Switch (11/15/2020)(Re-Watch)(One of my fave Netflix Original Christmas movies; I re-watched in prep for the sequel coming this year. So cute.)
The Family Stone(11/17/2020)(Re-Watch)(Not always one of my faves but watching it as the weekly Alyson movie made it better! I enjoyed it much more thoroughly this time.)
The Princess Switch 2: Switched Again(11/19/2020)(I have been waiting for this sequel for 2 years and it did not disappoint!! So fun and so silly and I loved it.)
A Princess for Christmas (11/22/2020)(This was not good but was ridiculous and silly and fun to watch!)
A Bad Moms Christmas(11/23/2020)(Re-Watch)(This movie is so dang funny. Cracks me up. Love it!)
Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey(11/26/2020)(OMG I loved this. It was so fun and so well done!!!)
Christmas with the Kranks(11/27/2020)(Re-Watch)(A fun movie for right after Black Friday shopping when you're exhausted! It's just silly lol)
The Knight Before Christmas(11/28/2020)(Re-Watch)(A truly silly and fun movie. Love it.)
The Land Before Time(11/28/2020)(Re-Watch)(A long term fave that I'm very happy holds up- although it is much shorter than I recall lol. Fun kick off to Dino Movie Day with a friend!)
Jurassic Park(11/28/2020)(Re-Watch)(ALSO happy to report this fully holds up- hell, the CGI and animatronics even still look great.)
We're Back: A Dinosaur Story(11/28/2020)(This movie was wild as hell! So fun.)
Happiest Season(11/29/2020)(Sigh. Sad to report this honestly wasn't very good- engaging and the cast was fantastic, but there were serious character and plot/pacing problems.)
The Christmas Chronicles(12/5/2020)(New to me this year, and really very lovely! Except for the incredible amounts of fatphobia displayed by, of all people, Santa Claus.)
A Chipmunk Christmas(12/5/2020)(Re-Watch)(one of my childhood faves!)

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation(12/11/2020)(Re-Watch)(Annual favorite, this time watched outside projected on to a friend's house's wall!)
The Christmas Chronicles 2(12/12/2020)(This was adorable; I actually liked it a smidge better than the first one.)
Home Alone(12/12/2020)(Re-Watch)(Annual drinking game; this time I got totally trashed early!)
Crazy Rich Asians (12/13/2020)(Re-Watch)(A little break from Christmas movies to revisit this super fun movie!)
To Grandmother's House We Go(12/13/2020)(Re-Watch)(Can't say this is good, but the Olsen twins sure were cute back in the day!)
The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause(12/13/2020)(Re-Watch)(Still not quite as good as the first, but much better than the second one!)
Dolly Parton's Christmas on the Square(12/14/2020)(This was wild and weird and so very heavily Christian and just.... a lot. I don't think it'll be on my re-watch list but I'm glad I went in cold and glad I saw it once.)
Elf(12/16/2020)(Re-Watch)(An annual fave!)
A Very Brady Christmas(12/17/2020)(Re-Watch)(I have seen this before but it has been FOREVER. It's very Brady indeed. Cute.)

This Christmas(12/20/2020)(Really enjoyed this one; good family drama within a Christmas movie.)

'Twas the Night Before Christmas (12/24/2020)(Re-Watch)(Annual must watch; one of my all time favorite Christmas specials.)
Wonder Woman(12/25/2020)(Re-Watch)(I really enjoy the WW franchise within DC movies!)
Wonder Woman 1984 (12/25/2020)(I really liked this overall. Not perfect, but I enjoyed it thoroughly.)
Pygmalion(12/26/2020)(Wow Henry Higgins is trash and 1938 was a terrible example of romance and ugh!)
Noelle(12/27/2020)(This was actually REALLY cute and fun and clever!)
Blast from the Past(12/28/2020)(Re-Watch)(Was glad to learn this movie totally holds up as super cute and fun with an awesome soundtrack!)

TV I Have Finished Or Stopped Watching in 2020
The Walking Dead(Technically didn't watch this in 2019 either but this year is when Joe and I finally officially called it that we just weren't going to watch the episodes we had stacked up!)
Arrow (I have watched this show from the very beginning, and was both sad and satisfied that it reached its conclusion. It had a lot of ups and downs through the years, both in terms of plot and quality, but it ended on the highest note. Oliver Queen saved his city.)
The Good Place(Oh what a gem of a show. It was SO SO wonderful and uplifting and life affirming. I've loved it from the start, and cried my little eyes out watching the finale. So good.)
Cheer (Netflix Original Series)(I honestly don't know if there will be more of this, but it seems like it was the perfect 1 season docu-series as it was so I kind of hope not and also might not watch if there is? Anyway this was really engaging for me after episode 3, and I was then ready to die for my Corsicana Navarro Cheer Babies. TEAM JERRY FOREVER.)
Jessica Jones (Netflix Original Series)(Finally finished watching this series. The last season was truly excellent. I'm sad that it ended, as it was (imho) the best of the Netflix Marvel shows. I would love for Trish to have a chance at a spin-off given her arc but I'm sure that's not happening. Anyway. Three cheers for this show.)
The Big Family Cooking Showdown (Netflix Original Series)(Technically haven't watched this since sometime in 2019 but I'm officially counting it fizzled out for us now.)
Dharma & Greg (Started 1/7/2020, Finished 4/9/2020)(This was overall a very cute little show. Dreadfully fatphobic at times, and sometimes the whole "WE ARE SO DIFFERENT!" thing got a bit old, but overall enjoyable. Seems like they didn't know it was ending based on that cliffhanger!)
Schitt's Creek(I AM SO SAD THIS IS OVER IT IS SO GOOD SO SO GOOD.It ended incredibly well, though. Loved it. LOVED it.)
Little Fires Everywhere (Hulu Original Series)(This was a terrific miniseries (unless they do a season 2 lol) that fully drew me in and I just LOVED IT. So good. Such high quality performances. Looking forward to reading the book soon.)
Will & Grace (I actually really enjoyed the reboot of this, and was sad it was ending. The finale, however, was deeply disappointing. It needed at minimum another 10 minutes and preferably 1 more episode. Spending a whole season leading to Will and Grace both having babies and then getting 0 babies at the end was frustrating to say the least.)
Fleabag (Started 4/28/2020, Finished 5/26/2020)(I join a small group of people who liked season 1 better than season 2, though acknowledge some of that is likely just the headspace I am in! Overall, very good show.)
Fuller House (Netflix Original Series)(I really enjoyed this trip back into nostalgia- while certainly not a great show, it often got me in my feels!)
She-Ra And The Princesses of Power (Netflix Original Series) (This was SUCH a well done series. I'm really sad it's over. It had the good stuff from the 80s but without nearly so much cheese. It's updated really well. LOVED the ending.)
Self-Made: Inspired by the Life of Madame CJ Walker (Netflix Original Series)(Really enjoyed this limited series and the mostly true story of Madame CJ Walker. I honestly wish it had been one episode longer and that it had stuck a little more to the truth. But I loved the performances! And wish I'd learned more about Madame Walker earlier.)
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D(I've watched this since the beginning and can't believe it's over! I'm going to miss this team a lot. I know it's unlikely for whatever reason but I wish they'd show up in the MCU later.)
The Mary Tyler Moore Show (Started 4/10/2020, Completed 10/15/2020)(Overall, really enjoyed this series. Some very frustrating fatphobia sprinkled through, and at times much too much Ted, and the finale was kind of sad, but overall- charming, witty, and rather progressive for its time. A very fun watch.)
Parenthood (Started 8/23/2020, Completed 8/21/2020)(Oh my gosh I loved everything about this show. There is a chance it is up there with my faves of all time. It's 10 hours later and I'm still reeling from the finale. Laughed, cried, had all the emotions ever. It's so good.)
GLOW (Netflix Original Series)(Really sad this show got canceled and double extra sad it was Covid that took it out. It was really unique and wonderful.)
Avatar: the Last Airbender (Started 9/5/2020, Completed 11/14/2020)(Re-Watch)(Show really held up incredibly well. It's SO good.)
Movies!
Movies Watched in 2020
Sister Act (1/5/2020)(Re-Watch)(First movie of 2020 and it was such a delight! It's been FOREVER since I'd seen it and I just adored it once more.)
Sister Act 2(1/10/20)(Re-Watch)(Slightly less strong than the original but still an absolute delight!)
Like A Boss(1/12/2020)(First theater movie of 2020! Laughed so hard I cried. More than once. SUCH a fun movie!!)
Hustlers (1/17/2020)(This was excellent. JLo did amazing work here, as did Constance Wu, as did everyone in this film.)
Long Shot (1/22/2020)(Very cute and fun! Perfect plane movie for when I felt shitty.)
Iron Man (1/25/2020)(Re-Watch)(I've decided to re-watch the MCU films in order, minus The Incredible Hulk cause it's trash. This movie holds up and is still thoroughly enjoyable!)
Aladdin (2019)(1/26/2020)(I actually really loved this remake. I liked the changes they made to freshen it up, and felt all the performances were excellent. My favorite of the live action remakes.)
Gloria Bell(2/1/2020)(Meh, this was not what I wanted it to be. It was slow and weird, with only the last 30 minutes or so being particularly enjoyable.)
Last Christmas (2/1/2020)(WHAT A DELIGHT. Loved this movie. It was so sweet and so sad and so good.)
The Kitchen(2/1/2020)(This was excellent! So strange to see Tiffany Haddish in particular in such a serious film- and she was great. Loved this and feel ready to be a mafia boss lady now!)
Yesterday (2/1/2020)(This was a sweet, fluffy, delight of a film. Really loved the concept and the execution.)
Iron Man 2 (2/5/2020)(Re-Watch)(I had forgotten practically all of this. It was really fun and entertaining and I'm excited to continue this MCU project!)
Thor (2/6/2020)(Re-Watch)(It stood out to me on re-watch how much funnier the Thor movies- and the character- have gotten since this one. This was very enjoyable, but not so much humorous!)
Toy Story 3(Re-Watch)(2/7/2020)(Needed to see this again before watching TS4, and goodness it was so good!! This whole series really maintained quality the whole way through.)
Toy Story 4(2/8/2020)(Provided this actually IS the last one (which I think it should be) they really stuck the landing. Having TS3 be the end of Andy's story, and TS4 the end of Woody's, was kind of perfect. A fun and touching movie!)
Inside Out (2/16/2020)(Re-Watch)(GOD I love this movie. Therapist dream movie!)
The Cloverfield Paradox (2/21/2020)(This was alright. Nothing amazing but not terrible, either!)
Sex and the City 2(2/21/2020)(Re-Watch)(Randomly decided to watch this. It's a garbage movie with several scenes that make it a little more worthwhile plus spending time with those women is a great comfort to me.)
Captain America: The First Avenger(2/23/2020)(Re-Watch)(This was much more entertaining than I remember it being! I thought it was dull the first time I saw it; not now! Great to see Steve Rogers before he was all bulked up and to see this great thread of I HATE BULLIES just from the very beginning.)
Knives Out(2/23/2020)(OMG this was GREAT. SO thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining and I did not at all guess what really happened and I was just delighted all the way through.)
Avengers (3/8/2020)(Re-Watch)(I was glad to see this holds up! Still thoroughly enjoyable, and now I'm through Phase 1 of the MCU! Looking forward to continuing soon.)
Iron Man 3(3/15/2020)(Re-Watch)(Very enjoyable again! Even though it doesn't have much to do with anything from previous movies, it was a really good follow up to Avengers as Tony struggles with PTSD and a different kind of fame post-NY happenings.)
Under the Tuscan Sun (3/16/2020)(Re-Watch)(First Coronavirus Forced Isolation Evening watch! Watched "with" a dear friend who had not seen it. Wonderful wonderful comfort movie!!!)
What If (3/19/2020)(What a cute little movie this was! Missed it when it first came out but ended up really enjoying it.)
The First Wives Club(3/21/2020)(Re-Watch)(Had a movie afternoon "With" some of my favorite women watching this! Oh it's such an iconic classic. I forgot how damn good every line and each cast member is. Really a terrific film.)
Thor: The Dark World(3/22/2020)(Re-Watch)(This was a bit of a let-down to be honest. It was fun enough, I guess, but also kind of dull? IDK just not as good as I remembered it!)
Soapdish(3/23/2020)(Coronavirus Movie Monday with my girl Alyson! Neither of us had seen this before and it was just a delight. Campy fun 90s goodness.)
Captain America: The Winter Soldier (3/28/2020)(Re-Watch)(Very solid movie that holds up quite well to re-watch!)
Guardians of the Galaxy (3/28/2020)(Re-Watch)(Also holds up super well! Love this movie.)
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (3/28/2020)(I had never seen this before and Joe hadn't seen it since he was a wee Joe, and it's a surreal delight is what it is! Loved it. Can't believe I hadn't seen it before as it was right in childhood Rachel's wheelhouse!)
Avengers: Age of Ultron (3/29/2020)(Re-Watch)(I know a lot of people who didn't love this one, but I really did. I adore so many of the relationships and moments and also adore Wanda particularly and am glad she and Vision are here now!)
Waiting to Exhale(3/31/2020)(Coronavirus Movie Monday on a Tuesday with my girl Alyson! I had never seen this classic before and I LOVED it and so did she. What a treat. What a cast. What a story. I think I'll add the novel to my to-read list now.)
Ant Man(4/4/2020)(Re-Watch)(Very enjoyable still! I love that it's 75% heist movie, 25% superhero origin story movie.)
Captain America: Civil War(4/5/2020)(Re-Watch)(This one is very high quality but makes me sad!! Although I enjoy the intro of Spiderman and the inclusion of Scott Lang with the Avengers this time, I hate that the team breaks up here. Cry. Cry.)
Onward (4/5/2020)(LOVED this. Grateful D+ put it out early given the pandemic. This was fun, sweet, poignant, and super clever. A combo of Harry Potter + Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade + D&D. Great times.)
Bridget Jones's Diary(4/6/2020)(Re-Watch)(Weekly Pandemic Movie Watch with Alyson! What a fun classic to revisit. Iconic. Truly.)
Doctor Strange (4/11/2020)(Re-Watch)(More enjoyable than I remembered to be honest! Fun movie. Enjoy the Cumberbatch in it quite a bit.)
Portrait of a Lady on Fire (4/12/2020)(This was SO beautiful! A lovely story and filmed in just remarkable ways. Really a lovely film.)
Can't Hardly Wait (4/13/2020)(Re-Watch)(Weekly Pandemic Movie Watch with Alyson! This movie is so fun oh my gosh. Love it forever.)
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2(4/18/2020)(Re-Watch)(I was shocked to see that I liked this one SO much better than the first one this time! Watching them weeks apart rather than years apart really highlighted that for me. Both good, but this one had way more heart.)
Parasite (4/19/2020)(Lived up to the hype! This movie was WILD. Utterly genre bending and I'm still thinking about it a day later. Loved it.)
Spellbound (4/20/2020)(Cute little documentary about the spelling bee that Alyson & I watched for Quarantine Movie Monday! Not my usual jam, but I really did enjoy this. It was lovely and calming. Go kids go!)
Spider-Man: Homecoming (4/26/2020)(Re-Watch)(They really did a great job with this Spidey relaunch. Embedding it within Captain America: Civil War and then having the first stand-alone adventure be POST origin story was brilliant, plus it's fun and feels like high school! Great job.)
The Laundromat (5/2/2020)(This was a kooky little true story film about shell corporations and corruptions. Enjoyable enough, certainly not a top 10 sort of thing, though.)
Thor: Ragnarok (5/3/2020)(Re-Watch)(The best of the Thor movies for sure; finally figured out humor + heart + action for this particular franchise. Very fun.)
Moana (5/3/2020)(Re-Watch)(An always favorite)
Booksmart (5/4/2020)(Monday Night Alyson Movie! Oh my gosh this was GREAT GREAT GREAT. Can't believe I hadn't seen it before. Loved it soooo much.)
The Hustle (5/9/2020)(This was fine, but not as good as I wanted and definitely let down Anne Hathaway & Rebel Wilson. Better for a sick day or a plane movie.)
Black Panther (5/10/2020)(Re-Watch)(Always amazing. One of the best.)
Blue Crush (5/11/2020)(Re-Watch)(Monday Night Alyson Movie! She'd never seen this classic. It was a little more tense than I remembered. Still thoroughly enjoyable!)
Sword in the Stone(5/15/2020)(Re-Watch)(Always a delight when I need a delight.)
To All the Boys: PS I Still Love You(5/16/2020)(VERY cute, much like the first! Didn't enjoy it quite as much as the first one, but still.. Lara Jean is the most adorable.)
Avengers: Infinity War(5/17/2020)(Re-Watch)(This is truly a very excellent and enjoyable MCU film, and I'm back to being mad at Peter Quill forever. I'm also excited to continue this journey through the last 4 movies, and this was the first time in awhile I wanted to watch another one right away!)
Big (5/18/2020)(Somehow, this was the first time I had seen this classic movie. It was overall wonderful and delightful and joyous, with unfortunate "accidentally fucking a 13 year old" moments. Ahh, the 80s.)
Never Been Kissed (5/19/2020)(Re-Watch)(Weekly movie with Alyson!! She had never seen this and I LOVE IT SO MUCH so I was thrilled to watch "with" her.)
Ant-Man and the Wasp (5/23/2020)(Re-Watch)(While not quite as good as Ant-Man, this is still thoroughly enjoyable. Looking forward to Captain Marvel soon!!)
Miss Congeniality (5/29/2020)(Re-Watch)(Watched with my girl Alyson, who had somehow never seen this. Still so good!!)
Captain Marvel (5/31/2020)(Re-Watch)(SUCH a good movie. The moment she realizes she keeps getting up.... so amazing. And now just 2 more movies to go in my great MCU rewatch! Technically 1 since I haven't seen Spider-Man Far From Home yet!)
The Hundred Foot Journey(6/1/2020)(Re-Watch)(Watched this for Monday Movie Night with Alyson. She hadn't seen it. It's so lovely and soothing and beautiful and filled with food!)
If Beale Street Could Talk(6/5/2020)(This was a beautiful and powerful movie that did a wonderful job highlighting police abuse of black Americans. Performers were amazing.)
Avengers: Endgame (6/7/2020)(Re-Watch)(There is a big part of me that's sad this rewatch of all of MCU is over! It was fun. This movie is, overall, an excellent conclusion to an incredible arc of stories. Looking forward to watching Spider-Man: Far From Home for the first time next weekend!)
Emma (2020 version) (6/8/2020)(Watched this "with" a couple of girlfriends. Very lovely but not as fun or funny as I wanted it to be, sadly.)
The Death & Life of Marsha P. Johnson(6/14/2020)(This was very well done and informative. I was glad to learn more about this iconic woman, in addition to Sylvia Rivera.)
Spider-Man: Far From Home (6/14/2020)(This was GREAT! So fun, so engaging, and really a great follow-up for Endgame, which was certainly a hard act to follow. This had a lot of heart. And thus ends my Great Marvel Watch of Covid-19, heh.)
Twister (6/15/2020)(Re-Watch)(This movie is so fun and wild and ridiculous and intense!)
Failure to Launch(6/22/2020)(Re-Watch)(Such a fun movie for Monday Night Movie Night w/ Alyson! Very cute and enjoyable.)
Lilo & Stitch (6/26/2020)(Re-Watch)(6-26 movie! I love this film so much. It's so underrated and needs to be better celebrated in the Disney canon.)
Just Mercy(6/27/2020)(This was an exceptional film. Very moving, powerful, well done, thought-provoking. Grateful to have watched.)
Igby Goes Down (6/29/2020)(Monday Night Movie with Alyson! This was WEIRD AF. Great cast, though.)
Hamilton (7/3/2020)(Twice)(Having this available on Disney+, whenever I need it, is such a gift. The original cast truly is exceptional. Can't wait to watch it again...it's only a matter of time.)
Girl's Trip (7/6/2020 & 7/21/2020)(Re-Watch)(I *love* this movie! Great one for a Monday night with Alyson. She had to stop with half an hour left, so I finally finished it on 7/21. But it's just so wonderful.)
Heartbreakers(7/14/2020)(Re-Watch)(This held up decently well! Weekly movie with Alyson. Lots of fun. I miss Jason Lee!)
Honey I Shrunk the Kid(7/18/2020(Re-Watch)(I had not watched this since childhood. Man, 80s movies put kids through SOME TRAUMA! Dang! Poor Anty.)
Her(7/27/2020 ad 7/28/2020)(Finally watched this as it was leaving Netflix, and I'm very glad I did! It was quirky and odd, and I actually really enjoyed it.)'
Miss Americana (7/31/2020)(This gave me more appreciation and understanding of Taylor Swift, how incredibly young she has been, and all the work she does. Enjoyed it a lot.)
Casper (7/31/2020)(Re-Watch)(Holds up! My inner 15 year old still swoons over Devon Sawa, and the movie is still adorable.)
Rookie of the Year(8/1/2020)(Re-Watch)(Also holds up! Still very fun and enjoyable and silly.)
Death Becomes Her (8/4/2020)(Re-Watch)(One of my all time favorite campy movies, and I got to introduce Alyson to it! Woot!!)
The Jungle Book(8/7/2020)(Re-Watch)(I don't know when I'd last seen this class Disney movie, but watched it with Joe and it was pretty decent! Not super exciting, but some good music and cute stuff happened.)
Dolemite is My Name(8/8/2020)(Kicked off a movie day with this one. Wasn't sure it was going to be for me, but I ended up enjoying and appreciating it a lot.)
Peanut Butter Falcon(8/8/2020)(This was WONDERFUL. Adorable, sweet story that I loved a lot.)
Desperados(8/8/2020)(Deeply predictable romcom. Some funny cute moments. The lead character was deeply deeply unlikeable. It was alright.)
Work It(8/8/2020)(Deeply predictable dance movie, but fun and comforting all in the right ways. Could see myself rewatching this one.)
Like a Boss(8/8/2020)(Re-Watch)(Ended my movie day with one I knew I liked. Loved it again. Tiffany Haddish is just the best.)
Mona Lisa Smile (8/17/2020)(Re-Watch)(Monday Night Movie with Alyson is back! Huzzah. Love this one. It'd been a long time sense I had seen it and it hits harder now that I've started educating myself more on the oppression of white feminism.)
Steel Magnolias (8/24/2020)(Re-Watch)(Oh this movie is one of the greatest of all time. Wonderful Monday movie with Alyson!!)
Tucker & Dale vs Evil (8/28/2020)(Re-Watch)(This is a ridiculous movie but it's fun. The price I paid for letting Joe choose the movie last night lol!)
42(8/29/2020)(Watched this for this first time upon learning of Chadwick Boseman's death. My heart couldn't handle Black Panther but it needed something of his. This was a very good film and I'm glad I watched it. Hard content, important content.)
A Knight's Tale (8/30/2020)(Re-Watch)(Literally always a delight. Always.)
The Intern(8/31/2020)(Monday night movie with Alyson! This was a sweet delight of a movie, nothing too tense, and just rode the hell out of the DeNiro/Hathaway charm.)
Sweet Home Alabama(9/1/2020)(Re-Watch)(Caught this on tv at my beach hotel. Love it always!)
Palm Springs(9/2/2020)(This was NOT your average rom-com! This movie was fun and twisty and unexpected and wild as hell. Thoroughly enjoyed.)
Wild (9/4/2020)(I've been wanting to watch this for years, since I read and loved the book. I really enjoyed the movie, as well! Yay for Reese Witherspoon!)
The Mighty Ducks(9/5/2020)(Re-Watch)(A forever fave.)
Uptown Girls(9/7/2020)(Re-Watch)(This was MUCH sadder than I remembered it being, but still a great Monday Night Movie with Alyson!)
Love, Guaranteed(9/9/2020)(Meh. Disappointing new Netflix rom-com.)
Legally Blonde(9/12/2020)(Re-Watch)(A classic. Love it.)
Legally Blonde 2 (9/15/2020)(Re-Watch)(Not the masterpiece of the first but still a fun and silly and super extra film.)
The Devil Wears Prada (9/24/2020)(Re-Watch)(I feel differently about this movie than I used to! Watched with Alyson, had not seen it in forever, and was surprised to find how much I was angry with Andi's boyfriend and friends for being completely unsupportive of her changing as a person. There are amazing iconic performances in this movie, and it's thoroughly enjoyable, and it has some not so good messages. Plus good God the body shaming.)
Hocus Pocus(9/26/2020)(Re-Watch)(HP Night is the best night!!)
Casper(9/26/2020)(Re-Watch)(A little too slow of a drinking game sadly. Still a cute movie lol.)
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days(Re-Watch)(A perfect film for Movie Night w/ Alyson, frankly. Perfect.)
The Secret Life of Pets 2 (10/3/2020)(This was SO funny and adorable and cute!!!)
Back to the Future (10/7/2020)(Re-Watch)(This movie held up super well and I really enjoyed revisiting it!)
Back to the Future Part II(10/17/2020)(Re-Watch)(This also held up!! Not as funny as the first one, but more intense. Looking forward to watching BTTF3 sometime soon.)
The Wedding Planner (10/19/2020)(Re-Watch)(This is an adequate early 00's rom-com but only because Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Lopez could have chemistry with potted plants if necessary. Certainly weaker than many. But fun for a Movie Night.)
Practical Magic (10/26/2020)(Re-Watch)(Love this movie. It's critically underrated but just a delight. Perfect Monday Night Movie with Alyson, perfect kick-off to Spooky Week!)
9 to 5(10/28/2020)(What a fun and cute movie!! Can't believe I've never seen it before.)
The Craft: Legacy(10/30/2020)(UGH this was so bad. I'm so annoyed.)
The Witches (2020)(10/30/2020)(Very cute and fun and a little creepy, too. Enjoyed this one!)
The Nightmare Before Christmas(11/1/2020)(Re-Watch)(An excellent day after Halloween movie! I only kind of half watched cause multi-tasking but it's always very lovely.)
Because I Said So (11/5/2020)(I can't remember if I've seen this before, but it was VERY cute and enjoyable.)
Three Men & A Baby (11/5/2020)(Re-Watch)(I love this movie and I forgot how much. It's adorable. Mostly holds up.)
The Holidate (11/5/2020)(First holiday movie of the year! SO cute.)
Three Men and a Little Lady (11/6/2020)(Re-Watch)(Loved revisiting this franchise. I don't know how it could be revisited but I would total watch a new one lol)
Jumanji: The Next Level (11/6/2020)(This was quite fun! They did a great job with these sequels. Won't be mad if there are more!)
Operation Christmas Drop (11/7/2020)(Glad I broke my usual "no Christmas until after Thanksgiving" rule as this was lovely and cute and adorable.)
Hidden Figures (11/7/2020)(Re-Watch)(This is such a great, inspirational movie. So good.)
Back to the Future Part III(11/7/2020)(Re-Watch)(It is wild to me how well this series works, when it is truly repeated jokes and characters in multiple timelines. LOL. But it does!)
Easy A(11/8/2020)(This was SO GOOD! I'm shocked I hadn't seen it before. Loved it.)
Midnight at the Magnolia(11/8/2020)(Yet another Christmas movie! This was my favorite one so far. And technically more of a New Year's movie haha. But very sweet.)
The Christmas Wedding Planner(11/9/2020)(This was fine. Cute. Least favorite of my early Christmas movies.)
Let it Snow (11/9/2020)(Re-Watch)(Excellent Monday Night Movie with Alyson! Liked it even more on re-watch. So lovely.)
The Holiday Calendar(11/14/2020)(This was very cute! Adorable in all the ways Christmas movies should be, plus a dash of Christmas magic!)
The Princess Switch (11/15/2020)(Re-Watch)(One of my fave Netflix Original Christmas movies; I re-watched in prep for the sequel coming this year. So cute.)
The Family Stone(11/17/2020)(Re-Watch)(Not always one of my faves but watching it as the weekly Alyson movie made it better! I enjoyed it much more thoroughly this time.)
The Princess Switch 2: Switched Again(11/19/2020)(I have been waiting for this sequel for 2 years and it did not disappoint!! So fun and so silly and I loved it.)
A Princess for Christmas (11/22/2020)(This was not good but was ridiculous and silly and fun to watch!)
A Bad Moms Christmas(11/23/2020)(Re-Watch)(This movie is so dang funny. Cracks me up. Love it!)
Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey(11/26/2020)(OMG I loved this. It was so fun and so well done!!!)
Christmas with the Kranks(11/27/2020)(Re-Watch)(A fun movie for right after Black Friday shopping when you're exhausted! It's just silly lol)
The Knight Before Christmas(11/28/2020)(Re-Watch)(A truly silly and fun movie. Love it.)
The Land Before Time(11/28/2020)(Re-Watch)(A long term fave that I'm very happy holds up- although it is much shorter than I recall lol. Fun kick off to Dino Movie Day with a friend!)
Jurassic Park(11/28/2020)(Re-Watch)(ALSO happy to report this fully holds up- hell, the CGI and animatronics even still look great.)
We're Back: A Dinosaur Story(11/28/2020)(This movie was wild as hell! So fun.)
Happiest Season(11/29/2020)(Sigh. Sad to report this honestly wasn't very good- engaging and the cast was fantastic, but there were serious character and plot/pacing problems.)
The Christmas Chronicles(12/5/2020)(New to me this year, and really very lovely! Except for the incredible amounts of fatphobia displayed by, of all people, Santa Claus.)
A Chipmunk Christmas(12/5/2020)(Re-Watch)(one of my childhood faves!)

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation(12/11/2020)(Re-Watch)(Annual favorite, this time watched outside projected on to a friend's house's wall!)

The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause(12/13/2020)(Re-Watch)(Still not quite as good as the first, but much better than the second one!)
Dolly Parton's Christmas on the Square(12/14/2020)(This was wild and weird and so very heavily Christian and just.... a lot. I don't think it'll be on my re-watch list but I'm glad I went in cold and glad I saw it once.)
