Alden Harrell is a 28-year-old native from Sweet Home (Huntsville) Alabama who loves movies, photography, and a good game night!
For 2020, he decided to do what one would say a “New Years Resolution” and watch 100 movies that he has never seen before! The reason for this was because he got tired of people saying, “You haven’t seen The Godfather???” or “How have you never watched Back to the Future??”
I too was surprised by the list of movies that he has NOT seen but it was also interesting to read his thoughts on them!
“I streamed almost every movie I saw. Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, and HBO are a godsend,” says Harrell. He also has a running watchlist on my Letterbox profile, (a movie logging/reviewing app) so whenever it’s time to watch a new movie he pulls from that!
“I’ve always been very drawn to the art of storytelling. I really believe it’s one of the best ways to experience another point of view and cultivate empathy. Cinema is one of my favorite mediums of storytelling. Through these movies, I’ve learned so much about the world around me.”
Below check out not the 100 movies he watched but the top 10 out of 100 as well as categorizing them into superlatives.
