I’m sure we all have are own traditional movie viewing habits. For example every year after, the week after Thanksgiving, I host a viewing of 1947’s Miracle on 34th St (my second favorite Christmas movie.) I also tend to watch John Carpenter’s Halloween around October 31st and a Jason Voorhees usually makes its way across my television screen around the time the calendar states its Friday the 13th.
However I have other traditional movie viewings, outside of the holidays and fun calendar days.
For the past few summer’s I have found myself enjoying Roger Corman’s cult classic Piranha, around the time the pool opens. It’s a fun summer movie to watch after a swim.
During the summer months I tend to put on Gravity and some disaster movie such as Volcano, The Day After Tomorrow, or San Andreas. Also around the summer solstice I put on the summer blockbuster Mad Max Fury Road. I figure the desert sun/heat in that movie is a great way to celebrate the longest day of the year.
When fall hits and football season starts I celebrate with a viewing of Silver Linings Playbook. Though not a football fan I enjoy the rom com with all its quirks.
After new years I tend to watch Alien. In fact this year I did so with a big screen viewing. I enjoy the cold of space during the cold of winter.
Speaking of cold if I’m stuck inside with snow I tend to watch some of the long movies such as Zero Dark Thirty or the David Lean epic Bridge over the River Kwia. Also during the snow I watch the Jake Gyllenhaal thriller Nightcrawler. I’m not sure why but I enjoy it.
When spring comes around I watch the Kevin Costner sports flick Draft Day. It’s not the greatest movie but always fun to watch.
What are you’re non traditional viewing habits during the year? Anything to celebrate back to school or the start of winter break?
