Didn't realize how re-watch heavy December had become, so the picking for favorite first time watches was slimmer than I expected. But I did enjoy these.
Working on 2025 favorites list, but probably need 3-4 weeks to catch up on as many of the year end releases as possible.

My October top 4 favorite first-time watches literally featured my top 3 movies for the year, so November had its work cut out for it. But, November had some great movies all its own, 3 of which occupy the top 15 of my ongoing best of 2025 list.

October wasn't just round the clock horror movies (but it was close), it also ended up being a damn good movie month. 3 of the movies on my list for favorite first-time watches for the month are also at the top of my 2025 list (so far)

September was a pretty weak month for first-time watches. Not that I didn't really enjoy a couple of these, but not a lot of strength (like what October will bring).

Better late than never? Favorite first time watches for July and August.

A lot of new movies, a lot of theaterical movies. It's summer movie season, so not that unusual.

June's almost up, but I forgot to post my top four favorite first time watches for May! A real smattering of genres at the top this month.

April was the best month for first-time watches this year by a wide margin. By coincidence all were 2025 releases and all were pretty action-y.

Happy Sunday to me! Less than half my Sunday average.
