Part Three: The Execution

You know what I'm doing and why I'm doing it. Now on to the how.

Julie set up a timeline of a year. I am not going to set up a timeline per say. However, I do plan on aggressively attacking the list of movies in a somewhat thoughtful way.

1.) Netflix - With my subscription to Netflix, I plan on getting the movies that are not on demand or being shown on any of the # of movies channels available to me through digital cable. They don't have everything but, a pretty deep selection so I should be able to get lots of the titles through them.

2.) On Demand - 3 different on demand sections carry movies that are no additional cost to me

• Free Movies - Spotty at best, only sometimes can I find titles their
• HBO - Often have some great titles for more recent movies
• Encore - A mixture of old and new movies
  

3.) DVR - Through digital cable I get many movie channels and have the capability of DVRing movies that I find on those channels. Besides Netflix, this will likely be my most useful asset in accomplishing my goal.

Now, that I've established where I will get access to the movies, we move on to the order in which I will watch them in.

Basically, I don't plan on setting up a very rigid order to watch the movies in. One reason is that some movies are better to watch at certain times of the year. For example horror/scary movies I will wait and watch in October and Military/War movies I will be waiting till May in honor of Memorial Day or November in honor of Veterans Day to watch.

Secondly, there are different movie marathons/themed months that come along and they may dictate what movies I watch. For example, during February Turner Classic Movies (TCM) has their 31 Days of Oscar. During these 31 days the channel show movies that were either nominated for or won Oscars.

So, this will dictate the films I watch in February and they will not be all the same genre. If I watch a particular marathon/themed movie month, night, week, etc. I will reveal that in my blog entry(s) and post links, info about it.

Lastly, if those three avenues fail me in getting hold of a particular title I shall see if a friend or family member owns whatever title I am looking for or see if my local public library system has any movie I struggle to get a hold of.

So, we have the what, the why, and the how. In Part Four, I shall give an overview of the book I am using and in Part Five I will list the movies I have seen.
