Every year-end brings oodles of “best of” lists for films, television, music, comics, and more. If you consume them, do you make lists of stuff you missed to get to later?

I do keep sections from the paper of films and best books but there are so many lists. I don’t get through them usually but sometimes a name will come up again and I’ll remember it was on a list. Oy vey – so much to see, so much to read…...

No. I think now with being able to stream everything, it makes it hard to keep track of what’s from 2020 vs. what’s from other years.

I do keep a list of documentaries that I have watched. I’m a documentary fan and I like to remember which ones I’ve seen so I can re-watch or make suggestions to friends.

Yes. I make a list of movies and television shows I haven’t seen that are highly rated.
I usually get through them, but for some reason I still haven’t seen Parasite.

^^ I hated Parasite.

I have an ongoing list of movies to see on Rottentomatoes and a list of books to read on Goodreads. I can see the lists in chronological order of what I added but I’ve had these lists for years. Things are added frequently and taken off as I read or watch them.

I gleefully make lists now, from the Best Of’s, and then again at award season, but then, I only get to about half of them by year’s end. Too much good content these days.
