I like it, too. But, I LOVE the one with Leslie Howard as Percy. :)
Ohh... Courtney are you having a Harry potter marathon?
Would comic books count? Such as Thor or The X-men
Yes, I would count that- as long as there is a comic book(s)... especially a whole series- they add up to a great big book in my opinion

Looooooooooo♥oooooooooooooove American Psycho.
Me too! I've been wanting to re-watch it, but just couldn't get myself to sit down and do it. Now I have an excuse. I haven't seen it in years and I love Christian Bale and remember it being great. I am actually really excited to watch it, I think I might do that this weekend.

I was ready on Monday, but I gorgot to update :).8/8 watched
Bonus: after finally watching the movies coherently and not with huge pauses of over a year, AND in only one language I realised how much I like the story. So I'm thinking about reading the books as well :).
I already marked you as done- but thanks for updating!
Used my holiday vacation day to have a movie marathon. Nothing like a warm, cozy day spent on the couch watching movies and reading a good book. Wish I could do that every day.4/4 complete
Also, is this challenge repeatable with different movies of course?
