My God, I long to experience a fraction of your appetite for film. Call it poorly managed ADHD (I usually do) or whatever else you like, but I cap out at like 3 movies a week, maybe even less if one is particularly challenging.

I'm retired. I usually watch a movie around brunch-time and then another in the evening -- and obviously sometimes I'll watch a couple more, too.

If someone actually wanted to spend time watching movies, the trick is to watch stuff from other times and places because even the standard boy-meets-girl story has interesting details when set in, say, 1940s Italy versus 1970s Detroit.
