| | Posted: | | | | On average, how many full-length films do you watch each week?
This does not include shorts. However, it may include TV series episodes where three 1-hour long TV episodes (or six 30-minute episodes) are equal to one movie.
I have really slacked off lately watching movies because of a few other interests/projects that have caught my full attention. I don't think that I watched a single full movie in all of January! Before this hiatus, though, I would generally watch about 1 or 2 per week. | | | If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you.

| | Posted: | | | | My goal last year was to watch 500 movies, I fell wayyy short. I picked Between 5 and 10 which is my average. For the first month I watched 39 movies. I don't count TV in any way, or it'd be much higher. I'm making my way through all seven seasons of the Trailer Park Boys, will be finished tonight. | | | HDTV: 52" Toshiba Regza 52XV545U AVR: Onkyo TR-707

| | Posted: | | | | I originally picked 3 to 5 until I read about the TV and upped it to 10-15 with those added in. I'd say, on average, I watch more TV than movies unless I pick something specifically to watch.
Yet, this can change on a week to week basis. This last year I've been doing a lot of challenges over on another forum and it's really been increasing my watched stats. For 2 or 3 of those challenges, I've gotten in the 80/90 range, I'd say. Right now is a TV challenge and counting everything as one (there are mostly 30 min shows, but a fair amount of 1 hour shows and even a couple movies thrown in), I'm at 192.
Perhaps I should say higher, but I am slowing down as I get saturated with having to watch a particular theme.
Edit: Looked at Profiler and I've watched 245 movies/TV series that I own this past year (in 2012) and 44 that I rented. I'm sure there are a handful that I am not counting that I've caught on TV and didn't profile. | | | | Lori | | | | Last edited: by LJG |

| | Posted: | | | | I'm with LGJ on this (though I watch less) and had to up my count when I saw the bit on TV series, which I tend to watch more of than movies.
A quick check of my spreadsheet (oooh, I love spreadsheets me) indicates that I watch about 40 hours of material per month (trying to pick an average length of time for movies and for an episode of TV... the TV one being difficult as it depends on the proportion of 1 hour type episodes and 30 minute type episodes) so I'd guess that equates to about 5-6 per week.
In January I watched 10 films and 39 episodes of TV (16 half hour, 23 hour long) so that works about right. | | | | It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong |

| | Posted: | | | | I am definitely more of a TV addict then I am a movie addict, I spend most my time watching TV series... pretty much non-stop. But I usually fit in anywhere between 2 and 6 movies per week. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | Don't know about movies per week, but I watched 21.402 minutes last year. That makes ~412min per week or ~59min per day. Although that includes TV-Series-Marathons on weekends & Holidays. EDIT: actually it's only 20.056 minutes => 386min/week => 55min/day When you look for <Events> containing "2012-" in the XML one should make sure only to find his own 'Watched' and not other people 'Borrowed' and 'Returned'  cya, Mithi | | | | Mithi's little XSLT tinkering - the power of XML --- DVD-Profiler Mini-Wiki | | | | Last edited: by Mithi |

| | Posted: | | | | Here is the breakdown by month and viewing type for me for 2012  Not a big surprise that the lowest stretch was during the summer. November was an odd month as I was out of town for a good part of it and didn't watch much. I'm off to a good start in 2013, I watched 37 movies, slightly more than my best months last year and well over the 14 I watched last January. | | | HDTV: 52" Toshiba Regza 52XV545U AVR: Onkyo TR-707

On average, how many full-length films do you watch each week? Does "full-length" mean at least 180 minutes? Quote:
This does not include shorts. However, it may include TV series episodes where three 1-hour long TV episodes (or six 30-minute episodes) are equal to one movie. Complex mathematics. How do you convert 7 TV series episodes between 42 and 48 minutes? | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played. [Ken Cole, DVD Profiler Architect] |

Full-length feature film
I'm just watching Taken, the 2002 TV mini-series, where each episode is about 85 minutes long. How many episodes do I have to watch again to equal one 40 minutes full-length movie? | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played. [Ken Cole, DVD Profiler Architect] |

I'm just watching Taken, the 2002 TV mini-series, where each episode is about 85 minutes long. How many episodes do I have to watch again to equal one 40 minutes full-length movie? This is gonna sound so smart-ass, but it's not meant to. Just if my math is right, half an episode will meet the 40 minute minimum and should count.  If they are around 85 minutes each, I'd count each episode as it's own movie. My counts vary vastly week to week. I think the most in a week was around 25-30, average is probably 5-10. | | | | Last edited: by bigdaddyhorse |

If they are around 85 minutes each, I'd count each episode as it's own movie. You haven't read the rules, have you? You need at least 180 minutes of a TV Series to equate 40 minutes of a movie. | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played. [Ken Cole, DVD Profiler Architect] |
