Movies I Had Previously Seen

Besides being excited about watching some movies that I hadn't seen before in the top 251 movies of all time, I was really looking forward to "having" to watch movies I knew I already enjoyed. Most of the previously viewed movies were already among my favorites, but some exceptions existed. Still, I knew I could tolerate having to watch a couple of exceptions again if it meant "being forced" to watch my favorites too.

Below is the list of movies I had previously seen before I started to watch the top 251 movies of all time and the grade I gave the movie. A lot of this list skews newer, which fits right in with past observations I've made about tending to like prefer newer movies over older movies. The list averaged a grade of 3.877 out of 5 and that strong number was built on the backs of movies I adore like the Star Wars trilogy and The Lord of the Ring trilogy. Thankfully others that I didn't enjoy as much, like Donnie Darko and West Side Story, didn't severely impact the grade.
