This year, I wanted to create a small but meaningful movie-watching routine for myself. Each month, I'll be putting together and sharing a list of films I plan to watch during that month. These lists bring together new releases that caught my attention, films I've been meaning to watch for a long time, and stories that feel right for my current mood.
Think of it as a kind of monthly film diary.
My January list leans toward character-driven, quiet yet emotionally powerful films. Themes like loneliness, relationships, everyday life, and subtle emotional shifts seem to connect many of these movies.
