I'll see you at the movies

For the past three years, I've been keeping track of all the movies I saw in the theater. In 2000, I saw 18 movies; in 2001, that figure went down to 15; and in 2002, thanks mainly to sudden onslaughts of filmgoing in the first two weeks of July and in the last week and a half of December, I saw 21 movies. This is the list:

1. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (1/14)
2. Ice Age (3/25)
3. Big Trouble (4/7)
4. Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (5/21)
5. Spider-Man (5/28)
6. Scooby-Doo (6/17)
7. Minority Report (6/24)
8. Sunshine State (7/1)
9. Men in Black II (7/4)
10. Lilo & Stitch (7/8)
11. Gigantic: A Tale of Two Johns (7/9)
12. The Powerpuff Girls (7/15)
13. Austin Powers in Goldmember (7/29)
14. Spirited Away (9/30)
15. Punch-Drunk Love (10/21)
16. Bowling for Columbine (11/4)
17. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (12/2)
18. Adaptation (12/23)
19. About Schmidt (12/24)
20. Catch Me If You Can (12/30)
21. Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (12/31)

Because I'm a loser who doesn't have a girlfriend, I saw all of these movies except "Attack of the Clones" by myself, in various Los Angeles-area theaters. I saw "Attack of the Clones" with two friends at the McClurg Court theaters in Chicago while I was on vacation there.
