Revision as of 21:42, 2 September 2015

A record of the films and television shows I've made Jenny watch, and her overall thoughts on them.

The Project

This project was Jenny's idea, as she finds it quite funny that I expend so much effort attempting to make her watch things she doesn't want to watch. For my own part I am amazed at how much (of what I consider to be) classic popular culture she's missed out on. Even though my success rate is quite low I love it when I do find something that she unexpectedly enjoys, and for me this outweighs the defeats.

Jenny especially dislikes sci-fi and action movies, so these will feature heavily on the list.

Note that this page only lists things that Jenny was absolutely opposed to watching and only gave in because I continually insisted that she must watch them. Anything she actually wanted to watch will not be listed.
