10 Flicks: A Different Kind Of Movie List

Today is the 9 month anniversary of The Athletic Nerd.
In that time, I’ve written 273 posts that have earned over 10,000 visits from all over the world and more than 15,000 page views.
Note: I don’t know if that’s good or not but considering this blog is 273 days old… I’d say I’m posting pretty regularly.
I’m extremely proud of the way this site has developed and evolved over time. It’s an amazing outlet that allows me to write about the movies I love and the movies I love to make everyday.
While I write a ton of posts about 17 West Productions, screenwriting and filmmaking, I’ve always made sure to include posts about the movies that inspire me.
Through features like What!?, Rainy Sundays and 10 Flicks, I have that opportunity. These posts have been my number 1 source of traffic.
So to celebrate 9 months of blogging, I’ve decided to dedicate a post to the most successful feature on my blog:
10 Flicks
When I first started, I didn’t want to post regular Top 10 count downs. I wanted my lists to truly reflect the kind of movie fan I am and the films I love to watch. These lists are designed to cause conversations, not arguments over rankings etc…
For those who haven’t seen them yet, here are the lists I’ve created so far:
- Kick Ass Filmmakers
- Movies I’ve Seen In Theaters More Than Once
- Movies With Championship Games
- Movies I Own That I’ve Never Seen
- VHS Movies I Should Upgrade
- Pre-Drinking Comedies
- Pre-Drinking Comedies 2
- Lazy Day Movies
- Box Office Favorites
- Movies That Make Me Feel Like Writing
- Terrible Movies I Own
- Yearly Favorites
- Christmas Classics
- Bad Ass Movies
There’s a lot more on the way including top secret NEW features I’m planning to launch…
