During the past month I have worked on my first 30 day quest:
Watch an English dubbed movie with Swedish subtitles
Although I would not consider it to be a success on learning Swedish, it was satisfying to daily complete something I proposed myself to. I do recognize that performing something daily requires a certain degree of motivation and commitment even when that means spending 2 hours per day watching a movie.
Regarding learning Swedish, I believe that in order to better learn it I should have watched them with no sound and force me to pause and translate the Swedish words I do not know. Though pausing so often during the movie would require more time than the one I had available. Anyhow the list of movies follows:
September:- The Big Lebowski
- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
- Sucker Punch
- Limitless
- Gran Torino
- V for Vendetta
- 127 Hours
- Four Lions
- Dead Poets Society
- Black Swan
- The Green Mile
- V For Vendetta
- Kings Speech
- -------------- (Fail)
- Fight Club
- The Usual Suspects
- -------------- (Fail: Busy Weekend)

- 12 Angry Men
- -------------- (Fail)
- Annie Hall
- Thrashin (hittade inte Svenska undertexter)
- Det Sjunde Inseglet (lyssnar på Svenska med Engelska undertext)
- -------------- (Fail: Busy Weekend)
- -------------- (Fail: Busy Weekend)
- Sherlock Holmes
- Alice in Wonderland
- Så som i himmelen (lyssnar på Svenska med Engelska undertext)
- Full Metal Jacket
- Slumdog Millionaire
Additionally, before September I was doing it with the following movies:
- The Social Network
- Source Code
- 500 Days of Summer
- London
- Seven Years In Tibet

Special thanks to all the friends who suggested and shared part of their film culture with me!
