30 days - Watching Movies with Swedish Subtitles

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:
  1. The Big Lebowski
  2. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
  3. Sucker Punch
  4. Limitless
  5. Gran Torino
  6. V for Vendetta
  7. 127 Hours
  8. Four Lions
  9. Dead Poets Society
  10. Black Swan
  11. The Green Mile
  12. V For Vendetta
  13. Kings Speech
  14. -------------- (Fail)
  15. Fight Club
  16. The Usual Suspects
  17. -------------- (Fail: Busy Weekend)
  18. -------------- (Fail: Busy Weekend)
  19. 12 Angry Men
  20. -------------- (Fail)
  21. Annie Hall
  22. Thrashin (hittade inte Svenska undertexter)
  23. Det Sjunde Inseglet (lyssnar på Svenska med Engelska undertext)
  24. -------------- (Fail: Busy Weekend)
  25. -------------- (Fail: Busy Weekend)
  26. Sherlock Holmes
  27. Alice in Wonderland
  28. Så som i himmelen (lyssnar på Svenska med Engelska undertext)
  29. Full Metal Jacket
  30. Slumdog Millionaire

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