I left off a few. I also saw #’s 227, 229, 230, 233-235 & 239 in cinemas.
Hey Dan….thanks for the corrected numbers…makes your impressive numbers even more impressive.
Hey Dan…you are and were a movie watching machine. Here I am bragging about my 32 seen in theaters…..and you almost saw 7 times my amount. That is almost 4 movies a week in theaters. The benefit of being so close to all those movies being shown in New York City. I actually have records for my movies watched in 1987….a grand total of 343 for the entire year….includes movies from all years. That was my personal record for years, until my recent movie watching binge….seen 550 this year. Great feedback as always.
Where is husband of Cogerson? I saw about 890 in 1992 and 800 something in 1993 when I first had cable. I lost those totals but since 2003 the most I’ve seen all years is 764 in 2016. Last year I saw 727 but in 2005 it was only 380. Totals jump depending I guess on certain cable packages. I moved to Bayside, Queens in 1998 so I got TCM for the first time so the numbers were probably high in 1999 then got satellite in 2000 and the Encore channels (don’t have them now Western channel which added a lot for a few years. My total for this year is down and will be in the 600’s.
Hey Dan. All the Wife of Cogerson comments this morning were from me. Due to some weird scheduling circumstances I am ended up in New Jersey with 2 daughters, one grand daughter and WoC’s computer but no wife or car. She ended up in Maryland with daughter in law and grandson. We are back together in New Jersey now. New Jersey the state that seems to hate left turns.
Hey Dan. Looks like we will be in the same ballpark with movies watched in 2018. I have been reviewing all the movies I have seen for the last 5 years at Letterboxd.com. There are now 3,000 plus reviews there. In 2013, I watched an insane 1,418 movies. I do not think I will ever do that again. I have TCM and Net Flix yet rarely watch either one. 95% of the movies I watch are on DVD with the subtitles on, while I walk on a treadmill. Thanks for sharing your stellar movie watching tallies. Very impressive.
Hello,
I saw so many films ,my favorites are, Fatal attractions, Roboccop, Throw Momma , Bagdad café, Radio Days, Dirty Dancing, the Witches of Eastwick, Wall Street , etc but i am surprised to see some french actors in this page
Christophe Lambert in the Sicilian, Isabelle Adjani in Ishtar ans i know it was a flop in 1987 in USA and in France too, and of courses Stephane Audran in the film Babette; she was the favorite actress of the french director Claude Chabrol and if my memory is good she was his wife too and they made a lot of films together.
Michael Douglas and Glen Glose were on the top but my favorite part of Miss Glose is les Liaisons Dangereuses, in french;
I read the name of Ted Danson, i was speaking of Steve Guttenberg some weeks ago but it is the same for him.
I wish you a good time
Pierre
Hey Pierre. Thanks for the feedback on our 1987 page. I was surprised that Steve Guttenberg topped our biggest box office stars list…..but he had a very good 1987. Probably the peak of his career. The 1990s were not too kind to him and his career. I like all the movies you listed as the ones you liked. I actually saw The Silician in theaters…it could have been so much better. Always good to hear from you. Happy New Year.
I have seen 24 movies from 1987.

Hey Flora….thanks for checking out our 1987 page. I have seen 22 of your 24 movies seen. I have not seen The Whales of August or Wings Of Desire. Of your favorites…I would say The Untouchables and Lethal Weapon would be in my Top 10. Moonstruck was my grandmother’s favorite current movie. When she passed away, her VHS collection was 3 movies: Moonstruck, The Wizard Of Oz and The African Queen. I still have all three of those VHS tapes at the house…even though we have not had a VCR in years. Good stuff!
I have seen 6 of the Top 12 biggest box office hits in the table above.It is possible that some of my fellow contributors to this site will most think of 1987 as the year that launched the Lethal Weapon franchise. I like that movie but my own very top 10 favourite 1987 movies overall are as follows in no particular order –
1/The Untouchables
2/Predator
3/Dirty Dancing
4/The Witches of Eastwick
5/ Broadcast News
6/ Planes Trains and Automobiles
7/Wall Street
8/Black Widow
9/Cop
10/ The Bedroom Window.
The last two flicks are minor fare which I actually watched on video in the pre-DVD days but both have a “good” Cogerson rating of 64%.
Cop stars James Woods whom I found very entertaining and back then I had high hopes for him as a major superstar but alas it was not to be. He did however have one lucky break when Brando fell ill and could not make 2001’s Scary Movie 2 so that James inherited Marlon’s cameo role and they paid Woods $1 million [The Great Mumbler had been reportedly offered $2 million]. By coincidence though a Marlon did appear in the cast of Scary movie 2 [Marlon Wayans]. James Woods has a reported net worth of $20 million. Last year he was accused of sexual misconduct by 3 females one of whom is the actress Elizabeth Perkins.

Hey Bob.
1. Good comment. Thanks for. stopping by.
2. Wow…right this down…we agree on almost your entire comment.
3. I really enjoyed Cop too. I used to have Cop and Best Seller on the same VHS tape…..and watched those two James Woods movies all the time.
4. I liked Letal Weapon….but Predator is my favorite action movie of 1987.
5. Planes, Trains and Automobiles is one of my all-time favorite movies..so glad to see it on your Top 10.
6. Recently rewatched The Bedroom Window…it was not as intense as I remembered….and Guttenberg’s acting is suspect at times…but I really liked it back in 1987.
7. I liked Black Widow…but it opened the same weekend as From The Hip….I could not believe it opened better than Judd’s best leading man role.
Good feedback Bob…..thanks for sharing your movie thoughts.
HI BRUCE
Thanks for your observations on my own comments.
Black Widow was one of the thrillers that most entertained me in the 1980s. However when i look back on it now it’s a case of “bitter-sweet” because Winger and the lovely Theresa Russell just about reached their peak with that one and thereafter it was gradually down hill.
The “curse of 39” also played havoc with the big screen careers of many lovely young women from the 1980s/1990s decades, two others who immediately spring to mind being Sharon Stone and Meg Ryan
Hey Bob. I agree , Black Widow was Winger and Russell on the downside of the mountain for both of them. Not thinking many realized that back then.
I have seen 116 of these movies. Including 32 I movie theaters. Some low ranked movies that I liked? The Hidden, From the Hip and Three O’Clock High. They go with high ranked movies like Predator, The Princess Bride, Planes,Trains and Automobiles, Lethal Weapon and RoboCop as my favorites. Good ole Bruce Willis, makes his first appearance on our yearly pages with his Blind Date.
