Okay, so this month I did plan my movie watching experiences so that I would see 23 of them by the end of the month. Below is a list of those movies. The numbers to the left are the dates in February on which I watched them. The number of snowflakes, with 5 being the highest rating, indicates how good I thought they were and the heart indicates it's a definite favorite that I will likely watch again sometime. Most, but not all, of these are Hallmark movies.

The one I watched on the 27th was a re-watch from January, so it isn't a "different" movie. It's my favorite Hallmark mystery movie that I've seen so far. I thought maybe I wouldn't enjoy it as much the second time around since I already knew how it ended, but I actually enjoyed and appreciated it more after the re-watch. I picked up on clues that I hadn't noticed before, so that was fun to see. When I first rated it, I gave it 4 snowflakes. For the re-watch I added half a snowflake.
My clear February favorite was "Lost in Austen". I definitely need to take the time to re-watch this one and write a review for it. It's a very unique and engaging twist on "Pride & Prejudice", while still staying true in many ways to the original. If you're a "Pride and Prejudice" fan, I highly recommend "Lost in Austen"!
Note that a movie did not have to earn five snowflakes to receive a heart. The heart just means there was something unique about it that touched me. In some cases, the discussion I had with someone about it afterward increased the rating because that person gave me a new appreciation for it.
In March, I am planning to watch the rest of the Aurora Teagarden Mysteries. There are 18 of them in all. I am not sure which other movies I'll watch, but I'm sure there will be five more to make it a list of 23.
I also started watching the 80s-90s series "Murder, She Wrote". All 12 seasons are streaming on the free version of Peacock. They also air on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries, but they are easier to watch on the streaming Peacock platform. I never watched the show before, so they will all be new to me. So far, I watched the first two episodes and I loved them. Those two were one mystery. I believe the rest of the episodes through the 12 seasons are all individual mysteries.
Have you seen any of these? Is so, tell me what you think in the comments below!
