In January 2000 I began keeping a card file of movies I've watched from my collection. Here it is, almost 4 years later, and I'm just a little over halfway through - and this is with making a conscious effort! If I relied on pure "desire", there's no way I'd come that close. I know this sounds like "forced movie watching," but after all, our collections supposedly consist of films we WANT to see. This is just a little coaxing, that's all.
I'm not saying it's a sin to let your movies languish on a shelf somewhere, but I'm just suggesting that as big film lovers, we all owe it to ourselves to make more of an effort to get our movies watched. I know it sounds like a job, but it's fun, not work. It's rewarding, but it takes some committment.
I like to pick a theme for the week and go with it - "silent films week," "Godzilla week," "Jack Lemmon week," - whatever. Then I attempt to put something different on from that subject that I haven't seen last time. And of course, I also watch whatever comes to mind when I'm in a certain mood
