Here we go again! This is the thread where I will post details and reviews of my personal movie challenge where I gather a monthly "loot" of films based on a different set of criteria, combined with updates from my podcast, The Movie Loot.
Been doing this type of challenge for a good while now, but this is the second year (at least as far as the podcast's concerned), where I'm choosing only five (5) categories per month, along with a guest, so we can talk about those in a monthly episode.
Without further ado, here are the criteria for FEBRUARY 2024:
A film from an African-American director (Black History Month): American Fiction
A film nominated for Best Picture or Best International Feature in the upcoming Oscars: Oppenheimer, Barbie
A film from Vincente Minnelli (born February 28): The Band Wagon
A film set in prehistoric times (World Anthropology Day, February 15): Iceman
A film from Tracey Deer (born February 28): Club Native
Other films seen, not for the challenge:
Pixar short films: Red's Dream, Luxo Jr., One Man Band, The Blue Umbrella, Day & Night, Boundin', The Legend of Mor'du, George and A.J., Sanjay's Super Team
Neo-noir films: Tightrope, Nightcrawler, La Haine, Body Heat, Le Cercle Rouge, Sin City
Other watches: Avengers: Infinity War, Resilience, The Fly, Robin Hood
For anybody curious, here are the threads for previous years: 2021, 2022, and 2023. Once again, I will continue with 5 films per month, which gives me some space to catch up on other "freebies" without being so strict.
I will also continue to use the thread to post new episodes of my podcast, which you can find on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and any audio/podcast platform.
Anyway, anybody is welcome to offer recommendations for any category, and anybody is welcome to join in the challenge and watch films with me. Let's loot!
