2015 MoFo Challenges

[christine]

As Godoggo challenged me to reading a Margaret Attwood book, I'm going to reciprocate. Godoggo I challenge you to read The Crimson Petal and The White by Michel Faber.
Let me know if you've already read it cos I have a few more you might like!

[Sexy Celebrity]

I've decided I'm not gonna try to make it a point to make ZERO threads all of next year... just in case I need to make one or two... but I WILL try to restrain myself and make a lot less. So.... no MoFo Monopoly. No MoFo Battleship. No Super MoFo Brothers. No MoFo Risk. No MoFo Operation. No MoFo Candy Land. No Mrs. Pac-MoFo. No MoFo Tetris. No Sonic the MoFoHog.

Challenge accepted. I haven't read that one but it looks like something I'd really like.

[Rhys]

Challenge me... I like a challenge. ;)

[Daniel M]

I challenge Daniel M to open a preliminary 60s thread once the animation countdown is over, and to lead an insanely great countdown for it.

Just seen this, and I will do, of course :)

[Godoggo]

Ok. I challenge you (Rhys) to watch five animation films each one from a different country. The countries can be English speaking. Must not have viewed them before.

I like it. I accept!

[Rhys]

If it is a Japanese animation for example and it has the option of good English dubs would that count? Like a Miyazaki film.

[Godoggo]

Yep. Just as long as you have never seen it before and every one is from a different country.

[Rhys]

Yep. Just as long as you have never seen it before and every one is from a different country.
Cool. Sounds like fun. :D

[weeman]

This does seem really interesting. I'm going to come up with some challenges for people. Give me 10 minutes. :p

[Captain Spaulding]

I challenge Honeykid to stop stalking Drew Barrymore.

[gbgoodies]

I have a challenge, but it's not for any specific person. It's for anyone who wants to accept it, or even a group of people if you want to work together.

I'm challenging anyone, individually or as a group, to take over the birthday list on the "Born Today" thread.

This is kind of a unique challenge because it's kind of selfish of me, but it's being done for a good reason. My schedule has been changing recently, and I just don't have the time to keep doing it. I think it's a great thread, and I've enjoyed reading all kinds of fascinating information about these people, and passing this information along to everyone here, but recently it's been a struggle for me to get it done every day.

I hope someone agrees with me enough to accept this challenge and continue it.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I challenge Honeykid to stop stalking Drew Barrymore.

I challenge Honeykid to EMBRACE SATAN.

Times up bro!

[christine]

Sorry HK I can't even find the post where you challenged me to watch Harpers Island , but I take that challenge on for the new year when my xmas guests have gone home.

[Iroquois]

I challenge myself to watch a movie a day for the whole year.

[weeman]

Times up bro!

I know, I kind of just forgot. Maybe later after work :p

[Cobpyth]

I'll respond to my challenges:

I challenge Cobpyth to introduce his social game that he has planned for the forum.

I will at some point, but at the moment I'm too busy, so it will still have to wait for a while. ;)

Cobpyth: I challenge to finish his favorites thread.

Working on it!

I challenge Cobpyth to check off all of the films on Film4's Top 50 Films To See Before You Die that he hasn't seen.


Will do!

[jiraffejustin]

Forum Wide Challenges

Here are a couple of boring movie watching challenges for everyone. The purpose is to help people (and that most certainly includes me) expand their movie watching variety.

1. Watch a film from at least 7 different countries. For the purpose of this challenge let's classify the UK and Ireland as one country, and lump the US and Canada together as one country of North America. So for example if you watch films from USA, Canada, England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland you've not ticked off 6 countries but just 2.

2. Watch a film from each decade between the 1930s and the 2010s. So that's a film from 9 separate decades.


Oh and here's an extra challenge which is just a silly little bit of fun.

3. Complete the alphabet in terms of films you watch. Taking the first letter of each film try and tick off all 26 letters of the alphabet. If people want to complete this one I imagine we'll be getting a lot of viewings of Quiz Show and Quills. :D


I probably do the first two every year without realizing it.

I'll do number three, but I'll make it more interesting/difficult for myself. I'll try to do it with films I haven't seen before and are at least 180 minutes in duration. Any three hour Q or X movies?

[Friendly Mushroom!]

If I've already seen Brigadoon about 100 times, should I watch the 1966 TV version with Robert Goulet, Peter Falk, and Sally Ann Howes?

You don't have to but if you want to, go ahead. :)

[Godoggo]

Sorry HK I can't even find the post where you challenged me to watch Harpers Island , but I take that challenge on for the new year when my xmas guests have gone home.

Christine, I have all the challenges in the first post. Just search and find your name and you'll find all your challenges.

[cricket]

I challenge Cricket to pick one challenge from any member and complete it. (Must be an active challenge and not a completed one.)

I'll take HK's challenge to Godoggo to complete 6 of my lists. I have the 70's done so I'll need 7 total completed lists.

[cricket]

1. I challenge Mrs. Vicky to watch Wolf Children and comment on her thoughts about it. :up:
2. I challenge rauldc14 to make a "serious" post in the Rate The Last Movie You Saw thread writing at least 10 sentences on how bad Finding Nemo is plus leave a rating, like if the movie was one of the worst he ever saw. :p
3. I challenge cricket to watch Tucker and Dale vs. Evil if he hasn't already!
4. More will come... Aaaargh!



Seen it already

[Zotis]

I challenge jiraffejustine to watch Fritz Lang's Siegfried, and Kriemhild's Revenge. You also have to tell us how you found it and where.

Just to give you an example of how impossible I think this task is, I have scoured the internet for Kriemhild's Revenge to no avail, and I went to the largest video store in Toronto, Queen Video, and it was the only Fritz Lang movie they didn't have. Siegfried should be no problem though.

Pretty sure both of the Die Nibelungen films are on youtube. The only Fritz Lang film I've seen is M, I'll remedy that in due time by knocking those two out.

Then I challenge you to watch Wolf Children and disney's Tarzan as well!

I watched both parts of Die Nibelungen when they were on MUBI, but they're not there now. Amazon Prime is my other way of watching it since I'm a member (and don't live in Canada). But you've already seen and disliked a better dragon movie. :)

[Friendly Mushroom!]

I challenge everyone on April Fool's Day to change their Avatar to a Troll Face.

I also challenge everyone in the month of October to change their Avatar to something relating to chocolate.

[Friendly Mushroom!]

I challenge everyone who has a MoFo list completed to make a list ranking all of the films on the list low to high. If you are like Gunslinger or Holden Pike who have several lists completed, you only need to do one.

[Godoggo]

I tried that already, but it's not available to Canadians.

I've never seen them before but this isn't it? http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9jhb2mjjx-E

There are two different movies one is labeled Siegfried and the other Kriemhild's Revenge. I looked at movie stills too and they looked the same as what is on YouTube.

The written part is in German but it could be easily translated. (I was pretty proud that I could read some of it. )

Maybe I'm confused and that is something else.

Challenge accepted!

[Guaporense]

I challenged myself to read 70,000 pages of fiction over the next 12 months. I will count the stuff I already read over the past week so I will try to meet my own challenge by 25 december 2015. Of course, comic books count (i.e. manga) but I will also count non-comic fiction books as well.

Sorry, it's not about movies but I haven't read much (novels or manga) so I decided to focus on reading now that I think I watched plenty of masterpieces of film and animation.

This doesn't have to be movie related. There are art challenges, reading and even a streaking one.

I think I have most challenges on the front page. I'll make sure to always keep us with this so that people will never have to go further than two pages to dig for challenges

Don't forget about this! I'm going to try to complete at least 10 challenges throughout the year.

[Guaporense]

That one is the size of a 100 challenges though. I am already reading a ton of stuff and I will count the pages on reading tab.

I switched from talking to you to talking to everyone and now I realize that there was no way for anyone to know that. :dizzy:

Only the first line was meant for you.

[honeykid]

I challenge Guap to watch the first two seasons of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. I can understand the first will be a real struggle for you, Guap, but I think the second season is a better barometre for you. Persoanlly I think seasons 3 and 5 are the best, but I don't think you'd agree. I think you'd prefer two and six.

[Godoggo]

I'm caught up again and have all the challenges in the first post.

Don't forget that to get credit for your challenge you must log it in the challenge completion thread.

I have quite a few completed challenges to log into the achievement post thread. I haven't forgotten, I've just been busy. If I haven't done it in the next couple of days someone can remind me.

There are so many "everyone" challenges that I am not going to accept anymore until a few get completed. Challenge specific members until that happens.

In honor of my beloved Harvie Krumpet winning the short film HoF I will be completing my art challenge soon. I was hoping I'd get to do the artwork for that one. :)

[Godoggo]

My challenge is to send in a MoFie Ballot. The next five to do so and log it in to the challenge completed thread will get the credit. Obviously you must not have voted yet.

[TheUsualSuspect]

SC, you have FAILED my challenge.

[Sexy Celebrity]

SC, you have FAILED my challenge.

I failed it six minutes into 2015:

I challenge anyone to challenge me! :cool:

[Godoggo]

Ok. I challenge you to get your passions list up to 25%. You have to actually watch the movies though and not just check them off. :p

[Simseboy]

Okay I will!

[gbgoodies]

This challenge is for Kaplan. I know you were looking forward to some new movies in the Noir HoF, but you said that you've seen all the nominations, so I challenge Kaplan to watch at least 10 movies that you haven't already seen from the "BFI Screen Guides' 100 Film Noirs" list, and write up your thoughts about the movies as if they had been nominated. You don't have to do long reviews if you don't want to. You can just write up a quick rating with your thoughts about the movies.

[Captain Spaulding]

I challenge EVERYONE to vote Captain Spaulding for Best New MoFo.

I also challenge EVERYONE to vote Captain Spaulding & Sexy Celebrity for Best Couple.

Yoda says that anyone who doesn't comply will be banned permanently from the forum.

[honeykid]

I think I'm prepared to be banned.

[Captain Spaulding]

I think I'm prepared to be banned.

:shrug:

I'll miss your sarcastic use of smilies, honeykid, but do what you must.

I was just about to drop Drew Barrymore off at your place to do a little last minute swaying of your vote, but I guess there's no need.

These ratings make me sad. Those are some of my all-time favorite movies.

[Gatsby]

Some of those ratings are heartbreaking...

MASH, Bridge on the River Kwai, The Apartment, Pulp Fiction, American Graffiti, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest... waaaah! :bawling:

[Zotis]

One of the lowest ratings I've seen for any of those. To each their own, I suppose.

[Quill]

I challenge someone to challenge me. (;

[Godoggo]

Ok. I see you haven't started any threads. I challenge you to start a thread that gets at least 20 replies. The thread can't be asking people to reply to complete this challenge. ;)

[Godoggo]

All challenges are posted in the first post again. I'm all caught up.

Remember this is an all year thing. Keep challenging and keep doing them. Once again to get credit for a challenge you must log it in the challenge completed thread.

If you want a challenge speak up, or you can do the everyone challenges. Due to how many everyone challenges there are, I am going to treat them as first come gets the credit and then erase the challenge. This is to encourage more and different types of challenges though out the year.

Have fun with these. I really want to see how big the challenge log is come Dec. 31st. I'm hoping it's huge. :)

[seanc]

Completed my two challenges, I need something new. Hint: I am 23 short of finishing the AFI 100 because there are quite a few movies there I can't bring myself to start. I have wanted to finish that list for years. I used to keep a magazine copy of it in my desk.

[Godoggo]

Ok. I am going to challenge you to watch specific films from that list. These are my favorites of what you have left. The Wild Bunch; The Philadelphia Story; Bringing Up Baby; The
Gold Rush & The Maltese Falcon. I'm going to add one that I didn't care for, Sophie's Choice, just to see how we agree/differ on these particular movies.

[Godoggo]

I'm going to figure out ways to award points for the challenges. Right now all I know for sure is movie challenges will be 5 points a movie. So for example, Seanc completed 2 challenges with 3 movies each so he has a total of 30 points. Unless a movie is over 3 1/2 hours then it's worth 10.

I think art pieces will be worth 10 points as they usually take 4 or more hours to do.

Books might be 10 for 200 pages and 5 for each 100 pages thereafter. It's not set in stone.

This a will be a way to earn a MoFie instead of having to be voted for. Three to five members will earn a MoFie depending on the level of participation.

Remember you can always do the challenges that are for everyone and ask to be challenged, so no complaining that you didn't have any challenges. ;)

[The Gunslinger45]

Sounds good to me.

[Godoggo]

I figured it would be cool to have a few MoFies people could earn as well as be voted for. Although whoever has the most challenge points is probably going to be a contender for overachiever as well.

but it's mine:p

[Zotis]

I challenge everyone to complete 0 challenges.

There now no one will be left out. Oh, but after accomplishing this you should take it away because they won't qualify after completing it.

[Godoggo]

1/4 of my way through Raul's challenge and I just have to color Harvie for Seanc's. For Raul's challenge I watched Chop Shop. I really, really recommend this film. It was wonderful. It reminded me of Ballast in it's style, pacing and how natural the movie felt.

[rauldc14]

I should be completing Godoggos challenge soon. I've seen Moonstruck, Sleepless in Seattle, and Love Story. One more Passion left.

On Swans challenge I saw Alien. Now I just need to see Blade Runner.

I'll start a Star Wars marathon, but probably not until summertime with this enormous watchlist I have.

Hopefully I can entice HK with a The Fog commentary if I enjoy it.

[Godoggo]

Gbgoodies is in need of challenges. She finished one and the other one no longer applies because the Mofies are over.

You guys don't wimp out on this! I still plan on completing quite a few.

[jiraffejustin]

I have one for her: Watch a movie from a country in each continent (excluding Antarctica of course.)

[rauldc14]

I'll complete one of my challenges this coming Tuesday when I'm off.

I'm still planning on doing mine. I watched Maltese Falcon the other night.

[Citizen Rules]

I completed another one: join a Hof....and I did.

Damn, I only have two challenges and yet I haven't completed any of them. :(

I actually have Sansho the Bailiff ready to play, but there have been some problems with the copy unfortunately... Soon though, hopefully. :p

[jiraffejustin]

gbg, ignore my last challenge, I have a better one. Watch all the movies in Swan's Top Ten. I've seen 8 out of the 10, and all 8 are good.

I challenge Gbgoodes to participate in the MoFo Awards ceremony anyway that she can.


I got there late, but I participated once I was there. :)

Everyone has all year. I just don't want this to be forgotten about as it started out so strong. Plus this is going to be a part of the MoFies ceremonies next year. Whoever has the most points will win an award.

[Citizen Rules]

I've got one. GB, I want you to find a horror movie you like which you haven't seen before. Oh! that's a good-tough challenge, bwahahaha:D

I marked you down in the other thread.:) Thank you, I'll do another HoF, for good measure:)

[gbgoodies]

I've got one. GB, I want you to find a horror movie you like which you haven't seen before.


I should be able to do this. :up:

A lot of the early horror movies, (like the Universal Monsters movies), are more suspense than horror, even though they're classified as horror. I just have to figure out which ones I haven't seen yet.

I assume movies like Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein don't count. :laugh:

[Swan]

That would be correct. :p

[gbgoodies]

gbg, ignore my last challenge, I have a better one. Watch all the movies in Swan's Top Ten. I've seen 8 out of the 10, and all 8 are good.


I've already seen five of the movies in Swan's Top Ten, and I didn't like three of them. I can appreciate Alien as a good sci-fi movie, but it's too close to horror for my tastes. However, I liked Blade Runner.

In addition, I tried watching The Seventh Seal when it was on TCM a while back, and I couldn't get through the first half hour.

It's unlikely that I'll like the remaining movies.

I think the idea of these challenges is to find something you think the person being challenged would like, not something that you would like.

[Citizen Rules]

Everyone has all year. I just don't want this to be forgotten about as it started out so strong. Plus this is going to be a part of the MoFies ceremonies next year. Whoever has the most points will win an award. This thread is a very neat idea. I've never seen anything like it on the boards I used to haunt. If it gets bumped from time to time it will keep alive.

I do have 2 other challenges that I'm going to do by 2015.

[honeykid]

I challenge gbg to watch one film made by each of the six main Friends.

[gbgoodies]

I'll have to look them all up and see what movies they've made, but I should be able to do this. (I can't think of any movies with Joey, Ross or Monica, but I'm sure I can find something from each of them.)

Courteney Cox was in the Scream movies, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, and a very good but little known TV movie called Sketch Artist II: Hands That See.

David Schwimmer of course is the voice of Melman the giraffe in the Madagascar films.

For Matt LeBlanc, you're probably stuck watching Charlies Angels.

Thanks for the info. I think I've seen all the Madagascar movies, but I'll have to verify this. I don't think I've seen anything else you listed.

[Citizen Rules]

For Courtney Cox films, I recommend a comedy, 3000 Miles to Graceland (2001)

[Sleezy]

David Schwimmer of course is the voice of Melman the giraffe in the Madagascar films.

He was also in a great comedy flick called Six Days, Seven Nights with Harrison Ford and Anne Heche.

Or... *cough* ...Lost in Space. :shifty:

That sound interesting. Does Graceland mean it has something to do with Elvis?

[gbgoodies]

I've seen both of those movies. Six Days, Seven Nights was pretty good, but Lost in Space pretty much sucked.

Has Matt LeBlanc done anything good?

Yes it does. 3000 Miles to Graceland is sort of a comic take off on the star studded, casino caper movie, Ocean's 11.

They rob a casino during Elvis Week and you can guess what their disguised as;). It's got a big cast too...

Kurt Russell
Kevin Costner
Courteney Cox
Christian Slater
Kevin Pollak
David Arquette
Jon Lovitz
Ice T

That sounds good. I love the cast too. I've been a big fan of Kevin Pollak ever since I heard him on The Star Trek Comedy Album back in 1987.

I'll add 3000 Miles to Graceland to my watchlist. :up:

[Citizen Rules]

Isn't Kevin Pollak the guy who does Capt Kirk imitations? What did he do on the 87 comedy album that earned your wrath:eek:

Look on the bright side maybe his character will get knocked off early in the movie;)

Yes, that's him. I said that I like him. Not that I dislike him. He's probably the best impressionist ever, especially his Shatner, Alan Arkin, and Christopher Walken.

He did "Star Trek V: In Search of Cash" on The Star Trek Comedy Album.

Here's the YouTube link to the whole album:

[gbgoodies]

For Courtney Cox films, I recommend a comedy, 3000 Miles to Graceland (2001)



Here's a cool coincidence.

Just before I left this afternoon, I had to set my DVR to record "Judge Judy", and while I was scanning through the menu to set it, I noticed that 3000 Miles to Graceland was scheduled to air this afternoon too, so I set my DVR for that movie too. :)

I've already seen five of the movies in Swan's Top Ten, and I didn't like three of them. I can appreciate Alien as a good sci-fi movie, but it's too close to horror for my tastes. However, I liked Blade Runner.

In addition, I tried watching The Seventh Seal when it was on TCM a while back, and I couldn't get through the first half hour.

It's unlikely that I'll like the remaining movies.

I think the idea of these challenges is to find something you think the person being challenged would like, not something that you would like.

He challenged you! Gotta do it!

[gbgoodies]

He challenged you! Gotta do it!


This is a free country. I don't "gotta do" nuthin'. :nope:

[Swan]

Poor sport.

[gbgoodies]

Poor sport.


Think this through. Based on what you already know about how I feel about the movies I've already seen from your top ten, do you really want to read MY reviews of YOUR favorite movies? :skeptical:

[Swan]

Well, you don't have to write reviews on them.

But it's a challenge. It's supposed to be challenging.

[Swan]

Besides, I don't care if you like them or not. I want you to go outside your comfort zone and watch some horror.

[gbgoodies]

Besides, I don't care if you like them or not. I want you to go outside your comfort zone and watch some horror.


I thought these challenges were supposed to be fun. I don't like horror. How would you like it if I challenged you to watch a bunch of musicals or rom-coms? Or listen to a bunch of country music songs?

[Swan]

I would love to do those challenges. Please, challenge me to go outside my comfort zone and experience new things!

By the way, I like musicals.

[Godoggo]

I'm getting ready to watch Killer of Sheep then I will be halfway through another challenge. Hope I like it as much as Chop Shop.

[weeman]

Please challenge me to do anything. I need excuses to watch films, rather than just flicking through netflix, and then thinking "oh no, can't watch that because then I'll have no time to watch that!"

ANYTHING.

[gbgoodies]

I think you're missing the point. It's one thing to go outside my comfort zone. It's something else to force me to watch movies that you already know that I'll hate.

[Swan]

How do I - or you, for that matter - know you will hate them if you haven't seen them?

[Swan]

Granted, you're not forced to do it if you don't want to. I just think you should.

[gbgoodies]

Okay. YOU can watch all the movies in Swan's Top Ten, and make JJ and Swan happy.

[Godoggo]

Ok, I challenge Weeman to watch On Golden Pond and Moonstruck then tab them in the Rate the last movie you watched thread.

[Swan]

Sorry, my last post was kinda mean so I deleted it. Sorry gb.

[weeman]

[weeman]

Also, any (reasonable) non-movie related challenges shall be considered. My body is ready.

[Swan]

Weeman, I challenge you to wee on a man. It can be yourself.

[weeman]

Weeman, I challenge you to wee on a man. It can be yourself.

Reasonable.

[Godoggo]

I have your challenges listed on the first post, Weeman. You're at the top.

[Swan]

I got one, weeman. I challenge you to do your first ever commentary with me! Some time this year.

[weeman]

I got one, weeman. I challenge you to do your first ever commentary with me! Some time this year.

Deal.

[Godoggo]

Actually I should probably do a reminder post that all challenges have been listed on the first post. Check it out. You're name might be on it and you don't even know it.

If you want to be challenged, just ask for one or complete a challenge that's listed for everyone. Only one month down and eleven more to go. Still a whole lot of time to complete a whole bunch of challenges!

Once you complete one go to the challenge completed thread and tab it. I'll put you on the board.

[Citizen Rules]

I got one, weeman. I challenge you to do your first ever commentary with me! Some time this year.

Deal.

Guys that was too damn funny! I actually laughed out loud.

Weeman you have to send a 'sample' to Godoggo to get credit for that.:eek:

[Godoggo]

Oh no he does not! :D I'll take his word for it.

[weeman]

A sample? :p

I found The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari on YouTube. I'll watch that tonight, and we'll see how it goes from there.

[Miss Vicky]

That's a fantastic movie.

I watched that film during my brief exploration of silent cinema. I found it really fascinating and very well done. Also it was an educational experience for me as a fan of Tim Burton.

It doesn't sound like my type of movie, but I'll watch it with an open mind.

What does it have to do with Tim Burton? (I'm kind of hit or miss with Tim Burton's movies.)

[Miss Vicky]

It's a (very obvious) influence on Burton's style. You'll see what I mean when you watch it.

[Miss Vicky]

I challenge Friendly Mushroom! to watch at least 10 more movies from the MoFo Millennium List (http://www.movieforums.com/community/showthread.php?t=29532). (He's only seen 19 so far).

The ten movies must include at least three of the following:

Quills
Gladiator
WALL·E
Hedwig and the Angry Inch
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Brotherhood of the Wolf
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
Inglourious Basterds
Zodiac

[Camo]

Have i had any challenges? If not someone challenge me please, as long as it's not something absurd.

[Miss Vicky]

I challenge you to finish your damn top 50 before the end of February.

[Camo]

BEFORE?????!!!!!!!!


Who do you think i am????


Done

[Godoggo]

I'll give you a really easy one and a harder one.

Fill out all ten favorites on your profile

Watch four movies set in a state that begins with each letter of your username. So you could watch a movie set in California or Colorado for your first movie then another movie that is set in Arizona or Arkansas and so on for each letter.

[weeman]

I challenge myself to create my top 100 list by the end of the year. I hope this will give me an incentive to do so :p

[Godoggo]

Also Camo. Everyone's challenges are all listed on the front page so no one has to go digging through all the pages to see if they have a challenge. Yours are on there now at the very top. When you complete one you have to log it in the challenge completed thread to get credit. :)

[gbgoodies]

Fill out all ten favorites on your profile



I already challenged everyone to do this.

I challenge everyone who hasn't posted their favorite movies in their profile, to fill in their favorite movies.

[Godoggo]

Because of the insane amount of challenges to everyone, once someone completes one of those, I'm taking it off the board. Otherwise the challenges will just sit there and go stale or we will end up with a thousand of them.

Rather than taking the "everyone" challenges off the list, why don't you create a separate post and just link to it. That way if someone is looking for a challenge, they can read through the "everyone" challenges to find one, plus if someone is working on one of the "everyone" challenges, it won't disappear before they complete it.

I'll fill out my ten favourites once my top 50 is finished so that will be two birds with one stone. So they have to be new watches, or for instance if i've watched one set in California already does that count?

[Godoggo]

New watches, Camo. That's much more challenging. ;)

[Camo]

No problem. If anyone wants to suggest any films from a US State starting with C, A, M or O, i'll look into them. +rep for anyone who comes up with interesting 60s films from one of those ;) .

[Godoggo]

Both Bye Bye Birdie and Lolita are set in Ohio and are 1960s films. Don't know if you've seen either of them, but I would consider both of them must watches for the 1960s.

I'll think of more later.

HK I just want you to know I nearly forgot about your challenge so tonight I got through half of Harper's Island. I'm reserving my comments till the end ;)

[honeykid]

Excellent. I hope you enjoy it. God know how you wouldn't, but I'm sure those people are out there. :D

[Citizen Rules]

I'm challenging myself...It's a really hard challenge too. It's going to take me a entire year just to do it.
But how will you all know when I complete my secret challenge???

[gbgoodies]

How about if I challenge you to tell everyone your secret?

[gbgoodies]

I challenge gbg to watch one film made by each of the six main Friends.


Wow, Matt LeBlanc hasn't made a movie with a rating higher than 5.5 on IMDB. How is he still getting work? :confused:

[honeykid]

He's in Episodes and it's great. :yup:

I haven't seen Episodes, so I don't know anything about it.

[Cobpyth]

I challenge Sexy Celebrity to watch at least 3 Asian films from the '60s before the deadline of the 1960s countdown (June 30th, 2015). At least one of these films needs to be from Akira Kurosawa and another one of them needs to be from Yasujiro Ozu.

He can also finish Mark F's challenge during the process.

Hope you accept it, Sexy! :modest:

[Miss Vicky]

-I challenge Miss Vicky to do at least 3 commentaries with Me this year. ~ Raul

-I challenge Miss Vicky to check off at least twenty films on the BFI Top 100 British Films (Including The Wicker Man 1973 and Ladykillers 1955.) ~ Friendly Mushroom

I should have JayDee's challenge completed this weekend. I'm picking up GOT Season 1 from the library today.

[seanc]

Nice MV. Let us know what you think.

[Camo]

I finished my list in the nick of time :D . Also I filled in the top 10 in my profile.

[Miss Vicky]

If by "in the nick of time" you mean one day late. :p

[Camo]

It was February where the Challenger was and on the site and in my heart, so shhh. spoil sport.

[Miss Vicky]

It was March 1st where you are. Cheater. :p

[Camo]

I live by MoFo standard Time, and there's no denying it'll say 28th February next to my post. If you wanted to avoid this, you should've negotiated stricter terms :p

[The Sci-Fi Slob]

I challenge Honeykid to get 100% on the AFI 100 Years of Thrills List. (An easy one to start with :))

[honeykid]

Can I be bothered to seek out two films I really don't want to watch and have possibly seen already? No. Sorry, SFS. :)

[Guaporense]

I challenge anyone for the next 9 months:

1. Watch 30 Iranian movies not directed by Kiarostami.
2. Watch 30 works of Japanese animation (movies or series).
3. Watch 30 Indian movies.
4. Watch Horus for the 1960's list.

Bcse almost nobody here seems to watch a great deal of these 3 fields.
