You mean something you have already seen before? Sure.

If you're stuck for choice I'd say The Red Balloon, The Piano or The Lavender Hill Mob.

Like i said i haven't actually been watching films for this, i've just seen a lot and as a result i've knocked out most of the categories. But yeah if i decide to finish this i'll keep those in mind.

Still four. Think after i'm done with the Russian Hall of Fame, i'll watch Putney Swope and Suicide Club. Then all i'll have left is a Screenplay Oscar and one Sion Sono film.

I haven't watched any movies at all in almost 2 months. I think it's pretty apparent that I'm not going to finish this. I will be watching movies again very soon though, since the 17th HOF is starting in a few days.

Watched Suicide Club last night so just one more from Sono and i've finished the ten from one director category which is my last in nightmare mode. Going to watch Putney Swope in the next week or so for the blaxploitation one, then all i'll have left is a Screenplay Oscar Winner which i haven't decided on yet.

Yeah. Some new challenges will replace the current ones to mix things up, but the concept will largely remain the same.
