2019 Movie Challenge

Tools    





Weird is relative.
Yeah, that and you shouldn't "challenge" anyone to watch it anyway.
Unless he's talking about pinku films like Mr. Minio always did? One might make an exception for that.




j/k

I'll give it a go.

My List 26/52  
I'm now exactly halfway through, although the other 26 will be harder to do (African, South American, Bollywood, etc.)



Also answers to Jabba
I don't count short films for this so I still have ways to go. Lately I've been focusing more on films from the 30s and Roger Ebert's list for Nightmare mode.

Leftovers  



Welcome to the human race...
I'm honestly thinking that, due to lack of availability, I might have to skip the AFI Top 100 and perhaps compensate for it by expanding one or two of the existing challenges (e.g. the movies-from-the-same-decade category or the Ebert's Great Movies category).



Also answers to Jabba
I am really lagging behind on this...

Main Challenge - 14
Nightmare Mode - 55

Leftovers  



Welcome to the human race...
I'm thinking I can swap out the AFI movies for ten different Palme d'Ors. That sounds like it'll be enough of a challenge.
