This review may contain spoilers.

They way I SCREAMED “My Baby Boy!!!!” when Benji came on screen alive at the end 😭😭😭😭 I’m emooooooo

This review may contain spoilers.

But why did they have to kill off gay Barry Keoghan? One star for him, one star for the music, and half a star for the tiny amount of psychological horror they threw in

WE ARE SOOOOOO FUCKING BACK BABYYYYYY LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO

FINALLY got around to this one and HOLY SHIT

This was so boring I fell asleep

Bruuuh wtf I need more!!!

Ggfggfnffghfhdfhhggghfgfyfyyfhgfhr

This wasn't actually nearly as bad as I was expecting it to be! Short and sweet with a bunch of good jump scares.

DID THEY FORGET TO FINISH THE MOVIE??? WHY WASNT THERE AN ENDING???

Nooooooo thank you!!!

Me the second an MRI machine showed up: OH COME ON!!!!!!!!! Also Matty Finochio jump scare !

I was sent the gif of the guy saying "GARBAGE DAAAY" by more than one person when i said i was watching this film lmao

Why was it ABLE TO RUN AWAY

First??? Edit: I’m the 18th to review apparently smh Letterboxd 
Anyway love how the young rider was sponsored by Monster energy drinks

God I love vintage pornos so fucking much

Literally scream laughed the entire time lmaooooo

The sheer amount of people we had watching this together was insaaaaane. Three of us ran to google at the same time to look up the real guy. How were there like 8 people watching this right now.

I loved Tiny Tim in this so much actually ;A;

I don’t wanna say it was better than the first one cause like. lol. But also it kinda was djdjdkdkekd

Idk the animation style wasn’t my fave but the story mostly kept me engaged!

The last 20 minutes of this are fucking insane??? Hello?? Loved the design for the cat woman though !!

So that was like an allegory for gay sex right /hj

What if you scanned someone while having sex would it have a different effect do you think. Does scanning always have to be malicious intent 🤔

The concept was so cool and it was done pretty well but I was a little confused about. How it all started ngl.

They had us in the first half I'm not gonna lie (the first half was SO HOT.)

I need a full feature length movie of this immediately

I neeeed to watch Blue Velvet

This review may contain spoilers.

I FUCKING LOVE GAY PEOPLE‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

I fell asleep before the very end but that’s fine lmao it was so so so so bad. He didn’t even do cocaine??? Like why make the obvious joke and then use a different drug smh.

Hey that was actually so???? Interesting? Hated the puppets though no thank you

“If we fuck I’m going to feel like shit tomorrow.”
“I’m okay with that.”

Yeah this was cool but it gave you nothing?? and the teaser for episode two was more interesting than the entire episode one rip

Those sure were some. Cool rocks !!!!!!!

Okay that twist was lowkey fire but the rest of the movie could have been waaaay better

Hey holy shit

Not T33thy calling me out before the short even starts PITJAI;EOGR

Hey holy shit??? Hello??? PSA’s just ain’t what they used to be

YEAAAAAAAAH BOOOOOOOOOOY I’m gonna need like 10 more of these, STAT

CARMILLA MENTION ‼️‼️‼️‼️

Why are all of these like, horrible etc movies just so boring

The alien design was kinda cool but yeah not for me

She didn’t do what I thought she was gonna do with that crucifix

Tonight’s theme was “barely a movie interspersed with random animal shots”

The amount of times we squealed because baby cats were on screen was ridiculous ndjdidjdkddkkdk

Genuinely felt like a video game except apparently it wasn’t the right video game ndjckdjdkkdkdkd

“Merry Cockmas” - Scott

I NEED THAT MAN. IMMEDIATELY.

Almost had a panic attack but didn’t!!!

I’m absolutely obsessed with Kern’s mind

Anotha one

Hosts list Here!

Progress: 0/31

Prompts:
1. Let's start off with some appreciation for johnconn, last month's horror host. If you've picked challenge 1, pick a film they've rated 4 stars or higher. If you've picked challenge 2, just try to find one that was made by your country that they've rated. And if you can't, then treat this one as a free space.
2. We're going to travel through time periods. Pick a film produced sometime between 1920 and 1950, preferably a black and white one.
3. Moving up... Pick a film produced between 1950 and 1980.
4. Almost there, now pick a film produced between 1980 and 2010.
5. And finally, pick a film made in the last fifteen years.
6. Now, we're going to cycle through some sub-genres. Let's start off more grounded- pick a slasher movie, or at least a film with a regular human antagonist who wants to kill.
7. Next up, go for a found footage movie- one that's more "real" or one that's fantastic, it's all up to you.
8. Okay, now I'm forcing your hand. Pick an explicitly supernatural movie. Something about a ghost, or a spirit, or a possession, or something in that realm.
9. And next on the list, we have vampires. But feel free to get creative. If your country doesn't explicitly have them, then pick a movie about some sort of humanlike monster who can fly, or transform, or turn others.
10. Now do the same for werewolves. Once again, if your country doesn't have 'em, then find a movie about monsters who transform involuntarily, or hunt in a pack, or have something to do with the moon.
11. We've gotta round this out, so it's time for zombies. Do I even have to tell you that if your country doesn't have zombies, then you're free to pick something else about disease, or corpses, or some sort of real slow monster?
12. Did I leave out your favorite kind of monster? Well, we're going to start diving into some more country-specific themes now, so there's still hope! Pick a movie featuring your country's own prominent monster. So an Irish film about a Banshee, or a Japanese film about a Kaiju.
13. Watch a film that ties into the religion of its country in some way. If possible, try to avoid movies explicitly depicting mythology or folklore (etc), and rather watch something about the practitioners of a religion or belief system. Something about the faithful.
14. Okay, when I said to avoid movies explicitly depicting mythology or folklore? Well, that's because for this prompt, I want you to try to find a movie which, well, explicitly depicts mythology or folklore. Some horror version of an old tale, or barring that, an urban legend.
15. Find a film that pertains to a major holiday. Obviously this would preferably be about a major holiday in your country, but any holiday will do.
16. I've mentioned collaborations with other countries a few times in the ruleset. Well for this one, your film must be a collaboration. (Bonus points if it's between two neighboring, or at least nearby, countries.)
17. Do some research into your country's top genre (romance? action? drama?) and find a horror film that crosses over into that genre. If your country's top genre is horror, well, I guess you've found another free space.
18. The term "elevated horror" is kind of overused (horror has almost always had something to say), but bear with me and find an example of it. A horror movie that's trying to say something about the country and culture that it's produced in.
19. Let's try to find something award-winning. Find a horror film that has won some sort of award from an organization in the same country that it came out in. If you can't find one for whatever reason, find a ranked list on Letterboxd of films from your country and watch the #1 movie on the list.
20. It's pretty common for one country to remake another country's movie. I hardly need to tell you that they're not always good, but go on and watch one anyway.
21. The next little sub-group is all things under-appreciated- some of the ones that might otherwise be overlooked. Try to find an animated horror film. Real simple, this one.
22. Now, watch a film directed by a woman. There are few stats out there on the percentage of woman directors on an international scale, but it's safe to say that they're under-represented, so do your part to the women who are out there directing.
23. Pick a movie that was the directorial debut of its director, preferably one that flew under the radar compared to later films that they made.
24. Try to find a movie with a rating of 2.5 stars or less on Letterboxd, and see for yourself whether it's deserving of that rating or not.
25. We're in the final stretch! Things are going to get just a little bit hodge podge. Watch a movie about siblings, where their relationship plays strongly into the overall film.
26. Now watch a movie with some sort of creepy child. They can factor into it any way you want, just make sure they're in there somewhere!
27. I always like fitting in some shorter movies into this list- it can be tough watching 30 movies in a month. Let's make this easy for you; watch a movie that's 90 minutes or less!
28. Find a movie that's about water in some way. Drowning, the ocean, ice, whatever form it takes is up to you.
29. Let's go beyond the scope of your country for just a second- find a film made there, yes, but about aliens, or outer space, or something beyond our Earth.
30. Pick a film that blends genres. This can be as epic as a horror mixed together with fantasy and westerns, or as simple as a horror movie with a romance element.
31. You've made it to the end of the list! I've handed out a few free choices in these when there's been no other choice, but here's one for everyone. Watch any movie you want from your country!

1. Sea Fever
2. The Hunchback of Notre Dame
3. The Fireworks Woman
4. House of 1000 Corpses
5. Naked Cannibal Campers
6. Slumber Party Massacre
7. The Death of April
8. The Gravedancers
9. The Last Vampyre
10. Wolves of Wall Street

...plus 21 more. View the full list on Letterboxd.

Let's fuckin goooooo

Hosts list here

Progress: 0/30

Prompts:
1: Oozing Horror
I love a gross, drippy, slimy, goopy horror movie. Pick an Oozing horror, any horror movie that prominently features some goo.
2: Horrors Beneath
Pick a horror film that takes place or has something coming from a sewer, subway, catacomb, crypt, or other man-made subterranean area.
3: Stop-Motion Horror
Pick a horror film prominently (or entirely) featuring stop-motion animation. I think Phil Tippet's Mad God (2021) is amazing, but you do you.
4. Hammer Horror
Does anyone else find Hammer's offerings immensely cozy? Myself and my group of friends do. Even if you don't, there's quite a few of them out there, and why not cross another one off your list?
5. Movie Poster or Box Art
You too can replicate the experience of a pre-internet horror movie selection, just like we all used to do in video rental stores! Pick a horror film purely by its poster / box art. Try to avoid reading the description or looking at reviews or ratings if possible.
6. Drive-In Horror
Today is National Drive-In Movie Day in the USA, marking the day when America's first drive-in theater was opened in 1933, so let's turn off the headlights and enjoy a horror movie you could find at the drive-in.
7. Horror Anthology
Anthologies are the hopeful person's kind of film. Even if the segment you're watching sucks... the next one might be good... right?
8. Folk Horror
We have been blessed these past few years by a resurgence of Folk Horror, which means there's now a ton of new and old films to dig through.
9. Children's Horror
Today is International Children's Day, so pick a horror film (ostensibly) geared towards a younger audience.
10. Director Shinya Tsukamoto
Tsukamoto's Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989) left a lasting mark at a time when I was beginning to really dig into cinema. Pick a horror film from his directorial efforts.
11. CAT III
Hong Kong's infamous CAT III rating resulted in some of the most bizarre, out-there, and possibly shocking horror films out there. Pick a CAT III film.
12. The Video Nasties
A slew of films were banned in the UK under the Obscene Publications Act, the result of yet another moral panic that always seems to roll around every few years. Clutch some pearls and pick one of these "Video Nasties".
13. Friend, Family or Coworker Recommendation
Ask a friend, family, or coworker for a horror movie recommendation. , internet friends are friends too.
14. Blood or Bloody in the Title
Today is World Blood Donor day, so pick a horror movie with some variation of "Blood" or "Bloody" in the title (there's lots to choose from!).
15. Dad's Favorite* Horror Films
It's Father's Day Bedelia! Let's watch a horror movie that my late father probably liked from this list. If you've seen everything here, or can't get your hands on a pick from this list, ask your father (or a father figure) for a horror recommendation.
16. Hidden Gem - Under 10k Views
Show some love to the underdogs. Watch a horror film with less than 10k views on Letterboxd.
17. Practically Horrifying
There's no denying the talent and craft of many modern CGI artists currently in the industry, but it's hard to beat the presence, physicality, and ingenuity of having effects on-set in real life. Pick a horror film known for its groundbreaking or just plain impressive practical special effects.
18. Local (to you) Horror
Pick a film that was made in your neck of the woods. Obviously, you might have to expand your definition of "local" to find a horror film, so do your best. If you're still having trouble, consider a film that is set in your area, even if it wasn't made there, or, as last resort, you can pick something off of my list.
19. Black & White / Universal Classic Monsters
Consider a Universal Classic Monster film, but any black & white horror film will do.
20. Wheel of the Worst: Ripoff Edition
Each week, my friends and I spin a wheel of (assumed to be) bad movies, directly ripping off RedLetterMedia's "Best of the Worst: Wheel of the Worst" episodes. We've watched a lot of garbage and trash, and I'd like to share the experience.
Spin this wheel of (probably) bad horror movies from this list selected by myself and my fellow "wheel victims" and watch what the wheel has selected for you. If you can't get your hands on whatever you land on (or if you're trying to only watch new films and land on one you've seen), spin again (many of these are available on Youtube and Tubi, however). We will be spinning the same wheel, so don't worry, you won't be the only one suffering.
21. Spooky, Scary Skeletons
I have loved skeletons since I was a very small child, and have never stopped. Pick a horror film featuring skeletal spooks (skulls count because I said so).
22. Giallo
Watch one of those often wonderfully-titled giallos.
23. Fatal Fungal Feature
Watch a fungal feature, any horror film focusing on spores, molds and fungus.
24. Knee-High Nasties
Watch a horror film featuring diminutive monsters.
25. Found Footage / Mockumentary
Watch a found footage or mockumentary horror.
26. Familiar Face
Rewatch a horror movie you watched long ago that you didn't like, and give it another try, preferably something others viewers have enjoyed or that has a high rating on Letterboxd. You might find a new appreciation for it! If you want to go for a bit of extra homework while staying somewhat on theme, also watch a film that you haven't seen before that you don't think you'd like or weren't interested in, but has a high rating on Letterboxd.
27. Creepy Crawlers
Watch a movie featuring bugs, insects, spiders, worms, rats, bats, or any other creepy crawlies / "vermin".
28. Body Horror
Watch a horror film focusing on the (often literal) visceral sub-genre of Body Horror.
29. Most Popular Horror Film on Letterboxd You Haven't Seen
You want to hang out with the cool kids right? Watch the most popular horror movie on Letterboxd that you haven't seen already.
Horror on Letterboxd sorted by Popularity.

Anotha one! This is my one year anniversary of participating! I have yet to finish a list though ;v;

Hosts list here

Progress: 13/30

Rewatches: War Horse

The Prompts:
1. Happy April Fool’s Day! Watch a comedy starring an actor who isn’t usually known for being in comedic films.

2. An actor who never fails to make me laugh is Peter Falk, who was on my 2022 most-watched actors list. Watch a movie starring one of my all-time most watched actors.

3. Peter Falk often collaborated with John Cassavetes, who is the current subject on my podcast, Gone But Not Forgotten, which I co-host with my best friend Louise. Watch a movie we've mentioned in an episode or starring someone we've covered on the show.

4. The third prompt is also one on The Other Filmmakers Challenge, which I’m co-hosting. Watch a movie directed by an early female film pioneer.

5. Today is the anniversary of Kurt Cobain’s death, one of my personal idols and someone who was a pioneer in the music industry. Watch a movie with grunge/punk themes.

6. Watch a movie starring a singer.

7. One of my mom’s favorite singers is Elvis Presley. Watch one of my family ’ favorite films.

8. Watch a movie featuring real-life siblings.

9. John and Joan Cusack are one of my favorite Hollywood sibling duos. They started their careers in iconic ‘80s teen films. Watch an ‘80s movie starring a member of the Brat Pack.

10. While they may not be the world’s greatest actors, I feel like the Brat Pack doesn’t get the recognition they deserve for being the faces of an entire generation/decade of film. Sometimes the rarest movies are the best ones. Watch the most obscure film on your watchlist.

11. I love watching movies that not many people have heard of and finding out which are hidden gems and which ones deserve to be forgotten. I recently made a challenge to watch Oscar nominated/winning films with less than 10k logs on Letterboxd. Watch one of the movies in the challenge.

12. Today is my beloved Saoirse Ronan’s birthday! She is only one of two people who has earned four Oscar nominations by the age of 26. Watch one of Saoirse's movies.

13. Little Women is one of the first films I identifying with on an extremely personal level and was so glad I could watch it at the theater when it came out. Rewatch a movie that changed your life and see if it still resonates with you.

14. I usually gravitate more towards actors rather than directors. Watch a movie directed by an actor.

15. Watch a movie mentioned in Turner Classic Movies’ Essential Directors book.

16. Today is Charlie Chaplin’s birthday, who was a pioneer in acting and directing in the early 20th century. I’ve only seen one of his films and am embarrassingly not very familiar with silent movies (it’s a knowledge gap I’m hoping to fill). Watch a silent film released between the 1890s-1920s.

17. Charlie Chaplin was involved in many scandals, including being on the yacht when director Thomas Ince was murdered (Chaplin was supposedly the intended target). I don’t like true crime but am interested in all the wild stuff that went down in the early days of Hollywood. Watch a movie or documentary about Old Hollywood.

18. Today is Kenny Ortega’s birthday! He was the choreographer for Madonna’s ‘Material Girl’ music video, which pays homage to Marilyn Monroe’s ‘Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend’ number in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. What a movie that he was involved with - whether it be directing or choreography.

19. Kenny Ortega made some of my all-time favorite Disney Channel Original Movies. Watch a DCOM.

20. A majority of DCOMs are available on Disney+ and I feel like the world is so run by streaming services now. Physical media still deserves love! Watch a DVD you own (but haven’t seen yet), something from your library or a video store, or go see a new release at a theater!

21. I’m lucky to have a great video store where I live and I go there often to get recommendations. Unfortunately that means my watchlist piles up and I neglect films I added to it a long time ago. Watch one of the movies that has been on your watchlist the longest or that you've been putting off for a while.

22. I like to ask my grandma for music and movie recommendations from when she was my age. Ask someone you know what some of their favorite musical artists are and watch a movie with one of them on the soundtrack.

23. My grandma grew up in a really small town. Watch a film set in a small town in America (real or nonexistent).

24. Where I live, it rains a lot in the springtime. Watch a movie with a scene set in the rain.

25. The last prompt was recommended by my best friend Louise! She’s trying to watch every single movie in the 1001 Films You Must See Before You Die book. Watch a movie on the list.

26. Today is my birthday!! Watch one of my favorite films.

27. One of my favorite Instagram s is called Cakes in Cinema, which posts stills of cakes from all kinds of movies. Watch a movie featured on their page.

28. I used to bake a lot but don’t anymore. Finish a movie that you started but didn’t complete, or watch a movie on my ‘couldn’t finish watching’ list.

29. While my incomplete watches list is very long, I like to binge actors’ filmographies. Right now I’m focused on Tyrone Power and Henry Fonda. Watch one of their movies.

30. Today is Kirsten Dunst’s birthday! She is one of my favorite actors and I’ve watched almost all of her movies. Watch a film she’s starred in or one of her favorites - list supplied by my friend/#1 Kirsten Dunst fan, Nicholas.

1. Lay the Favorite
2. Made
3. The Godfather
4. Where Are My Children?
5. Batman & Robin
6. Company: A Musical Comedy
7. Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance
8. The Drum Beats Twice

27. speaking of my mom, and because i’m running out of ideas, watch a movie from my mom's movie shelf since we watched one from mine. :)

29. as mentioned before, i work in a coffee shop. we’re allowed to choose what plays on this small tv in the main lobby, and because i love a good list, i’ve kept track of most movies played by me and my coworkers during my shifts. watch a film from the list that begins with the first letter of your first name (if there isn’t one use your last name, and if there still is not one than shuffle that baby and watch the first one it gives you). movies i’ve put on the tv at work :)

Let's gooooooooooooooooo!!! I tried to get as many of them to be horror as I could ;v; 27/31 isn't bad I don't think :3

Hosts list here

Progress: 20/31

1. Hey everyone my name is Ndegwa and I grew up moving around a lot but a constant in my life was film. Moving around a lot you get used to long stretches on the road. Watch a road movie.

2. I’ve been into movies for as long as I can , but I think one director who was the most influential on me becoming a cinefile was Christopher Nolan. The Dark Knight came out when I was 11 and blew my young mind with what a movie and acting could be. Watch a Christopher Nolan movie. If you’ve seen them all, watch a movie starring one of the infinite number of cast spawning into his new movie Oppenheimer.

3. My grandfather is definitely someone who was integral in my movie journey. He used to show me all kinds of films when I was little. His favorite genre is westerns and his favorite movie is The Big Country. Watch The Big Country if you haven’t or any other classic western if you have.

4. In my teens I really started paying attention to filmmaking and how films were put together. That being said, I'm a sucker for movies that depict the process itself. Watch a movie about making movies.

5. As much as I love movies, acting is my ion. I’ve wanted to do it professionally forever and some of my big influences were and still are: Denzel Washington, Meryl Streep, Jack Nicholson, Robert De Niro, and Robin Williams. You know where this is going. Watch a movie starring Denzel Washington, Meryl Streep, Jack Nicholson, Robert De Niro, or Robin Williams.

6. Ok enough about my origin story let’s get into the movies. I’ve watched MANY movies over the last two years and it’s been a pretty great time for discovering older films. Watch a movie off my 2021 Favorite First Time Watches (Expanded) list.

7. For as many filmmakers as I’ve discovered since the world went to shit there are plenty I’ve yet to explore. Watch a film from a director’s filmography that you’ve been meaning to start.

8. I believe that at least if your film friends recommend you a favorite of theirs you should give it a shot. Watch a favorite film recommended from one of your friends you haven’t seen.

9. Visiting/learning about different countries & cultures is important to becoming a more well rounded person. Of course this holds true for being a cinephile. Watch a film from a country you’ve always wanted to visit.

10. So I think that the Planet of the Apes trilogy from the 2010’s is easily one of the best of all time and the final film War for the Planet of the Apes is a masterpiece. But for some reason many people I know haven’t seen it because they never saw the previous installment. Watch the earliest installment of the reboot Apes trilogy you haven’t seen or if you watched them, watch a film from this best sci-fi films of all time list.

11. The Oscars do get it right sometimes but so many great films every year go without a single nomination. Watch a movie that you think should’ve been nominated for an Oscar in any category. Bonus points if you list all the nominations that it should’ve got.

12. Animation is a medium people still don’t take seriously enough, mislabeling it as ”for kids”. Honestly it might be the truest way to tell stories visually. I’m happy that the Annie Awards celebrate animation in all its forms. Watch a movie nominated for an Annie Award.

13. There’s no way I wouldn’t have a horror prompt on here when it’s the season of tricks and treason. I love all genres of film but horror is a genre that feels almost extra special to me because it doesn’t get awards love, it can be crazy and disturbing, and some people simply don’t like to be scared. There have been so many exceptional horror films in the last several years. Watch a horror movie with a 3.5 - 4 average rating.

14. I don’t come to movies in general to feel a certain thing. Sometimes I like to watch a movie that reminds me that there’s still hope in the world. Other times, I want to leave the theater with my soul broken on the ground. And you’re going to me *cue maniacal laugh*. Watch one of Indiewire’s 35 Disturbing Foreign Films to Watch. (P.S. some like Battle Royale and Raw aren’t too bad).

15. Documentaries have been gaining popularity the last few years and they’re definitely still a blind spot for me. Watch a documentary.

16. If you’re like me, one of the factors that goes into picking a movie to watch can be the run time. I have to prepare myself for a long movie and here’s an excuse to see one. Watch a movie that’s three or more hours long.

17. That was a big runtime, give yourself something easy. Watch a movie 100 minutes or less.

18. For these scavenger hunts I try to use movies in my watchlist already. Go to your watchlist, click shuffle, and pick one of the first four movies you get.

19. Like your watchlist on Letterboxd, your watchlist on streaming services can get pretty long. Watch a movie on a streaming service you’ve had on a watchlist for awhile.

20. You’ll never be able to watch everything but that doesn't mean you can’t try haha. There’s plenty of classic movies waiting to be discovered. Watch a film made before 1960.

21. There’s countries who’ve had a vast rich film history since the beginning but I have yet to see a bad film come out of South Korea. Watch a film from South Korea.

22. Mid budget movies were everywhere growing up as a 90’s kid and now…tumbleweeds. I hope one day they can come back. Watch a mid budget movie.

23. City life has always appealed to me since there’s so much to do and the energy of a place with so many different people is intoxicating. Watch a movie that takes place in any major city.

24. Ratings are arbitrary but I still don’t give out high scores a lot unless it really hits me a certain way. Watch a movie I give 4 stars or higher.

25. The 70’s had arguably the best decade of cinema. Popular movies and critical success went hand in hand and we got an amazing group of auteurs, some still making movies today. Watch a movie from the 70’s.

26. That guy Willem Dafoe sure can act huh? I don’t know what to call this Dafoe moment that’s been going for the last five years but I’m loving it. He’s been around for so long portraying widely different characters. Watch a Willem Dafoe movie.

27. Because of the pandemic I think that 2020 will always be a lost year for movies. Virtually no theatrical releases happened so I think people will forget the movies that came out that year. But there were so many great movies that came out and thankfully to streaming services. I will always, especially in these times where movies are not the center of culture, new films and see as many as possible in the theater because more people than ever are able to tell their stories and I think as movie lovers we should now more than ever spread the word of the new. Ok speech over. Watch a film from 2020.

28. Sometimes when I hear people talk about black filmmakers it feels like they’re only talking about the “prestigious” ones that would get Oscar buzz. But of course films by Black filmmakers are so eclectic and can’t be put into one box. Watch a feature film off of the 1800+ Films Directed By Black American Filmmakers list.

29. In January 2020 I decide to embark on a journey of watching 100 Films in 100 Days to expand my horizons further and fill those gaps in my film knowledge. It’s a lot of fun and I definitely recommend it. So for this prompt, watch a film in a genre or time period or country that you’re not well versed in.

30. I’m a theater kid and I love musicals. My favorite was West Side Story (1961), but then last year Steven Spielberg did the impossible and made one of the best even a little better. Yeah come for me in the comments I can take! Anyway, watch a movie musical.

31. Wow, the last prompt. It’s been so fun making this list but something is missing…MUSIC! I listen to film scores now more than I listen to other music. Behind the acting itself, the score is probably my favorite part of the movie. Watch a film off of this film scores list or watch another film composed by one of those composers or even watch a film, composed by one of your favorite composers. The world is your oyster!

If you need an alternative to any of these prompts, watch any movie that I gave four stars or higher. Cheers to spooky season! 🎃

1. Wolf Creek
2. Insomnia
3. The Big Country
4. Man Bites Dog
5. The Night Listener

Hosts list here

19/31 watched

Prompts:
1. July 1st would be Lady Diana’s 61st birthday. Watch a movie or documentary inspired by her.

2. In honor of my name (Dern), watch a film with Laura Dern.

3. Stop motion makes me feel sick and I’ve been scared of it since I was little. We’re overcoming my fear together. As much as I don’t want to, watch a stop motion film.

4. In honor of all the Bechdel Test chatter recently, watch something that es it.

5. I live literally across the street from Astoria Kaufman Studios. Watch a movie that filmed scenes there.

6. Watch a movie with lesbians!!!!!

10. My girlfriend’s favorite actress of all time is Julia Roberts. Watch something with Julia Roberts.

11. I feel like this is the free space of every list. Do yourself a favor and sort your watchlist by popularity, then watch one of the top 3.

12. I’m a chronic rewatcher and always have been. I used to rewatch Because of Winn Dixie and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe incessantly, which I can attribute to jump starting my love of rewatching the same things to discover new things. Rewatch something you love now, or loved as a kid and see what new things you notice.

13. I am a Swiftie, for better or for worse. Watch a movie that Taylor Swift has mentioned, written songs for, or starred in.

14. Something I do in my free time is teach myself languages. I can speak English and read Dutch, and probably hold a conversation with a 4 year-old in Russian and a 1 year-old in Norwegian. Watch a film in a language you wish you could speak fluently.

15. The way my ratings work is that something gets 5 stars if I could rewatch it every day. I’m not the best judge of quality, nor will I ever be a cinephile. Watch one of my 5* movies, and know I could rewatch that every day of my life (and at one point, probably did) and not get bored. I put them in a list to make it easier.

16. Happy Emmys season! Watch a movie with an EGOT recipient.

17. Amy Adams is a two-time Razzie nominee. Watch something that has been nominated for a Razzie. Amy Adams does not have to be in it, but sure would be fun if she was!

18. Watch a movie that has characters that have been turned into Funko Pop! vinyl figures. I only own two (Beca Mitchell and the Scarlet Witch), but I think the fandom around them is so interesting.

19. If it’s not clear by now, I love women, and women in film. And that’s not just limited to in front of the camera. Watch a movie from this list made by TIFF.

20. Watch a movie starring someone with the same name as you.

21. Watch an adaptation of something. This list has notes that tell you the source material.

22. Sometimes I’ll text a friend for a movie recommendation and completely ignore it. Text one friend for a movie recommendation and do NOT ignore it.

23. My friend Paul made up #16. His favorite actor is Andrew Garfield. Watch something starring Andrew Garfield.

24. I ittedly really disliked Arrival the first time I saw it because I’m just not a sci-fi gal, but now it’s a 5-star for me. Revisit a movie you originally disliked and see if it’s grown on you.

25. Like I said before, I live across the street from Kaufman Astoria Studios. They film Sesame Street there, and have many of Jim Henson puppets on display at the Museum of the Moving Image, which is attached to the studio building. Watch a Jim Henson film.

26. Music can make or break a movie. If you go on IMDb, they have an advanced search. Change the drop down from “plot” to “soundtracks,” you can search music. Look up one of your favorite songs, and watch a movie it has been in.

27. There’s something very healing about watching a movie that you know would have helped you when you were younger. Watch a movie you wish you could show your childhood self.

28. When I say I am a chronic rewatcher of things, I mean I have watched The Haunting of Bly Manor in its entirety triple-digit amount of times. Watch something from the Mike Flanagan universe. Alternatively, watch an adaptation of The Turn of the Screw.

29. Recently, Halsey said they wanted Millie Bobby Brown to play them in a biopic. If you were to pick someone to play you in your biopic, who would it be? Watch a movie with that person.

30. I should wrap this up soon. Before I go, my friend has asked if her list is too specific. Would you mind watching an Old Hollywood Film with a Downer/Bittersweet ending?

31. Saving the best for last: I went to London in May to see Amy Adams on the West End (and met her! Twice! And it was the happiest I’ve ever been!). Watch a film starring Amy Adams.

1. Diana: The Musical
2. Blue Velvet

So, watch a film with a little person/LP who is playing a human with a speaking part and a normal name. Some films can be found HERE.
27. Bong Joon-ho famously said “Once you overcome the one inch tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films.” Watch a foreign language film, preferably from a country you’ve never seen any films from before.
28. Watch a Best Documentary Feature Oscar nominee or winner.
29. Many of my now favorite films happened to be released in 1999, making it my favorite year in cinema. Watch a movie from 1999.
30. Many films get a sequel. Then only some get a third. Watch the third film in a series/trio.

1. Tron
2. Centurion
3. Into the Forest
4. Rosemary's Baby
5. Seven Samurai
6. Images
7. Wonder Woman 1984
8. Paddington 2
9. My Girl
10. Fantastic Planet

Hosts list here!

Progress: 2/30

Prompts:
1. Happy April Fools’ Day! Watch a movie centered on pranks, hijinks, or schemes.
2. My dad is the one who really got me into movies and some of my earliest memories of movie watching include watching classic Universal monster movies and Elvis movies with him. Watch either a Universal monster movie or an Elvis movie.
3. I absolutely love going to see movies in theaters! However, I am not always the best about actually seeing my anticipated releases when they are in theaters. Watch a movie you meant to see in theaters, but didn’t get around to it.
4. I am actually starting this month off on a trip to Disneyland! However, I am typically a Walt Disney World visitor with EPCOT being my all time favorite park. Watch a movie from one of the countries in EPCOT’s World Showcase (Mexico, Norway, China, , Italy, America, Japan, Morocco, , the United Kingdom, and Canada).
5. I grew up near Dayton, Ohio, aka the birthplace of aviation! In honor of my hometown, watch a movie that heavily features aviation.
6. Not only did I grow up in Ohio, but I actually grew up on a pony farm! Watch a movie that prominently features a horse or pony.
7. Something I really appreciate in a movie is great costume design. Watch a movie that has been nominated for best costume design at the Oscars.
8. I love birthdays and get a little too excited when I find out I have a birthday twin. There are quite a few actors who share my birthday (including a couple Oscar winners). Find an actor that shares your birthday and watch one of their films.
9. Some of the best parts of movies are the side characters. Watch a movie featuring an iconic side character (or several).
10. Happy National Siblings Day! I have one older brother, so in honor of my personal sibling dynamic…Watch a movie with a brother and sister duo.
11. It seems as though every well known musician has had a movie made of their life. With the high volume of musician biopics, let's not forget other stories. Watch a non-musician biopic.
12. Traveling is one of my biggest ions and I love watching movies set in different places throughout the world. Watch a movie with a specific location in the title.
13. We are nearing the end of the 50th season of Saturday Night Live. Throughout its historic run, SNL has had many many talented host. Many of these hosts have returned time after time. Watch a movie starring one of the of the SNL Five Timers Club.
14. I spend entirely too much time on New York Times games...Watch a movie that has been used in a NYT Crossword puzzle.
15. Movies are great, but I have a soft spot for live theatre. Watch a movie that has either been adapted from a stage production or adapted into a stage production.
16. We all have holes in our movie watching. Watch a movie that you are embarrassed to it you haven’t seen yet.
17. There are lots of things that I enjoy in movies that I don’t particularly love in real life, for example the mafia. Watch a movie centered around organized crime.
18. A goal of mine is to eventually have watched a director's entire filmography. Watch a film you haven't yet seen from your most watched director.
19. Today marks the one year anniversary of the release of Taylor Swift’s 11th album, The Tortured Poets Department. In honor of her massive discography, watch a movie that has the same name as a Taylor Swift song.
20. Happy Easter! Watch a movie that is based on the Bible (either explicitly or through allegory/allusion).
21. Most people don’t have a least favorite number. But I do and it is 21. Shuffle your watchlist and watch the 21st movie that pops up.
22. We have arrived at Earth Day! Watch a movie with a blue or green poster.
23. Today is World Book Day! Watch a movie based on a book you read for school (or at least one you were supposed to read in school).
24. Despite how much I love watching movies, I don't watch much TV. But when I do, it is almost always a sitcom. To me there isn't a better show than Arrested Development (but we don't count the 4th and 5th seasons). Watch a movie featuring one of the cast from Arrested Development.
25. We have somehow made it to the halfway mark of the 2020s! Let's throw it back a bit and watch a movie set in the 1920s.
26. With the rising prices of streaming services, I am starting to gain an even greater appreciation for movies I don't have to pay extra for. Watch a movie for free (could be from a free streaming service, a movie you already own, one you find on YouTube, etc.).
27. We are one month into the Major League Baseball season. I am a diehard Cincinnati Reds fan and while it has been 35 years since their last World Series win, they have quite a promising team this year. Watch a movie that was released in one of the years the Reds won a World Series (1919, 1940, 1975, 1976, or 1990).
28. We are now in Q2 of 2025, so let's take the time to reflect on our Q1. Watch a movie that has been released so far in 2025 that you have yet to watch.
29. Let's also get prepped for the rest of the year. Watch a movie that has a sequel or remake coming out in 2025.

It's already 2025???? No way ;A;

Hosts list here!

Progress: 5/31

Prompts:
1. In the spirit of January and the start of a new year, let’s work on some resolutions. How about we start by watching a movie you actually just really want to watch to get you going and start your stats off on the right track with a fun "first watch".
2. I know it’s January, but sometimes there just isn’t enough time to get in all of the holiday films you love. Go ahead and watch a holiday film you didn’t get a chance to see. (Could be any holiday, go wild, who am I to judge?)
3. I always say I’m going to finish my lists and only do it like 10% of the time. Watch a movie from your scavenger hunt graveyard, or if this is your first, check out the master list and pick a prompt.
4. Letteboxd is one of my favorite sites, and I am addicted to closing my rings. Watch a film from one of the rings you haven’t completed yet or use this as a spot to watch a movie from another challenge you might be doing this year. [check out your "stats" page].
5. I’m a kind of voracious reader. I always want to read more, so it's always my resolution to read an unattainable amount of books. Go ahead and watch a literary adaptation.
6. I struggle between wanting to always watch new movies and missing some of my favorites. Go ahead and watch a comfort movie, or one you think might become a comfort movie.
7. In the new year, I think it’s important we all work on educating ourselves. Go ahead and find a documentary that speaks to you.
8. Who doesn’t have a resolution about their job? I work for a Tribe, and so I spend a lot of time catching up learning about Indigenous content. Watch a movie by a filmmaker from a marginalized community or starring a predominantly POC cast.
9. Forget work. Let’s talk about the fun stuff we’re looking forward to this year. Watch a film from a country you want to visit (or visit again if you already have).
10. Sometimes, I put off movies because they seem hard, or they’re long, or I just don’t feel like thinking. Watch a movie you’ve honestly been putting off for whatever reason.
11. I’m a big fan of going to the movies. Go see a movie in theaters, or stream a release from 2025 (or the end of 2024).
12. I like working through filmographies of actors and directors, but sometimes I struggle to complete them. Watch a movie from your favorite director or actor that you haven’t seen yet. If you’ve seen all of them, pick your second favorite, you mad lil lad.
13. It’s 2025, we don’t have time anymore. And frankly, I am a huge proponent of a tight 90. Watch a film under 100 minutes. (This might me by favorite list on this app tbh).
14. Let’s get to know each other, make some friends, find some common ground. Click around, find someone you either already follow or a review from a recent movie you watched that you found funny or insightful, and watch one of their four favorites.
15. We’re all trying to learn every film ever made and keep up on all the new ones, right? Go ahead and watch an old movie. I’ll let you define what old is to you, but it has to be before you were born at least.
16. Letterboxd is a very fun place to make very fun lists. I’ve found a ton that I love to revisit for these hunts. Go find a fun list and watch a movie you haven’t seen yet from it (maybe leave a comment and thank them for their dope list).
17. January is a fun month. We got a lot of sports popping off– NFL, WNBA, NBA, NHL, and CFB to name a few American classics. Watch a sports movie.
18. Last time I hosted, I made you watch a film from my favorite city and hometown, Pittsburgh. I also made you watch one from where I currently live, Miami. I’ve also lived in New York, Toronto, Brazil, California, and Virginia. Watch a movie set in any of those places.
19. A major resolution I have had for the past few years is to learn Spanish. Watch a movie in a language different from your own.
20. It’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in the US today. In the spirit of his work,watch a movie about the Civil Rights Movement, protesting, or civil disobedience.
21. Yesterday was also Inauguration Day, meaning the US has a new president and we all have feelings about it I’m sure. Go ahead and watch a movie with a president in it could be a biopic or just a fictional president.
22. My girlfriend started using Letterboxd when we started dating. She’s the true cinephile in our relationship. She definitely didn’t tell me to write this. Go ahead and watch a movie from her all time faves or from movies we’ve watched together
23. Enough about my super amazing wonderful partner. Ask your partner or best friend or sibling or whoever means a lot to you what movie you should watch for this prompt.
24. A good resolution I’ve tried to stick to is eating out less and cooking more. I love cooking, so it all works out. Watch a film about cooking, food, or restaurants.
25. New year means decluttering. Go ahead and clean out some of your watchlist by watching one here.
26. Oscar nominees are going to be announced this month. Watch a movie you think will be nominated in any category (or if you want to wait and watch one after the announcement, do that).
27. Speaking of Oscar nominations, go ahead and watch a movie or performance you think got snubbed, historically.
28. Maybe in the new year, you’ll want to spend more time with family. Watch a movie about family. Or, frankly, if you’re like me and don’t like your family, watch a movie about getting away from your family.
29. We all have gaps in our viewing, and that’s why we do these hunts. Watch a film from a genre that isn’t one of your favorites.
30. Every year, Steven Soderberg published his list of content he consumed. It usually publishes the first week of January, but if you don’t want to wait for the 2024 list, watch a movie from his 2023/4 list.
31. It’s the end of the month– you did it! We’re 8% done with 2025. Enjoy a free spot to get a jump on February.

1. Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Honeymoon, Honeymurder
2. A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter
3. The Purge: Anarchy
4. Godzilla Minus One
5. Lord of the Flies
6. The Wild Robot
7. Paul McCartney Really Is Dead: The Last Testament of George Harrison
8. The China Syndrome
9. 28 Weeks Later
10. Lemonade

...plus 21 more. View the full list on Letterboxd.

I cannot believe we're already at the end of the year ;A;

Host's list here!

Progress: 4/31

Prompts:
1. This scavenger hunt is so good, your head is going to explode. Watch a movie where a guy's head explodes.
2. I love trash. I love watching bad movies. Bad movies were my gateway drug into watching other kinds of movies, like good movies, or movies that are just ok. I learned a lot about bad movies from watching RedLetterMedia's hit YouTube sensation Best of the Worst. I also learned a lot about videos that are not necessarily movies. Watch a movie or video featured on RedLetterMedia's Best of the Worst.
3. Cameron Mitchell is a recurring presence on Best of the Worst. Wikipedia claims that Cameron Mitchell did not drink, but many of his film appearances seem to contradict this. Around 1974 Cameron Mitchell declared bankruptcy for the second time and divorced his wife, and seemingly began taking any roles that were offered to him. Now I invite you to witness a portion of his slow decline by watching any film Cameron Mitchell made after 1973. In the spirit of things, I ask that you do not watch The Other Side of the Wind. In your review, let me know how drunk you think he was while on set.
4. Before I started watching movies all the time I would watch wrestling. I'd devote so many hours of the week to watching wrestling, and talking about wrestling. Then during Covid, wrestlers started wrestling in empty arenas, with no fans in the crowd. I was watching an episode of wrestling and a wrestler got up on the turnbuckle and raised his hands above his head and started clapping, trying to amp up the crowd, but there was no crowd. That's when the illusion broke for me. I had always heard people say wrestling was fake, but I never believed it could be true until that day. Watch a movie featuring a wrestler that isn't John Cena or The Rock, because I never liked those guys.
5. Terence Young is low key one of the worst directors ever. Every movie of his that I've seen has been boring and visually ugly. Everything is dull and muddy. Even the Bond films. Yeah, I said it. Watch a Terence Young film and take solace in the fact that I cannot host again for a full year.
6. The whole list isn't going to be garbage, I promise. Before I understood how the Letterboxd scavenger hunts worked, I would just watch movies from the Random Roulette list. I sort of miss those days. me in reminiscing by watching a movie on the Random Roulette list. Use random.org to generate a number between 1 and 9,858 and watch the corresponding movie on the list. If you get something you've already seen, reroll!
7. This one is about arthropods. I think we all know what arthropods are. Watch a film with a giant arthropod. This can be any giant insect, arachnid, crustacean, myriapod, horseshoe crab, trilobite, proturan, springtail, or any other true arthropod. Films with giant velvet worms are obviously disqualified.
8. Eric Roberts is always hanging around somewhere. He can star in any sort of movie, from Babylon to Bigfoot vs D.B. Cooper. And star he does; according to Letterboxd he has appeared in over 600 films. That's far more than his lazy sister, who has only appeared in 71. So, I am fairly confident that you can find a movie in your favorite genre that features hardworking actor Eric Roberts, and then watch it.
9. When I was a kid I loved dinosaurs. Now dinosaurs have feathers. It just isn't the same. Watch a dinosaur movie, and to make it interesting, it can't be a Jurassic Park/World movie.
10. What do you think of the IMDB hive mind's Top 250 movies? Why do they come to a different conclusion than us? I think this is interesting. Try to figure it out by watching a movie that is on the IMDB Top 250 but not on the Letterboxd Top 250.
11. I love blaxploitation movies. I love the energy and they just seem like they're fun to shoot. I wish I could go back in time and be a blaxploitation director. Watch a blaxploitation movie.
12. Have you ever been in a fight? Do you know kung fu? Well, I haven't, and I don't, so I have to live vicariously through the fast-paced, action-packed kung fu and wuxia films produced by the Shaw Brothers over in Hong Kong. Watch a Shaw Brothers kung fu or wuxia film.
13. I think we can all agree that tensions are pretty high right now. Things are tense. All over the world. There's lots of crazy wars going on, and stuff. Shit's crazy. You know, they say the best way to relieve tension is laughter. So let's lighten the mood, and learn something about a culture that may not necessarily be our own, by watching a Russian, Ukrainian, Israeli, or Palestinian comedy film.
14. What if you made a really good movie but nobody watched it? Your feelings would probably be hurt, right? It makes me sad to think of all the movies on the Top 50 Films Under 5,000 Ratings list that nobody has seen. The people who worked on those films must feel so bad. Help them out by watching one of the movies on that list. And, you know, if enough people participate, maybe we can get some of them to graduate to the regular list.
15. One time I drove past a combination Taco Bell and KFC and I thought to myself, "One day I will host the Letterboxd Scavenger Hunt, and one of the prompts will be 'Watch a movie that combines your favorite genre of film with your least favorite genre of film. For example, science-fiction/musical, romantic comedy/historical, noir/coming of age, horror/family, or action/adventure.'"
16. I am fascinated by Antonio Fargas. I think he's my favorite actor. He's very versatile, despite playing a pimp 50% of the time, and he has a very interesting face. I'd put him in all of my movies. Watch a movie featuring Antonio Fargas.
17. Seventeen is my lucky number, and this is scavenger hunt 117. They aren't the same number, but whatever. Watch a movie with "luck" or "lucky" in the title. Dean Sullivan has provided a helpful list here.
18. Being in a long distance relationship sucks. I don't get to see my amazing girlfriend Beppy nearly as often as I like. Whenever I do a scavenger hunt or something like the Criterion challenge, she goes over my lists and picks out the ones she wants to watch with me. But she picks all the good ones and so I have to watch all the bad ones when we're apart, and we never have enough time to watch all the good ones. Watch a movie from her 2024 list of movies I wasn't allowed to watch without her.
19. My mom is a big movie buff. She knows everything about old movies, and it makes her so sad when I tell her I just watched Piranha 2, or Timecop. She has excellent taste in movies, so watch one of my mom's favorites.
20. They say you can't judge a book by its cover, but what about a movie? Maybe you can. Let's find out. Watch a movie that has a poster you think looks "cool."
21. Do you guys the circus? I never liked the circus. The circus was always in town during my birthday, and my family would want to go, but I didn't want to go to the circus for my birthday. I was always on edge because I was always worried that the clowns would come pick me out of the crowd to get into the ring with them, so I could never relax. But my mom really liked the circus. This prompt was her idea. Watch a movie about the circus.
22. My mom came up with this one too. Let's watch a World War 2 movie, shown from the axis perspective.
23. I used to be a big anime head. My favorite anime is Azumanga Daioh. But that's a tv show, not a movie. Let's make things interesting and ban Studio Ghibli. Watch a non-Ghibli anime film.
24. Roger Corman died :[ Watch a movie produced or directed by Roger Corman.
25. It's Christmas. Did you know Die Hard is a Christmas movie? Yeah, I did. Everyone knows. But did you know Aguirre, the Wrath of God is also a Christmas movie? Celebrate this Noel by watching a really unconventional Christmas movie.
26. One time I was watching this movie called "Hud" and I was like, wow, this cinematographer is a genius. That cinematographer was James Wong Howe. The guy is like the Caravaggio of cinema. Watch a movie with cinematography by James Wong Howe.
27. Uh, watch a movie that's just two people's names. The list will explain it.
28. I stole this one from someone else and just changed it a little. For this one, watch the 4th movie in a series. The person I stole it from used the 3rd movie, so this is like a tribute and continuation of that.
29. I like the ocean. I love boats and I love to swim and I love fishing. I don't really like pirates though. Watch a maritime movie that isn't about pirates. Here is a list, but it has a lot of pirate movies. I'm sorry, I tried!
30. As we prepare to flip over to a new year, let's look at actors who flipped from their usual styles, into the reverse style. Watch a movie featuring either an actor typically known for comedy performing in a serious role, or an actor known for being serious doing some comedy.
31. Let's see what the future has in store for us, or what the future got wrong, by watching messages from the past. Watch a film from the past that depicts the far off future years of 2024 or 2025.

1. Punisher: War Zone
2. Birdemic 3: Sea Eagle
3. The Toolbox Murders
4. See No Evil 2
5. Thunderball
6. 2067
7. Starship Troopers
8. 2 Bedroom 1 Bath
9. Cowgirls vs. Pterodactyls
10. Stand by Me

...plus 21 more. View the full list on Letterboxd.

Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hosts list here!

Progress: 2/30

Prompts:
1. November 1st is All Saints' Day. Watch a film with "saint" or some variation thereof in the title (e.g. films like The Boondock Saints or St. Vincent are eligible).
2. Before we get too far away from October, I want to fit in one more horror film - since this is the 2nd prompt of the month, let's make it a sequel. Watch a sequel to a horror film.
3. Now that the transition into November is out of the way, time to get to the real reason to host a scavenger hunt - getting other people to watch the films that I like. Watch a film from my top 100 (or, if you'd like a wider range of options, try my personal canon).
4. Mortal Kombat is one of my favourite videogame franchises. In addition to the cartoonishly bloody fun it provides, its recent entries have also featured a considerable number of characters from other works of media. Watch a film from the Mortal Kombat franchise or a film featuring a character who has made a guest appearance in the franchise (note: this does not include all the characters from the DC crossover, just the Joker).
5. We Hate Movies is my favourite film podcast thanks to how much comedy gold they mine out of the dregs of cinema. Watch a film that has been covered on the podcast. (Don't worry, they do "We Love Movies" episodes about good films as well).
6. Another podcast I've been listening to a lot recently is Blank Check With Griffin & David because their focus on directors' filmographies and how things change with each new film is a fascinating idea for a podcast. Watch a film that has been covered on the podcast.
7. There's a lot to be said for appreciating the artistic potential that can be found in the unlikeliest of places - say, by recontextualising the pointedly artificial aesthetic choices of certain "lesser" genre films as being tantamount to their own distinctive cinematic movement. Watch a film from comrade_yui's "neo-expressionism" list.
8. Two of my favourite streaming services are MUBI and Tubi, having only one letter to differentiate their names while the titles in their libraries are almost complete opposites to one another. Watch a film that is available on either service.
9. Audio commentaries are a great special feature that I always feel I should listen to more, gaining insight from a film's creators or appreciators into everything from the facets of the creative process to the signifiers of deeper meaning to the trivialities of behind-the-scenes anecdotes. Watch a film while listening to its audio commentary.
10. A good thing about these scavenger hunts is getting to find out how much you have in common with other s. For this prompt, go to my watchlist, filter it as "show films on watchlist", and watch a film that is on both your watchlist and my watchlist.
11. I collect a lot of physical media, especially now that video stores are gone and second-hand DVDs are plentiful. Watch a film on my Owned/Unwatched list or a film you own on physical media but have not watched.
12. I've always been fascinated by the idea of cult films and how they defied conventional definitions of success by building their own devoted followings. We all know the long-established cult classics like The Rocky Horror Picture Show or This Is Spinal Tap, but I want to highlight an old A.V. Club column called "The New Cult Canon" that aimed to shine a spotlight on the predominantly newer films that were building (or deserved to build) similar levels of devotion. Watch a film from the New Cult Canon.
13. Another resource that was a major early influence on me becoming a cinephile was 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die and its efforts to condense a century-plus of cinema history into a relatively manageable goal (even if they kept adding and removing films with each new edition). Watch a film that has been included in 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die.
14. Gladiator II comes out this month, which makes for a good opportunity to look back on the extensive and eclectic filmography of one Sir Ridley Scott. Watch a film he directed.
15. One of my favourite premises for a film is that of "the most dangerous game", which at its most basic is about one person hunting another one for sport but can be expanded into anything from dystopian game shows to twisted social experiments. Watch a "most dangerous game" film (here is a fairly comprehensive list of examples).
16. Seeing as this is Scavenger Hunt #116, watch a film that is 116 minutes long. Just be glad I'm not hosting Scavenger Hunt #300, I guess.
17. Roger Ebert once claimed that any film featuring M. Emmet Walsh or Harry Dean Stanton couldn't be altogether bad. Watch a film featuring either of those actors.
18. A few years ago, I started the "Chain Reaction Challenge", which involved connecting 100 different films by making each new pick relate to the last one in some way (same actor, same director, etc.) I figure the connections I made would serve as good scavenger hunt prompts and I've already decided to use a few for this hunt, but I figure I'll let you decide which of the others you'd like to use so go to the list I made and watch a film that fits one of my Chain Reaction Challenge prompts (be sure to specify which one you picked).
19. Another challenge that I'm fond of doing is the annual Criterion Challenge, which - as you can probably guess - involves watching films that are in the Criterion Collection. Watch a film from the Criterion Collection.
20. As long as we're talking about film distribution labels, I think I should acknowledge the Australian ones that do their best to bring a variety of titles to a country that does tend to get a little underserved in of physical media. Watch a film that has been released through Umbrella Entertainment or Man Entertainment.
21.Johnnie To's The Heroic Trio features three truly iconic leading ladies in Anita Mui, Michelle Yeoh, and Maggie Cheung. Watch a film featuring at least one of these ladies.
22. I once saw someone claim that, if you want to see which film is the "real" winner of Best Picture at the Oscars then you look at what won the Oscar for Best Film Editing. The accuracy of that claim is naturally debatable, but why not use it as an excuse to pay extra attention to one of my favourite aspects of the filmmaking process? Watch a film that was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Film Editing.
23. As long as we're on the topic of the Oscars, it does seem like the above-the-line award that gets the least amount of attention is the Academy Award for Best ing Actress. Watch a film that was nominated for the Academy Award for Best ing Actress.
24. A sub-genre I'm fond of is when a film takes place in 24 hours or less (especially over the course of one night). Watch a film that takes place in 24 hours or less.
25. Science fiction is one of my favourite genres so I'd like to see more of what Letterboxd considers the best of the best. Watch a film from Letterboxd's Top 250 Science Fiction Films.
26. I know it's not the most original of prompts, but seeing as we're getting close to the end of the year, this is usually the point at which I try to catch up on new releases. Watch a film released in 2024.
27. If you're a fan of "Weird Al" Yankovic, you will already know that 27 is the number that shows up a lot in his work. Watch a film that features an artist parodied by Al (this applies whether they have a song on the soundtrack or appear in the film themselves).
28. I like anthology films and how they can challenge a director (or directors) to work within constricted narrative frameworks. Watch an anthology film.
29. We're getting close to the end here, so let's focus on completion. Watch a film in a franchise/collection that you haven't finished yet (bonus points if it's the last one you need to see in order to complete the collection).
30. So we've reached the end of the month and, you know what, let's give ourselves a break by watching something quick. Watch the highest-rated short film on your watchlist.

1. Saint
2. Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers
3. Videodrome
4. RoboCop 2
5. The Rock
6. Ocean's Eleven
7. Hollow Man
8. The Canyons
9. The Great Race
10. Oddity
