A 162 minute long Disney Channel-original movie, just with a bigger budget. Please give me one legitimate reason why it needed to be so long. And it's just a part 1? Why? They wanted more money, so they stretched a 30 minute part into almost 3 hours? Yeah, we get it, bullying someone for looking different is bad. Uninspired from start to finish, and that's including most of the lackluster musical numbers.

Hooptober XI - Film #15 of 31

-2/2 films made primarily or entirely in Texas

Listening to Loretta Swit calling out Franks name definitely brought back some memories. Pretty good campy action flick, but maybe not the best inclusion in Hooptober

Hooptober XI - Film #14 of 31

-5/5 ALL of the films from a horror franchise with at least 4 entries

A 70 minute mishmash of Dracula, Wolf Man and Frankensteins monster, and yet the main focus is on a love triangle between Wolf Man, a random dancer, and wannabe Ygor.

Hooptober XI - Film #13 of 31

-2/2 Indian films
-1/1 film caused by/worsened by weather

I never could have imagined I would like a horror film about a gold shitting monster this much. The visuals were on point throughout, and while the story and themes were simple, it didn't need to be anything more.

Hooptober XI - Film #12 of 31

This is why I rent instead of own

Hooptober XI - Film #11 of 31

-1/2 films made primarily or entirely in Texas
-8/8 decades: 1960s

Wow. I think I've forgotten just how shit some films can be. This was actually excruciating.

Hooptober XI - Film #10 of 31

-4/5 ALL of the films from a horror franchise with at least 4 entries
-7/8 decades: 1940s

So this is the point they stopped caring.. Well, they made it longer than a lot of other horror-franchises

Hooptober XI - Film #9 of 31

-3/6 countries: Italy

-1/2 Horror comedies

The best trilogies the world has to offer, and someone not that great. I'm ranking them all as a whole, so if one out of the three is a lot weaker (i.e. The Godfather part III), it will show on the ranking. Franchises with more than three movies (i.e. Mission: Impossible and Harry Potter) are disqualified if there's not a clear distinction between the first three and the fourth (i.e. Die Hard and Indiana Jones)

I have watched some of these before, but unless I've seen it in the last year or so, it's gonna get a rewatch.
The trilogies are ranked at the top and represented by what I feel is it's strongest movie, and at the bottom, there's the movies I'm watching next. Full rankings in notes.

(If there is any confusion, The Star Wars prequel trilogy are the lowest rated, and the ratings ends there)

Title pretty descriptive. People on here are pretty good at digging up obscure films, so I doubt all of these are new to you, but hopefully this list could help you discover a new favourite!

Oslo, 31. august, Force Majeure, Son of Saul, Kumiko the Treasure Hunter, Bone Tomahawk, Song of the Sea, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night.

My "Wall of Shame", films I have yet to have seen, that I really should have seen by now, or just want to have seen, either because of how popular it is, how highly rated it is, or that it fills a hole in a directors filmography, etc. I'm really not good at finishing these kind of lists, but I like doing it anyway.

As I'm always talking about my "train-films", I thought I'd make a list to actually keep track of them.

For those who don't know, I live five and a half hours away from my hometown, and that means a lot of rides on the train back for Christmas, summer vacation and more. And since I'm so bad at watching the really long films on my own, back in 2016 I decided the train was the best place to watch them. Because what else was I supposed to do?

So everytime I've taken the train back to my hometown, I've usually found one 2.5+ "masterpiece" to watch alongside a shorter film, the quality depending on how drained I was from the first one.

So this is a list for everybody to mock my inability to get my shit together, and see just how much I suck. Because these films should not be that hard to watch, and I shouldn't need the train to do so. And yet, here we are..

To prove my point; I've given 16 out of 29 films a 4.5 star rating, and there's only one film with a rating below 3.5

1. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
2. Seven Samurai
3. On Body and Soul
4. The Deer Hunter
5. Once Upon a Time in the West
6. All the President's Men
7. Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father

I have tried this challenge three years in a row, and last year was my most successful one yet, and I only completed 48. But even though I'm probably not going to complete it this year either, it pushes me to get my act together and watch films I really need and want to see. Either it's because of how popular they are, how high the average rating is, to watch more from a specific director, or just the impact the film has had on pop culture.
So here are the 100 films I'm going to try to watch in 2018!

Keeping the watched films at the very bottom, with the first one at the bottom, working my way up. The rest are listed alphabetically on top
