March 2014 50 Movie Challenge - By Studio

[cinemaphile]

Last Month's Challenge

Well, in the absence of anyone else starting one, once again I guess I'll go ahead and start the March Challenge.

Something a little different this month: 5 movies from each studio:
Here's the major ones that came to mind. If you have a different studio you want to substitute, that's fine, as long as you do 5 from each studio (with one "miscellaneous" category). No limit on substitutions this month.

Disney (and its subsidiaries Touchstone, Hollywood, etc)
WB
Fox
Paramount
Sony
Universal
Dreamworks
Lionsgate/Summit
MGM
and then miscellaneous any others like smaller independent labels.

Just track the movies you watch.

• We have 10 categories
• 50 movies is the goal (5 from each category), but based on your own time and situation you can shoot for more or less, so we have different levels from Bronze to Platinum:
  60 Movies - Platinum
  50 Movies - Gold
  40 Movies - Silver
  30 Movies - Bronze
• If you're going to repost your entire list each time, please hide it under spoiler tags (and I also delete my previous one when I do to keep the thread tidy)
• If you are going to post pictures for the films (poster art or bluray covers, for example) please try not to use GIANT pictures, and if there are tons of them, again - please hide under spoilers

I'm in this time. I average 80 a month, so just hope I hit enough as I just have been knocking out a lot of early 90s stuff. April I will do 80s, May will be 70s, etc.

I like the studio idea though.

Maybe next month we'll do by decades - motivate people to watch some stuff they otherwise might not.

That's a good way of doing it. I usually take a few years each month. Basically doing 91-92 this month.

Just watched BOYZ.IN THE HOOD, so I'm good for one Columbia/Sony! :-)

I like the idea, but the main problem with this challenge is it really limits foreign and independent films.

The studios listed were just main suggestions. You can swap out any and all studios for others. No limit on substitutes this month.

Are there primary studios that put out enough foreign/indie films to get 5 each, or are there too many/too random?

[cinemaphile]

but now that's only five categories. We usually do ten categories, five movies each.
We don't need to combine unless people are going pre-1920.

cheat however you want. As always, this is just for fun. We are not strict at all here. If you need to bend rules or get creative, go for it.
