Another thought, instead of making the 10 set, have a bunch, and let the participants choose which 10 they want to watch?

I like this idea, cause Foreign and Western are just not working for me. I'm nearly there for July, but it's hard to do when you HAVE to watch others flicks that don't count first. And everything I'm seeing tomorrow at the theater will NOT count either. Argh.

I wish I would have put in a Wild Card category... So you have a catch all for some of those films that don't fit in any other category.

It would definitely be helpful. As it is, I'll have to put off some of my blind-buys because they won't fit anywhere.

No big deal though; without the wild card, it's more challenging.

Computer Animation

History
Cheese Covered Action, like Cobra, Commando, Expendables...or just cheese fom actors that have appeared in The Expendables.
I kinda like having people have a choice... I would not participate if someone choose Anime because I have no desire to watch one Anime film, not to mention 4 or 5. So someone may really not like cheesey action pics.


Another thought I had was selecting 10 from the genres used here at blu-ray.com. If a film isn't listed there, it doesn't count....

I think picking your own genres is pretty interesting, the way I would personally approach the challenge if it were pick your own, is I would pick around half or so of my genres be genres that I know I really need to explore deeper.

on the flipside, having set genres might make people explore stuff they normally wouldn't have...
