January 2021 Movie Challenge Scavenger

[Travis]

Goal: Watch 50 movies in the month of January.

Scavenger Hunt: Watch 25 movies that fit each category from the list below. You may substitute up to five from the list of alternates. Or really challenge yourself and do all 50.

In your first post list 5-10 ideas for the scavenger hunt. Some will be added to the list below.

Featured Category: Unwatched Movies. 5 movies that have been sitting on your shelf too long.

January Recommendations Category: Recent (5 Movies)
In your initial tracking post, everyone list 5-10 that were released between 2015-2020. Mention who recommended the movies you watch in your posts.
