December 2017 50 Movie Challenge - Blu-ray Forum

kingdoxie · 11-28-2017, 07:00 PM

December Theme: Make-Your-Own-Challenge (40 movies)
For December, just chill and organize your movies into categories of your choosing (be creative). The goal is 8 categories of 5 movies each but you can divide up your 40 movies however you want.

December Recommendations Category: Movies set during the holidays/winter and/or cult classics (5 movies)
5 movies you haven't seen before from the titles recommended by other members. In your initial tracking post, everyone list 5-10 holiday/winter/cult classic films that you think others may not have seen and may enjoy. Then for the ones you watch for this category, mention who recommended the film in your post.

December Featured Category (optional): Holiday Films (5 movies)
Holiday themed films (Christmas/Hannukuh/Kwanzaa/Festivus/New Year).
___________________________________

The Usual Fine Print:

50 movies is the goal, but based on your own time and situation you can shoot for more or less, so we have different levels from Coal to Platinum:
60 Movies - Platinum
50 Movies - Gold
40 Movies - Silver
30 Movies - Bronze
20 Movies - Copper
10 Movies - Coal
<10 Movies - Why are you on this site?
If you're going to re-post your entire list every time, please hide it under spoiler tags.
If you're going to post pictures for the films (poster art or Blu-ray covers, for example) please try not to use GIANT pictures, and if there are tons of them, again - please hide under spoilers.

The Ref (1994)

4/5

first time viewing (NETFLIX)

I thought this was pretty hilarious. The cast and script/dialogue are great.

cinemaphile · 12-17-2017, 08:48 AM

15 down so far. I need to pick up the pace.

5/5

cinemaphile · 12-24-2017, 09:42 PM

These latest ones bring me to all of 25. Just halfway

I have some free time for the next week, but I don't think I have THAT much free time

Stupid December - between being super busy time at work and family obligations, that left a lot less time for movies.

Wow. Really lagging this month.

cinemaphile · 12-28-2017, 10:10 AM

Well I've at least passed 30. I will probably make 40 for silver, though gold is unlikely.

Rogue One

Wow, watching this again made me realize what a dumpster fire The Last Jedi turned out to be.

filmbuffTX · 12-28-2017, 01:12 PM

Call Me By Your Name (2017)

4/5

first time viewing

Great film. Finishes strong! Timothee Chalamet definitely deserves Best Actor of the Year considerations. He was good in Lady Bird as well.

I will probably fit in another 3 or 4 before the month is out. Still not enough for Gold, but at least I made Silver.

I finished the month with over 80 full length features and about 15 other features that were an hour or less. 49 were first time viewings.

Best New Watches: The Ref, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets 3D, Die Hard.

Everything I saw in theaters this month was great too: Lady Bird, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, Call Me By Your Name, The Last Jedi - IMAX

Best Re-Watches: Too many to list. It was fun revisiting the Problem Child Franchise.

Worst Watches: Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie's Island Adventure

Everything I saw in theaters this month was great too: Lady Bird, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, Call Me By Your Name, The Last Jedi - IMAX Best Re-Watches: Too many to list. It was fun revisiting the Problem Child Franchise. Worst Watches: Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie's Island Adventure List: [Show spoiler]
