November 2024 50 Movie Challenge

[kingdoxie]

November Theme: 30 Years of Film (30 movies)
The goal is to watch 30 films from 30 consecutive years. For an extra challenge, curate your list from a single genre (comedy, drama, romance, crime, Sci-Fi, etc).

Recommendations: The Best of 2024 (5 movies)
5 movies that you haven't seen before from the titles recommended by other members. In your initial tracking post, everyone list 5-10 great movies that you saw for the first time in 2024 (not necessarily released in 2024). Avoid past recommendations.

Featured Category (optional): Thanksgiving/Autumn (5 movies)
Select 5 movies that take place during Thanksgiving or autumn.

Remaining Categories: Create your own (10 movies)
Watch whatever you want and create your own categories or you can add 10 years to the main challenge.
___________________________________

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 or .gifs for the films (poster art or Blu-ray covers, for example) please try not to use GIANT pictures or .gifs, and if there are tons of them, again - please hide under spoilers.

As midnight approaches and I'm about to start another movie, I figure I'll just make it my first for December and call November done.

As expected, a bit of a weak showing with just 28 films due to lots of IRL business, 12 of them first-time watches.
