February 2016 50 Movie Challenge

[DanTheMan]

As suggested by members Travis and cinemaphile, we're returning back to the "movie chain" game, where you start off with a movie by a filmmaker of your choice (actor, actress, director, writer, cinematographer, or composer), then continue your next selection provided it connects in some way with the previously mentioned filmmaker guidelines. For example:

1. Scarface (Michelle Pfeiffer)
2. Stardust (Michael Vaughn)
3. X-Men: First Class (Jennifer Lawrence)
4. Silver Linings Playbook (David O. Russell - screenwriter)
5. Three Kings (Mark Wahlberg)

This will continue until you've reached 50 films total (and beyond if you like), or you can opt for 25 films under these guidelines, and the other remaining 25 films will be spread out via 5 categories (your choice) with 5 films per category like we have done in the past. Only specific rule for the categories is: You MUST include Romance as one of the five categories.

• 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 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.
• 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

You can use them more than once. Try to separate them by a few films if you can to make it more challenging.

[jacobsever]

What's the point of reserving a spot? I feel like most people either quote and add their newly watched films as it goes along. Do that many people actually go back and edit their original post?

[cinemaphile]

I use my original post as my running post I always edit, and then quote it after about every 5 films added. Reserving an early spot just makes it easier for me to find it fast instead of looking through multiple pages to copy a previous one.
Some people prefer to post every movie as they watch it. There are no set rules.

I'll try but I don't even know if I'll make it to even 30.

Some people prefer to post every movie as they watch it. There are no set rules.

Gotcha!

I'm probably going to have to sit this one out. I just can't abide by the rules. I'm still trying to catch up with as many 2015 movies as I can, so there's no "chain" going on. In fact, all 32 films I watched in January were either a 2015 or 2016 release. Beginning of the year for me is all about catching up on hard to find releases from the previous year, or starting the new year off. Enjoy guys!
