March 2018 50 Movie Challenge

[kingdoxie]

Main Theme: A-Z (25 movies)
You can drop one letter (Q, X, and Z are popular drops but you decide) and you can substitute a number title (ex: The 400 Blows) for another letter.

Featured Category (optional): Women-centric films (5 movies)
These can be either women behind the camera (director, writer, producer, editor, etc.) or women-centric story/characters on screen. Here is a list of films directed by women to give you some ideas.

Recommendations Category: Real world places in the title (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 films with real places in the title (city, state, country, continent, river, mountain, etc.) 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.

Remaining Categories: Member's Choice (15 movies)
Your remaining 15 movies can be put into whatever categories you want. You can substitute the featured category to Member's Choice if you want for a total of 20 movies.
___________________________________

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.
