November 2018 50 Movie Challenge

[kingdoxie]

November Theme: Make-Your-Own-Challenge (40 movies)
For November, clear out that backlog of unwatched movies 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.

November Recommendations Category (optional): Science Fiction and/or Fantasy (5 movies)
Watch 5 movies you haven't seen before from the titles recommended by other members. In your initial tracking post, everyone list 5-10 Sci-Fi and/or Fantasy films you think others may enjoy. Then for the ones you watch for this category, mention who recommended the film in your post.

November Featured Category (optional): Foreign/International (5 movies)
These can be either foreign language films or English language films produced and filmed outside the U.S. (Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, etc.)
___________________________________

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.

Do Fantasy-Dramas count? I added What Dreams May Come, Field of Dreams, and Meet Joe Black. Just in case people haven't seen them.

Yes. Anything with fantasy elements can count - like I have Heart and Souls on mine which is a comedy with fantasy elements, and Hotel Artemis, which is an action movie with just a very few scifi elements.

We aren't strict. It's all very casual here.

Not sure if I've already brought this up before, but a great tool for tracking down movies you want to watch for recommendations or whatever is justwatch.com. Just search any title and it will let you know on which of like 40+ streaming services it is available to watch for free and on which ones you can rent it.
It even has options for different countries.

Starbuck (2011)

A French-Canadian film about a man who fathers 533 children via a spxrm bank and a number of years later 142 of them file a lawsuit to have his identity revealed. I understand French pretty well but there is the odd word and phase that I don't catch so I followed along on my tablet. This is a funny feel good movie. I adore Patrick Huard. I just wish he was in more English language films. They remade this a couple years later with the same writer director starring Vince Vaughn. I'll check it out one day just to see how it compares.


Just as an aside, it's ridiculous that you can't say spxrm on here. It's not a swear word for God sake.
