I'm pretty happy with my list, 61 total. That's two months in a row I hit 60 films, I'm hoping I can keep that momentum going.

[Travis]

So far challenge has been good. Watched two movies that weren't on my radar. All Things to All Men was pretty good. Worth a rental fee. Vampire Academy not so much but glad I gave it a try.

I have the opposite problem, I don't have Netflix right now so I'm limited to my own collection. Makes it slightly less fun since I'm not able to explore and watch a bunch of new films.

Bedazzled (2000)

I figured I'd sneak one more movie into this month's marathon since it's a romcom. Yes folks, my final film of the month is Bedazzled. A film in which Brendan Fraser and Elizabeth Hurley were huge stars when it came out but whose stock and careers have taken something of a nosedive in the time since. It's a decent enough film, but the ending is corny. Three stars.

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?
