January Recommendations Category: 2018 First-Time Watches (5 Movies)
In your initial tracking post, everyone list 5-10 films you watched for the first time in 2018 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.

The rest of the 20 movies for the challenge are up to you. Categorize them however you want.
___________________________________

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.

4. Red Sparrow
5. Red Sparrow

which we won't allow. He will need to think of 4 others

A film you've never seen before that is directed by a woman:



Cutting Edge: The Magic of Movie Editing (Wendy Apple) - ½ (first-time viewing, YouTube)

Another great movie-making documentary to add to my list alongside Score, Side-By-Side, and so many others...
