2. May Recommendations Category: Science Fiction* (5 movies)
* 5 movies you haven't seen before from the titles recommended by other members. In your initial tracking post, everyone put a list of at least 5 Sci-Fi movies 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.

3. The rest of your movies for the month can be categorized however you please! However, we recommend a "Movie Moms" category And, of course, if you'd like you can choose to do more than 25 items from the Scavenger Hunt lists!

___________________________________

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 Bronze to Platinum:
    60 Movies - Platinum
    50 Movies - Gold
    40 Movies - Silver
    30 Movies - Bronze
  • If you're going to repost your entire list every 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.

My Recommendations:
I know most of mine are fairly common (and relatively recent) and most people will have already seen them, but I love them all and thought I would recommend them in the event anyone here hasn't, and just needed a reason to finally check them out.

* In your initial tracking post, everyone put a list of at least 5 Sci-Fi movies 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.
I updated my post with some recommendations. Hope I'm doing it right.

Sure.

From the OP:

3. The rest of your movies for the month can be categorized however you please! However, we recommend a "Movie Moms" category And, of course, if you'd like you can choose to do more than 25 items from the Scavenger Hunt lists!
