May 2018 50 Movie Challenge - Blu-ray Forum

kingdoxie · 04-26-2018, 01:37 PM

Main Theme: Make-Your-Own-Challenge (40 movies)
For May, just chill 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.

Recommendations Category: Recent films (2016-2017) (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 films released in 2016-2018. Then for the ones you watch for this category, mention who recommended the film in your post.

Featured Category (optional): Movies directed by actors turned director and/or movies about mothers (for Mother's Day) (5 movies)
Movies directed by former/current actors. The actor doesn't need to be in the film, just directed by them. Here's an IMDB list to get you started. Or you can watch movies about mothers.
___________________________________

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.

The Little Death (2010)

A total bomb, I'm honestly not expecting much out of this category but hopefully the rest I have lined up at least have some redeeming production values.

cinemaphile · 05-11-2018, 02:03 AM

A little behind pace already. Before today I hadn't watched anything in four days!

(actually, just not any movies. I binged Cobra Kai

)
Up to 10 so far for the month:

The Day After Tomorrow (2004)

1/2

I'm a sucker for Disaster flicks or End of the World as we know it scenerios. Some of course, are better than others. This one was fairly decent with a good cast of actors.

Always did have mixed feelings about this one, but the flooding and ice age scenes made it worth seeing.

Some of course, are better than others. This one was fairly decent with a good cast of actors.
