Every Autumn/fall Jenn does a film challenge and this year I am going to join. As if I need any more excuses to watch endless amount of Tv. It is sounds like such a fun challenge and I beg you all to join in. Not as if you need any persuading when I tell you that you can win prizes.
It starts September 1st and runs through until November 30th so you have nearly 3 months to watch 25 movies. Although it'll probably take me less than a month, I could watch movies all day everyday. You still have time to pick your movies too because lets be honest that'll be the hardest part. You can read more about the challenge and join here.
I was thinking to myself this will be easy, 25 movies to pick no problem. Then I realised that they have to be released in the theatre and you can't of seen them before. It isn't called a challenge for no reason.
So without further adieu here are the categories.
1| Any set in New York City- Breakfast at Tiffany's. I am so ashamed of myself that I have never watched this, such an iconic film. I cannot wait to watch this one.
2|Any incorporating hot air balloons in the story- Had to Google this one because the film I was going to choose (Up) I have already watched! So instead I am going with Casanova.
3| Any featuring a child as the main character- Stand by Me.
4| Any Disney film- This is one of the hardest ones for me, I love Disney films and I am pretty sure I have watched the majority of them. I am going to go with Maleficent, I watched the trailer but never got around to watching the movie.
5|Any set in egypt OR that has an egyptian character OR that stars an egyptian actor/actress- The Mummy. Not looking forward to this one.
6| A close friend or family member's favorite film- The Shawshank Redemption. My dads favourite film of all time and again another one that I should of seen but haven't.
7| Any with the word great in the title- The Great Gatsby. I love Leonardo DiCaprio and really enjoyed the book.
8| Any starring Harrison Ford- The Age Of Adaline. Booked tickets to see this but was too ill to go, didn't even know Harrison Ford was in this until I looked.
9| Any featuring an idiot as the main character- Borat.
10| Any mentioned in levis strauss' list: denim in the oscars: a look at jeans in cinema. One flew Over the Cuckoos Nest!
11| A film about a knight- Brave Heart.
12| A love story- The Notebook. I know I know, my mum loves this film but I haven't watched it.
13| A movie about something miraculous- Like Jenn Cinderella. The new one has had tons of great reviews so can't wait to see how close it is to the original.
14| Any starring an actor/actress with the same first name as yours- My name is the most uncommon name regarding actresses so the movie will probably be the best out of a bad bunch. Scream.
15| A film about the Olympics- Cool Runnings.
16| A film on Time magazine's list- Citizen Kane.
17| Any with a question in the title- Did you hear about the Morgans?
18| Any with a score of ninety percent or greater on Rotten Tomatoes- Silver Linings Playbook.
19| A film about a superhero- The Avengers.
20| Any with subtitles- R.E.C My friend recommended this to me and after looking what it is about I think I could get into it.
21| Any incorporating unicorns in the story- Stardust. Copied Stephanie because I couldn't find any others I was that interested in.
22| A film about a personal victory- The Duff.
23| A film with black or white in the title- The Women in Black 2. Seen the first one and enjoyed it, seen it in the theatre and loved it even more but I haven't seen the second one.
24| Any set in a country you would most like to visit- Jaws 2. The first one scared me when I watched it as a child so never watched the second one!
25| A film set in a zoo- Zookeeper. I love Kevin James he is so funny so I hope this film follows suit.
Please don't judge me for all the iconic and great films I haven't watched yet, I much prefer Tv shows than movies. Binge watching is my style.
