Challenge: 26 Movies

Posted on the January 21st, 2010 under love& life, politics & pop culture by Sue

In lieu of doing the 101 things in 1001 days challenge, I thought I’d try doing a series of mini challenges. For more information, please visit the challenge page.

Challenge Title: 26 Movies
About: There are tons of movies out there that I’ve never seen. Over the course of 2010, I hope to see 26 movies I’ve never seen before. But here’s the catch: each movie must start with a different letter of the alphabet.

Rules:

Obviously, I must not have seen the movie before.
It doesn’t matter when the movie was released.
It doesn’t matter where I see the movie – movies I see in a movie theater, on TV, on demand, on DVR, or on DVD/Blu-Ray all count.
If the movie title begins with “the”, the first letter of the second word is what will count. For example, The Lovely Bones would count as “L”.
It doesn’t matter what order I see the movies in. For example, it’s OK if I see the movie for “x” before I see the movie for “m”.
I must have seen all 26 movies by 11:59 on 31 December 2010.
I must post a blog whenever I see a movie that counts towards this challenge. A synopsis, where I saw the movie, the director, the cast, and my thoughts of the movie must be included in said post.

What I’ve seen so far

Adam (2009)

Beautiful (2009)

Coco Before Chanel (2009)

Ordinary People (1980)

Time Traveler’s Wife, The (2009)

Valkyrie (2008)

As of 22 February 2010, I’ve seen 6 of the target 26 movies.
