We did our July 10 a little different. We went on Letterboxd, picked a genre, and either filtered by overall popularity OR highest rating

So we'd take a look at the most popular action movie of all time vs the highest rated action movie of all time. Then we took the top one that we hadn't seen (either the most popular or highest rated)

And this list is what we were left with

https://letterboxd.com/curtislost23/list/july-genre-challenge/

Schindlers List and Big Lebowski. Schindler's oddly enough i saw it in class. Def a great movie but one that's hard to rewatch, you know?
But it's been forever so i'm game.

I've seen Big Lebowski, Schlinders List, Inside Out, & Clockwork Orange.

But I don't mind re-watching or going rogue for those few.

So these were either the highest rated or most popular of a genre (that we haven't seen):

Adventure: Lawrence of Arabia
Animation: Grave of the Fireflies
Family: Inside Out
Comedy: The Big Lebowski
Crime: A Clockwork Orange
Drama: Schindler's List
Horror: Diabolique
Music: This Is Spinal Tap
Romance: Before Sunset
Western: Once Upon a Time in the West


You don't have to do the top rated/most popular tho. You can do that or you can do what we did last month and just pick ten movies/ten genres. WHATEVER FLOATS YER BOAT!

Yeah starting fresh with your own lists is good too, no need to base it off mine if you'd rather pick stuff that you personally have been putting off (or the top rated/most popular for you instead of for me). I'd probably go with that since my July list isn't super exciting since they were pretty much picked for me

but if you DO decide to use mine as a guide then make sure you watch Before Sunrise instead of Before Sunset since it came first

LOL when i glanced at it i thought it was before sunrise.

I'll work on a similar list and see but i am keeping some of your suggestions for sure.

Action: Heat Drama: Paterson Comedy: Wedding Crashers Foreign: The Handmaiden Horror: Invasion of the Body Snatchers Science Fiction: The Fly Romance: Before Sunrise Documentary: Icarus Animation: My Life as a Zuccini Western: Bone Tomahawk June challenge...DONE! Reminder: Sugarboogerz and I just picked 10 movie genres and one movie we hadn't seen from each one. We did it at the start of June and gave ourselves the month to work through the ten ONTO JULY! Other ppl join us. You get a nice variety of movies across different genres. It's a good way to watch movies you've been putting off for ages

Horror: Invasion of the Body Snatchers

Did you like this movie?

Also, I was instrumental in driving Alien to the top of your friends' faves list lol.

Horror: Invasion of the Body Snatchers Did you like this movie?

Curtis @ 29/6/2018 16:33

Invasion of the Bodysnatchers The Donald Sutherland version. Liked it a lot! Spoiler + I knew about the famous scream at the end so that was a bummer (still a great scene). BUT I figured he was screaming at the main girl so when she died I was SHOCKED. That was a brutal death too, some pretty gnarly effects in this

sure did!

I love that movie! I also like the remake with Nicole Kidman.

I wasn't as big a fan of the Kidman one but i'm finding I'm more a fan of her in general, is that strange?

No, I love Nicole Kidman.

Decided to make a studio ranking list for BLUMHOUSE similar to A24 and Pixar

https://letterboxd.com/curtislost23/list/blumhouse-ranked/

lol @ Whiplash being on there, does not fit at all

I didn't realize that I had seen almost every Blumhouse movie until seeing that list.

I was surprised by the quality tbh, I sorta assumed they mostly produced a lot of the PG-13 horror bull throughout the years with the occasional hit. BUT NAW. They've got some good stuff
