Listal 2020 Movie Challenge
There is one major rule:
Watch one movie from each category that you have not seen before.
The movies must to be new to you!
Other things:
- Some categories have a specific list you can chose from ("listal feature" categories, or other specific lists). You must pick a film from that source. Otherwise you are free to do your own research and find any movie that fits the category.
-It's a list of 52 so it's set up that you can watch one film per week. But you can watch the movies at any pace you want and in any order you want, you don't have to follow any particular schedule.
If you would like to participate you can leave your monthly or yearly movie diary links in the comments! Also feel free to ask questions or tell me if I made any errors.
That's it! Here's the list.
