Topic	~ BCT's Epic 169 Movie Watch-Through (mostly '00s): Topic 1 [THE LIST] ~
BlueCrystalTear 09/15/22 10:21:58 PM #1:	What the hell am I doing to myself? This will be a *long* project. Each of you gets five nominations off THE LIST (every DVD I own, sans James Bond movies I have memorized), replacing as I watch them: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kRkfiaMD8dddREBYH37OWtI7jfbhvxoKyyovYxtorD0 How do nominations work? Each person gets five. No trades allowed. Once I watch one of your five, you get a new vote. All unviewed movies are fair game and I'll pick from those with the most votes, genre depending on mood and timeliness (i.e. watching Elf in December). There may be rare times I'll watch whatever I want; this is the only way I'll rewatch a movie before this is over. Zachnorn and Johnbobb already nominated because I asked them to. Johnbobb gets three more since he did it blind in his top 5s topic. One caveat: If you nominate a later movie in a series (save for Spy Kids 2), it will defer to the first and move through series order. So a vote for The Dark Knight Rises would start at Batman Begins before moving to The Dark Knight and finally to Rises. You do not replace this vote as it stays as one of your five. This will be denoted on THE LIST with a * for each movie your vote would move to. Keep in mind that I'd like to watch series movies relatively close together, so there's not a huge gap that would require me rewatching the prior movie(s). How did these movies get decided? All of these are DVDs, except for the ones colored blue (BluRay) and purple (Disney+). About half were found at my parents' place when they sold their condo. The rest were picked up from the clearance of a used disc store that's closing (RIP). I kinda went crazy and spent more money than I'd have liked but I needed a good splurge for once! Some of you may have voted in my topic surveying definitive 2000s movies - if you didn't figure it out, that existed to help me complete THE LIST. I found all of what I singled out in that topic (all but one legally). Thank you guys for that! Please note that I will not be adding anything else to THE LIST as of this time. Except maybe a couple MCU movies if needed for Age of Ultron. Why haven't you seen [MOVIE]? Because I haven't. Please don't judge me! I was never very social and my mom always hated R-rated movies. If my sister, who worked at the movie theater for a while, let me sneak into one, we'd both be grounded - and my mom WOULD have found out. This topic exists to rectify my past folly and see a lot of good movies that I either never saw or haven't in a while. How long will this last? Over a year. I intend to watch 3 per week but there may be times when I only get one or two in. It will depend on how busy or sane I am. I do have other projects here - I have NOT forgotten and will get to them as my life allows. ~~~ My parents also gave me a really nice recliner - one that's better than those at modern movie theaters (lumbar controls!), so that's going to be nice to watch this in. The first one will probably be this Saturday - I wanted to post this a couple days in advance to allow people to nominate. Let me know if you have questions and I'll answer them to the best of my ability! --- [This post adds nothing to the discussion but for whatever reason I felt the need to say it anyway.] <cite>BlueCrystalTear posted [p:968065982] in ~ BCT's Ep...
