Begins one minute past twelve a.m. September first / concludes midnight November thirtieth. You may NOT use a film you have already seen, even in part (excluding trailers), for this challenge. All films MUST be new to you. Each film chosen for the challenge may be used ONLY ONCE. Apple TV and Netflix productions ARE acceptable.
The first five people to complete the challenge prior to November thirtieth will each receive an Amazon gift card valued at twenty dollars. The one person to accumulate the most points at the challenge’s conclusion will receive an Amazon gift card valued at fifty dollars. Each film is valued at ten points, yielding a total points of two hundred fifty. Details of a bonus round will be revealed October fifteenth.
To be eligible for prizes, you must be a member of The Fall Film Challenge Facebook group OR have open communication with me with regard to your progress. If you choose to join the group, once you’ve chosen your films to fit the below categories, post your list to the group’s page or email it to quirkypickings at icloud dot com so that I may add your selections to a master list.
The Categories: Choose twenty-five films featuring actors who have appeared on Saturday Night Live as regular cast members or those who have hosted the show three or more times. I give you free rein with regard to whom you choose — you do NOT have to use the actors pictured above. Selected films do NOT have to be comedies, but… given the state of things, I thought we could use some humor.
I’d like to try this. Not sure if I can do it, but I’ll try!
Oh, girl, last year I didn’t watch a single film from my OWN list. There have been times I’ve barely gotten halfway through. I’m more interested in creating conversations about stories and good cinema. Happy to have you join. THANK you for wanting to participate.
Okay. I’m sorry to do this guys… but both my parents will be having heart surgery in a couple weeks–Mom on Sept. 4 and Dad on Sept. 14. I’m cancelling the challenge this year. I don’t have the energy to do this thing right now. I thought once people got involved I might feel better about doing it… and would welcome the distraction… but I can’t do it. I’m sorry. Thank you to those who have expressed interest–I am most appreciative to you for that. Peace.
