I've been challenged to do this by @theheadknight and I'm currently stuck inside and forced to depend on social media for most social interaction, so sure let's do it.
Day 1: The First Film You Remember Watching
Honestly, I have no idea. I'm going to say Star Wars: A New Hope because I can't really remember ever NOT knowing Star Wars and because my dad's obsessed so realistically he would've shown it to me very early.

Day 2: Movie I like that starts with the first letter of my name
Blindspotting - Daveed Diggs rapping, social relevancy AND it’s set in the East Bay?? Uhhh... yes!

Day 5: Where a Character Has a Job I Want
Honestly, I don't remember if we ever see a screenwriter in Om Shanti Om but the movie covers two generations of Bollywood. There's gotta be one somewhere in there...

Day 6: Favorite Animated Film
The Wind Rises - Miyazaki shedding his more fantastical tendencies without losing the sense of wonder he excels at to capture one’s sense of passion and the dangers that come with it

Day 8 - A film where you liked the soundtrack more than the movie (I’m posting two today cause I forgot yesterday)
Dazed and Confused - Look I like the movie but there’s a reason they spent 1/6th if the budget on music rights

Okay everyone doesn't love it but, like... Frozen 2 is bad

Day 10: Favorite superhero movie
Spider-Man 2 - Emotional nuance! The struggles of choosing responsibility! Great action sequences! Weird campiness! A complex villain!

Day 14: A movie that gave me depression
Hey do you ever think about how we’ve invented world killing weapons and the systems that protect us from the annihilation they bring are at the fallible hands of both humans and machine?
Fail Safe sure does...

Day 15: A movie that makes me happy
Just for pure, unbridled whimsy and joy it'd be inconceivable to choose anything other than The Princess Bride

Day 16: A movie that I personally relate to
Edge of Seventeen is mostly relatable in terms of the brother and his relationship with the family BUT it's also relatable cause Nadine dates a hot animator

Day 17: Favorite Movie Sequel
How is Paddington 2 so good? How did we end up with this weird Chaplin-esque family movie about a polite anthropomorphic bear and how did it become one of the best movies in recent memory? I have many questions.

Day 18: Favorite Actor
I love Domhnall Gleeson, from Harry Potter to Ex Machina to Star Wars - but there's no better Domhnall Gleeson movie than About Time. It's charming and moving and so much more than it presents as.

Day 19: Favorite Movie by my Favorite Director
The
Last Jedi Is A Master Piece
No one should be surprised that my fav director is @rianjohnson or that my favorite movie he’s done is the TLJ, which is also my favorite movie in my favorite movie franchise.

Day 20: A movie that changed my life
Honestly I have no idea but I’m gonna say Clerks cause it was probably the first time I realized anyone can just, like... make a movie.

Day 23: A Film Made by a Director that is Dead
Well that's... dark, but shoutout to Ferris Bueller and John Hughes. The first 30-45 minutes of this movie are non-stop iconic lines/moments and that's wild

Day 24: A movie I wish I saw in theaters
Jurassic Park must have been an incredible theater experience. I hope to see it on a big screen at some point but still that can’t compare to experiencing it for the first time in theaters.

Day 25: A Movie Set in A Different Era
We don't talk about The Road to El Dorado enough which is pathetic cause this is TOP TIER Dreamworks. Plus, its music is written by Elton John which is just *chef's kiss*

Day 26: A movie I like that’s adapted from somewhere
Keeping that Dreamworks train rolling with How to Train Your Dragon and here’s the real tea:
Dreamworks’ peak is better than Disney’s peak

Day 27: A Visually Striking Movie
Little Women deserves more hype in general but it ESPECIALLY deserves more hype for its cinematography. This movie is obscenely beautiful.

Day 28: A Movie That Makes Me Uncomfortable
Posting a day late because I didn't feel right talking about something as trivial as movie tastes right now, but I'm almost done with this thread so guess I'll finish.
Dancer In the Dark is so disturbing I can't do it
