Cool! Day 1: The Doors https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ˜‚" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy"> my parents still talk about how I was probably way to young to see it but they wanted to and sometimes itā€™s hard to find someone to watch a two year old. Had no idea what was going on but I knew the songs! https://twitter.com/bbcgarcia/status/1256476855961448449">https://twitter.com/bbcgarcia...
Day 2: If weā€™re using F then Iā€™ll go with Fargo but if you insist on M then letā€™s say... Muppet Treasure Island!
Day 3: Iā€™m assuming this is a film that has more than five words in the title? If so: Bad Times at the El Royale. I think this was a few choices away from being the next great cult classic, and I want more films like this.
Day 4: A movie with a number in the title... of course itā€™s gonna be STAR WARS: EPISODE V - THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. Somehow this movie means more to me now then when it exploded my mind as a child. Itā€™s as comforting as a home cooked meal or what I imagine hugging Chewie is like
Day 5: the Movie Chef is my dream job scenario, not because of the food truck necessarily, although thatā€™s a huge part, but that he was working in food, quit and still had the disposable income and time to make the truck happen https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ˜‚" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">
Day 6: Favorite animated film is TOUGH!

Letā€™s go Iron Giant... I think that keeps me clear of recency bias, almost completely skirts the traditional/3D discussion, and is also one of the best movies of all time. Look at this and remember!
(Guess who forgot about this for a minute https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ˜­" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">)

Day 7: A movie Iā€™ll never get tired of.. probably the Matrix? I know itā€™s not the best or the most rewatchable of all the rewatchable, but I just can always put it on, pick it up from any spot and Iā€™m always in!
Day 8: a movie where I liked the soundtrack more... Bringing out the Dead. Throw some Clash songs at me and Iā€™m in and thatā€™s just the half of it!
Day 9: a film I hate that everyone else likes! Iā€™m trying to get away from this kind of thinking but... Saturday Night Fever? It might just be watching it now as opposed to then but itā€™s kind of gross and I kind of hate it.
Day 10: My favorite Super Hero film... there was a time when it was easy because there were like 5 good movies. This is another spot where Spider-Verse could go but I think Winter Solider is... in second place to Spider-Verse!
Day 11: I suppose of the broader genres my least favorite is Romance but I do really love West Side Story but itā€™s feels like a cheat because itā€™s a musical.
Day 12: the hardest part about this is deciding my favorite genre... if Hollow Man is sci-fi then thatā€™s a movie I hate from one of my favorite genres?! Itā€™s just weird and gross and not fun.
Day 13: Every now and again I think about the Florida Project for a good hour or so, I think about knowing people like that, aspects of my life that were on screen like long forgotten memories. It feels like my Sliding Doors sometimes.
Day 14: I canā€™t blame any film for giving me depression, thatā€™s a lot to put on my favorite pasttime. I know itā€™s not meant to be depressing necessarily but Moana came out pretty soon after my Grandma passed, so the Grandma storyline sent me into a evening long tailspin.
Day 15: A film that makes me feel happy... 10 Things I Hate About You is just such a good movie that makes me genuinely smile almost the entire movie. Happy and hopeful on first viewing and warm and fuzzy with nostalgia now!
Day 17: My favorite sequel is probably a lot of peopleā€™s favorite and possibly THE best sequel of all time: The Empire Strikes Back. I know it seems obvious but itā€™s the first sequel I remember seeing and it was such an elevation in story telling.. it canā€™t be overstated.
Day 18: A film that stars my favorite actor or actress... Viola Davis is just always so good so I feel compelled to shout out Widows which I really feel was overlooked and under hyped. Really just a great entry in genre that just got lost.
Day 19: a film by my favorite director... weā€™ve already got Shaun on this thread but damn if Hot Fuzz isnā€™t a movie that gets better every single time I watch it! Possibly a perfect movie?
Day 20: A film that changed my life... Princess Mononoke comes to mind. I wouldā€™ve seen this when I was like 10-11, just about to go into middle school. I didnā€™t think about movies as more than entertainment, particularly ā€œcartoonsā€ but it changed all of that.
Day 21: I can honestly say, even bad movies, Iā€™ve never dozed off in. I can barely fall asleep watching movies Iā€™ve seen a dozen times! But a friend of mine did audibly snore when we saw Speed Racer in theaters, so Iā€™ll count that https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ˜‚" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">
Day 22: A film that makes me angry... this is tough, this makes me wish Iā€™d had Letterboxd my whole life so I could go back and see what really pissed me off. It might feel prisoner of the moment but the Avatar: The Last Airbender movie was infuriating. Shoutout to @Tateland
Day 23: A film made by a director that is dead is kind of an aggressive phrasing https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ˜‚" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy"> I think Tony Scott is kind of underrated, understandably so when your brother made Alien but Man on Fire is one of my favorite movies, a sleeper Denzel classic.
Day 24: Something I wish Iā€™d seen in theaters... Iā€™m going to leave obvious classics from before I was born out of this. So, letā€™s go, Saving Private Ryan. I have to think anything with big visceral battle scenes is more arresting on the big screen.
Day 25: Iā€™m a sucker for a period piece, so a movie a like from another era... so many good recent ones too... but letā€™s go Kingā€™s Speech for the cast alone!
Day 26: A movie adapted from something: I already did 10 Things I Hate About You in this thread... Clueless is also great... O Brother Where Art Thou though is so great.
