NEGLIFY'S 2018 BIRTHDAY SCAVENGER HUNT
I love watching movies. I love reading other people’s opinions on movies. I love seeing things like TM2YC’s “1001 Movies To See Before You Die” challenge and Garp’s “My Year With Hitch” challenge. (Not to mention the “Movie Club” that MusicEd started.) I’ve been doing similar things for a while on Letterbox’d (and that’s only when I found a site to keep track of the movies I binge). Check out these Scavenger Hunts I’ve gone on through the last few years, and the wacky low-quality movies I used to watch with my Letterbox’d homies. (Check out the one I picked the tasks for, Scav Hunt 19, it’s awesome.)
May is my birthday month (whoopty shit, right?) so I decided to share my Scavenger Hunt with you FE peeps. Feel free to join me in watching some (or all) of these flicks, or just follow this thread and check out my reviews, or just say “FTG” and ignore me. I plan on watching them in order, but y’all can do whatever you want, you can even choose different flicks if you don’t like the stupid stuff I’m watching.
I’m almost certain I’ll be able to get ahold of all these flicks. Some of the obscure ones are on YouTube, BUT I WILL NOT BE POSTING ANY LINKS TO FULL-LENGTH MOVIES IN THIS THREAD AND NOBODY ELSE SHOULD EITHER. Google is your friend; private messages are awesome; invisible threads exist.
All right enough preamble, here are the tasks. There were 31 tasks in the original list (by user “Bethan”) but I cut it down to 23, since I was born on the 23rd. And I slightly altered a couple of her tasks, sue me.
