9. Finishing scavenger hunts is a tough job sometimes, and there are months when a short movie is a godsend. Watch a movie with a runtime of less than 80 minutes.
10. Watch a movie with a poster that shares a color scheme with one of your top four.
11. Watch a movie you've never heard of before now.
12. Watch a movie with either the word 'good' or the word 'bad' in the title.
13. Watch a movie with the name of an animal in the title.
14. Watch a movie with a color in the title.
15. The first person I followed who I didn't know on this app was Eli Hayes. I didn't know at the time that he had passed, but I really appreciated his positivity and his unique perspective on film. Watch something from Eli's watchlist that he never got around to seeing.
16, 17, 18. For the next three prompts, choose three movies by the same director that released in different decades.
19. I was fortunate enough to catch a screening of Who Killed Captain Alex? that was followed by a Zoom Q&A with the director, Nabwana IGG. The spirit of their movies is unlike anything else. Watch a Wakaliwood movie. Alternatively, watch a film that was filmed in Africa.
20. Watch a movie that features a notable child actor performance.
21. Watch a European horror/thriller movie.
22. Watch a movie that features wire fu.
23. Watch a movie that shares a theme (under the genre tab) with your favorite movie.
24. Watch a movie with someone. Alternatively, watch a film both you and a friend have on your watchlists.
25. Watch a movie with a poster that consists of a framed image on a white background.
26. Watch a movie from someone else's hunt this month.
27. I love nostalgia in film, and there's almost nothing that does it more for me than a video store. Watch a film that features a video store.
28. Watch a movie where black and white cinematography was an aesthetic choice.
29. A lot of my favorite movies recently have come out of Hong Kong, and possibly my favorite movie that I've seen in the past five years has been In the Mood for Love. Watch a movie starring either Tony Leung or Maggie Cheung. Alternatively, watch a movie that was made in Hong Kong.
30. Watch a movie in theaters.
