WARx52 Challenge 2026: A Year of Living Dangerously

TL;DR
Watch 52 war films between Jan 1 and Dec 31 2026 using the prompts below. To participate, just drop a link to your list in the comments.

WELCOME!
For reasons that perhaps needn't be stated, I've spent the last couple of years thinking a lot about war, and it has inevitably shaped my viewing habits. To channel that, I'm launching a year-long challenge focused on war films and stories shaped by war: depictions of armed conflict, naturally, but also narratives of revolution, resistance, and resilience. If this resonates with you, I'd love for you to join - just share your list in the comments!

RULES OF ENGAGEMENT
