I loved doing this last year and discovered a lot of new favourites! I can’t wait to find some more this year!

These are my picks for The Official Hater Club Movie Challenge 2026 created by Cory Haynes 🤍

Progress: 10/52

Disclaimer The Hater Club Movie Challenge™️ is not about hating on films. Instead, it’s about exploring movies you might have overlooked, avoided, or have been in your watchlist for too long. The goal is to challenge your preferences, break out of your comfort zone, and maybe even discover a new favorite along the way. Let’s keep it fun, respectful, and open-minded while watching some movies!
