I'm joining Nick's challenge.

PROGRESS: 31/52

Rules:

– You can watch the movies in any order and at your own pace (daily, weekly, monthly).
– There are no substitutions for the prompts, although you can change your picks as the year progresses (as long as they fit within the parameters of the prompt).
– Every movie must be a comedy.
– The length of each movie varies based on the prompts below.
– While I would prefer your movies to be first-time watches (with the exception of prompts 1–3), I’ll leave that up to you when crafting your lists.
– The challenge begins on January 1, 2026, and concludes on December 31, 2026. You can finish the challenge at any point during the year.
