I'm joining Ruben's 52 First Times 2026 Challenge. I've changed the weekly schedule to an open category challenge. I don't have the cinema discipline to follow a weekly schedule, but this looks like a fun challenge. Wish me luck!

For anyone looking for more Letterboxd challenges I made one! The Cinespectacular Film Odyssey Challenge 2026. Would love it if you could join us.
