Progress: 38/52
Because everyone needs a little action in their lives.🎬
This is my first ACTIONx52 challenge. Let's see how it goes! Most of these are first watches, but if it's a rewatch, I haven't seen it in ages or it's due to selection/I really wanted to see it again😋 There may be some overlap with the other challenges I participate in and I may swap out if something comes up, but I'm excited for this!
Original list and prompts can be found here:
